Hike for a view

I went for a hike on Friday morning and shot this photo. I thought 300mm would be long enough, but to be honest I think I needed a little more reach. Sadly the only 400mm lens I have is absolutely massive and there is no way I’m dragging that monstrosity up a mountain haha. With …

Trying to Snow

It was trying to snow all day and well into the evening yesterday in Kelowna. Thankfully the snow hasn’t been sticking to the ground, so I’m ok with it. The snow flakes got really big at one point so I ran into my back yard and shot this photo on our basketball court. I actually …

West Kelowna View

I was in West Kelowna yesterday and I found myself in front of this great view. I’m not big on mountain and lake views, I’m more of a city view kind of guy. However, I do realize that this is definitely a nice view. I think I like this mountain view better than most because …

It lives on

I really should have posted this picture with yesterday’s post. Sadly I didn’t really look at this shot for more than 2 seconds when I was getting that other post together. I went to delete the garbage photos today from that day and realized I should have posted this one too. Rather than send it …

Winter Cemetery

I had to pick up my son from his friend’s house yesterday morning. His friend lives up the hill from us and I had seen this Cemetery before when I was driving up there. I figured I’d bring my camera a long see if I could get a picture. I think I actually like the …

Snow has arrived

Well the snow has landed in Kelowna and does not show any signs of going anywhere anytime soon. Yesterday I knew I had to get out the door for a picture and it had to have snow in it. I didn’t know what I was going to shoot when I went out, so I dressed …

A Random Walkway

Just a random walkway in Victoria, BC. I was just walking by and though all the brick looked cool. Plus it was nice bonus that some people were walking towards me. I find a picture like this is always better then there are some people in it. Next time I am in Victoria I am …

A Chilly Night in Chinatown

I shot this photo around 12:30am Victoria, BC. I always enjoy going out and shooting photos late at night. There’s usually minimal people around the city is quiet. Don’t get me wrong, I love shooting at 9pm too when there are people everywhere, but the two times are totally different experiences. When I lived in …

The Empress Hotel 35

This hotel in Victoria, British Columbia is outstanding! I love old buildings and this one does not disappoint. Normally I would have shot photos of this place a little wider than the 35mm I was shooting, but I only brought my Fujifilm x100T (with a fixed 35mm lens) with me to Victoria so 35 was …

The Missing Puppy Pictures!

On January 6th I posted a story about our road trip to Victoria to drop off some puppies. See that post here. There was actually a bunch of pictures that went with that story. I just noticed that the pictures never got published with the story! WordPress has been a little weird for me these …

A Dark Night in Victoria

I was hanging out one night visiting with some family and around 10:30 everyone was off to bed. I was pretty tired, but I knew it was good opportunity for me to go out and shoot some photos. It was cold and snowy, so it wasn’t exactly a nice time to be out and about, …

So much snow!

My family and I were just living it up in Victoria for a visit recently. While they did have an unusual amount of snow in Victoria, it was nothing compared to what was waiting for us back in Kelowna. The snow is everywhere! I had the shovel more than one person off the side of …

Snow up There

Most of the snow around the city of Kelowna has melted. But if you head up into the mountain there still plenty of the white stuff up there. This view gives you a pretty clear picture of what that look like 🙂 Camera: Panasonic Lumix L100 Thanks for stopping by, Rob
