More images from Canada Day

Just a couple for today… Gods how I do like the feel of Black and White…

Branch of Berries

Dawn likes the colour shot I took of this better, though I do find the desaturated imaging shows better detail not only on the fruit but as well highlights the spider web.

Meh. :P

I should shoot Dawn more in black and white. She normally hates photos of herself, but somehow liked the shots I took of her the other day. Strange.

Maybe a few more pictures tomorrow.

Images of the Pacific Northwest on Canada Day

Even though in some parts of the Lower Mainland petrol hit just over $1.50 (thanks to the biggest asshole in British Columbia wonderful man in BC, Gordon Campbell). Ahh, the completely redundant Carbon Tax which the funds will be used only for the MLA’s beer and pretzels. Joy. With honest, hardworking people taking the proverbial dildo in the ass for said beer and pretzels.

Joy.

Well, as prices increase, I further become joyous that I’ve taken the daily commute to transit. With the current costs I’m saving close to $80 per month (while still insuring the car). And on a random, in the middle of the week one day holiday, it’s nice to get out, even for a short while.

Dawn and I hit Pacific Spirit Park this afternoon, and I took it upon myself to practice getting better at Black and White photography. Amazing how much technology is put into digital cameras to create more realistic colour, and I just simply go backwards a step. Still, I like the edgier, old feel (especially when shooting with a higher ISO value to give the grain feel as well).

Picture lot #1:

More photos from today to post tomorrow.

The one where I start posting again…

And yes, I got my new camera nice and dirt cheap, thanks to Future Shop. Anyhow, to see the results…

That is all.
