midnight fog

Another after work shot of Science World...I noticed it was foggy just as I was pulling out of National Yard so I thought why not. A few different possibilities but it was cold and the metal on the camera and tripod just about gave me frostbite. Or at least it felt like it in the end. As often as I come by and take photos I find the different weather and light conditions to provide an interesting variety of shots.

Eastside morning

I wanted to try a sunrise/sunset shot from this vantage point and I am not too keen on it. It is tougher to shoot when it is towards the sun. Seems like my more successful shots are when it is opposite the sun or away from it. Or maybe it's the foreground that isn't suitable. But this vantage point has been good when there are lots of clouds on an cloudy day and not at sunrise/sunset.

Vancouver Idle No More

Another protest...seems like everybody is including me. Tried my hand at portraiture on the street so to speak. Lots more practice...mostly to get over the feeling of intruding in someone else's space and take a good photo!

at Kits Beach on a foggy New Year's day

I was trying to get to the Polar Bear swim but with so many people couldn't find a parking spot so I went to my usual shooting location at Kits Beach. Cold at freezing temperature but there were a lot of people walking around. Great day to start the new year.
