The Three Amigos

I was walking around my neighbourhood last night taking pictures. I was walking down the street when I noticed these 3 beautiful paintings in the window of an art gallery. Then I noticed the cool gold sculpture. Right away I knew there was something there. I spent most of my time trying to get a …

1 Week Till Christmas

Wow, it’s hard to believe it’s already one week till Christmas! I’ve got most of my shopping done, but I still have to buy a couple things. I guess I better get that done TODAY! If you haven’t finished your shopping yet I’d suggest you do the same. 😉 As for these pictures. This golden …

Rotary Marsh Sunset

I walked out of this building by the Rotary Marsh Park bird sanctuary to this amazing sunset! I only had my phone on me, so rather than miss out I just used what I had. There was a time when I wouldn’t have even been able to get this type of photo with my phone, …

Colourful Lake

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 …

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, …

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 …

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, …

Buildings by the Park

If you’re gonna live downtown in a big city, living by a park would be ideal. This is part of David Lam Park in Vancouver and it’s bigger than it looks in this picture. Anyhow, I’ve lived in a lot of apartments in my life, but never across the street from a park like this. …
