Last look. This was a nice daily view for a few months, but it’s time to move on. Canon EOS 450D (XSi) · Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 10 mm · 3.2 s · f/3.5 · ISO 800 Thanks of the most heartfelt, unending variety to bestest friends Meaghan and Matt (and Kairi, too), for being the most ridiculously amazing, tolerant, …

One more rainbow, but in a rather different setting. Canon EOS 400D (XTi) · Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 18 mm · 1/160 s · f/8 · ISO 100 Don’t get me wrong. Capturing this most interesting rainbow was great and worth it and all that rot, but the incredibly fast-approaching and pounding torrential squall which immediately preceded it, and caught …

50% right time, 50% right place, 50% right fluke. Canon EOS 400D (XTi) · Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 18 mm · 1/200 s · f/9 · ISO 200 I was traversing the Malahat one rainy Saturday morning when, as I made my way past those huge power lines which would be really fun to zipline across, the sky broke open, …
autumn
Sure, autumn officially starts in September, but it really feels like it in October. Canon EOS 400D (XTi) · Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 55 mm · 1/100 s · f/7.1 · ISO 200 From a recent quick trip to Little Qualicum Falls, which was fun and happy on many levels. =)
Craigflower Creek
The roaring rapids of Craigflower Creek. Yeah, don’t fall in, or you’ll get your ankles wet. =) This is an oft-used nature-photographer technique (keep the shutter open to capture the movement of the water) and, while I’ve seen it before the proverbial ‘zillion times,’ I’m still pretty happy with how this came out. Ah, nature. The cheapest neutral density filter …

Looking out to the waters near Clover Point. =)
Swan Lake sun
The sun reflects off the surface of Swan Lake, covered in its thin layer of I’m-not-really-sure-what. I don’t think it was algae bloom, ’cause an algae bloom’s supposed to be slimy and gross, right? This was more like zillions and zillions of itty bitty leaves and whatnot. Fascinating, but not slimy and gross. Mind, I didn’t dip my head in …
cloudfire
Sunbeams break through the clouds in the distance, while the rest of the sky remains extra-dark. This is the last photo for February. It’s not the most conventional month for a launch, but February’s been good for me. My very first job, a paper route I had when I was 14, began on February 1. Exactly ten years later, my …
