Snapped downtown during Olympics
In the Ontario Pavillion…series of wood “curves” with light shining up on them…I ducked inside for a quick shot or two.
Colourful display in Chinatown
Another picture at the same display.
Walking away from Chinatown…something about this called to me…geometry…symmetry…would be better without the reflections in the windows I think.

Taken while walking around downtown during the Olympics…thsi is near the Olympic Cauldron, but everyone takes pictures of that…I try to be different.
The Torch!
I was there…this was the last leg of the torch run…~500,000 people were downtown…
Ice, Grass and Leaf
and now zooooom in to see the detail
A cold walk at lunch time…crouch down in a ditch, and what do you get??
Unlimited DOF…via multiple exposures
Just like using multiple exposures to get a single HDR image…you can use multiple focal depths to get a combined image with infinite DOF!
I made a Ring Light!!
It all started when my buddy Mat sent me this link:
http://hackaday.com/2009/11/16/led-ring-light/
How to make a ring light for your camera, for only ~$15…I took a look at the instructions, and where to get the ring of LED’s…turns out, it is at one of my favourite web-sites: www.dealextreme.com
SO I ordered, built and tested…Mine does not look quite as slick as the one in the picture above, but check out the results!
First, with no flash at all:
The image of the connector shows motion blur…with no flash, the shutter needs to stay open longer, and if you wiggle at all…blur.
Now, with the on-camera flash:
The image of the DB9 shows some good detail…where the flash was able to reach! bottom right of both images have the on-camera flash shadowed by the lens of the camera itself, resulting in very uneven lighting.
Now…the ring light:
Even lighting, the detail is there for the whole image. Nice. The DB9 image still has a DOF problem…but that is a whole other issue, and has little to do with the lighting.
Let me know what you think!
Just another wall…
I like walls….makes a great windows background!
Scarves
Again in the Public Market in Seattle…this time colourful scarves!
Peppers!
How could I resist taking a picture of these! Fantastic colours! Outdoor Public Market in Seattle.
Spiral
At Boeing in Everett…This is what it would look like if a jet engine was about to hit you!
Seattle Building
Visiting Seattle…cool building…cool perspective…snap!
Light from above!
On a ferry trip from Horshoe bay to Nanaimo…very windy…grabbed this shot, and ran back in to get warm!
Sunrise over Citadel
Drive into work today…lots of colours in the sky….stopped to snap a pic or two!
Good Morning!
The sun bursting through the trees…camera had some troubles adjusting to the brightness…unfortunately there was some weird reflections or something in the bottom left…but the halo effect in the fog was cool!
Pencil Crayons…another angle
Slightly different angle this time…which do you like better?
And More Pencil Crayons
And even more pencil crayons…and this time on a black background…
Pencil Crayons!
Box of new pencil crayons, and a good macro camera…I love it!
