Seems I'm not the only one buying CDs these days. Picked this up at a Chapters store as I was buying a book for Ashley. An impulse buy but my wife likes the album too.

Good morning Vancouver!
Just want to greet everyone this morning. The sunrise is beautiful with an orange/pinkish colour. Must be nice up Teresa's way in New Westminster. Good morning world.
soy sauce
We photographers must look a bit strange to other people specially when they see us shooting at a restaurant while having a meal. :-D
nice try
Always try to take the light and shadow shots. In winter the bare trees make for interesting patterns. No avoiding these electric lines though.
Brackendale
I went with a Meetup group today to see the eagles in Brackendale. I was nice and cold and there were a lot of eagles about. Unfortunately we were a bit late to catch the feeding time and the eagles were accross the river. It was difficult photographing them as we didn't have the long lens to do it. Oh well, I still enjoyed the morning. The view of the mountains was just wonderful.

a slow day...interesting sunrise colours
The colors of the skies are not necessarily photoshopped. I just haven't looked enough.
Wired
Really liked the way this come out with so many layers. I also used a P&S which is probably more the reason I even took this shot.
Explosion
The Chrismas Season brings out the light and this one of the St.Paul's Hospital in downtown Vancouver is one of the best. I accidently stumbled on this technique of zooming and really love the effect.
Fraser Street Mosaic
I wanted to create this mosaic of Fraser Street from a set of photos. I would like to do this for different areas of Vancouver.
magical day
There is a church in the neighborhood and I wanted to set up a shot with the rainbow hitting the roof of the church. But alas and alack there were houses in the way and I couldn't align the 2...sigh.
forecast
With 25mm forecast I guess we'll need this. I've joined the Meetup group which goes to Brackendale this Sunday and I haven't the clue what to wear/bring. Brackendale weather turned out better than Vancouver where it snowed!
run offs
All the snow's gone and the rains keep running off into the drains. Cross-processing sure makes the image look more artsy.
Seth 2
Took some photos at a close family friends Christening reception. I used a flash and umbrella and am now firmly convinced that it is the way to go. I could go with a softbox but the results are just the same so...
Strobist info: SB-800 with shoot-thru umbrella atop lightstand on camera left and triggered by PWs.

panoramic portrait
Non-standard crops are kind of fun at times. And make for interesting results IMO.
snow
First snow of the year. It looks so beautiful out there and although I have lots of photos of snow scenes...there's always more to take.
red 1
We arrived at this spot in the middle of the day where the lighting was flat. But it's a great location and one takes a photo with whatever is there when on vacation. Post processing helps an awful lot...as long as the composition is good. I used the Nik photoshop plug-ins on this image.
yin and yang
I must look odd at times as I shoot everywhere and a lot of times when waiting for the food orders to arrive. I thought this kind of looked cool.
