I went out last night with a 70-200 and nothing else. It’s probably a good thing too because if I had another longer lens, I surely would have used it and I think that would have been a mistake. For this particular photo with all the colourful lights reflecting off the lake I think 200mm …
Star Light in The Store
I went out to shoot some photos last night with just a 50mm f/1.4. I honestly had no idea of what kind of picture I was going take, but I knew it was going to be wide open (this is when the lenses aperture is at it’s wides and letting in the most light). I …
Late Night in the Park
I pushed myself out the door last night to go shoot some photos. I could see the leaves on the trees in front of my house were quite still, so I knew there wasn’t any wind. I figured it would be a good night to go shoot a photo by the lake. I had another …
Kelowna BC on Fire!
I don’t even know what to say about this picture. In the afternoon the McDougall Creek wildfire was just on the other side of that mountain and smoke was flying into the sky like it was coming out of a cannon. I never thought it would start burning down this side of the mountain towards …
Bench with a View
I was walking through City Park as one does in Kelowna. It’s a nice view of the city on the north side of the park. There are these benches a long the promenade and people are always there enjoying the view. This picture is super random as I could have shot any one of the …
A night for pictures
I went out to shoot some photos twice yesterday. The first trip I went out on I got absolutely nothing! Thankfully my son needed to be picked up downtown so I took my camera a long and went and shot a few more photos. I didn’t get much when it was time to go, but …
Rickshaw Paradice
I made my way downtown last night to see what was happening. There was a lot going on, but these rickshaws were putting on quite the show. These guys just take people for a ride and jump around and spin. The people in the carts seem to be having the time of their life and …
Cute Sign
I was walking down this weird street in Kelowna the other night looking for a picture when I noticed this cute snail sign. I kinda had to climb on this little fence to get a proper shot of it. I was shooting with my Leica M8 with a 50mm f2 lens which is manual focus, …
Still Alive
Well the return to this blog has been on my mind for a while. When winter hit I kinda just put my camera down and then had a hard time getting back into the swing of things in the spring. I’ve been shooting photos, not as much as I used to but I have been …
A Warm Street in Mexico
As I sit here and it’s clearly freezing cold outside I can’t help but think back to last year around this time when I was walking around San Jose del Cabo, Mexico in a t-shirt and shorts. I love walking around taking pictures in warm weather. When the streets are icy like they are here …
Just a bit of Sunset
The sunsets are not always amazing, but they are always beautiful, well to me at least. I dunno why, but sunsets over a city just do it for me. I like big cities and big city views. This view has a lot going on because the foreground takes up so much of the space, but …
Boardwalk Beer
I was walking down the boardwalk one night in New Westminster taking pictures when I noticed this guy sitting on a bench with a beer. There was a light post right beside him lighting him up just perfectly. I asked him if he would mind if I took a picture of him and he said …
A Touch of Smoke
I think I shot this photo back in September. There was some fires in Washington state at the time and the smoke was traveling up across the boarder into Vancouver. The smoke didn’t look so great during the day, but as the sun started go down it looked better and better. Thanks for stopping by, …
