Project 366 ~ Day 13

Friday the 13th
The moon was still high as I left for work, and was a lovely blue.  This was handheld using my 70-200 f/4 with a 1.4 extender, and the crop is about 85%.

Project 366 ~ Day 12

Green Eyes
My first attempt at removing and replacing colour.  The result doesn't look nearly as realistic as I would like, but I"m pretty happy with it as a first try...

Project 366 ~ Day 11

New Tripod
I finally upgraded - here is my new Gitzo GT2541 with my Photo Clam ballhead.  Pretty skookum, eh?

Project 366 ~ Day 9

Weather Comin' In
The strangest thing about this photo is that it was taken today (January 9th) and there is NO SNOW on the ground! The high today was +7. However, those clouds are bringing the weather, and by tomorrow this field should be white again and the temp back to a seasonable -15...

Project 366 ~ Day 3

Too Late...
I came home tasting the last cooler, seeing it in my mind's eye right there in the fridge door. First day back to work, and a cooler to refresh me after...  Except my wife got thirsty, and drank the cooler while I was on the way home!  :(

Starting Again... Day One of Project 366

A serious illness last spring stopped my last Project 365 in it's tracks - and almost stopped me, too.  2011 was not a good year for my photography, and I'm really planning on getting back on track in 2012.  I started a new project today, and since it's a leap year - welcome to my Project 366!

My first issue was deciding which photos to use for day one.  I finally settled on 2, as they both have something to say.

The first is called  "and a frog for luck"

1/366  ...and a frog for luck....

Project 365 2.0 ~ Day 39

International Incident.

This old truck sits in deep snow, and hasn't run in ages. I was drawn to it because of the rust, snow, etc. But it wasn't until I stopped to photograph it that I noticed the bullet holes...!

Project 365 2.0 ~ Day 38

Blazing the Trail...

The removal of snow behind my office left an eight foot deep canyon that looked so strange - I had to shoot it!

Superbowl Sunday.

The NFL recognized this past October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the players wore pink all month. This closeup is from my Tennessee Titans toque that I got during that campaign.

#4017.

Green apples at Safeway - aren't they pretty? I took some shots with my iPhone since taking the big camera into the store is a no no...

Rainy Friday.

Rain in February is rare where I live, but today was warm enough for it to fall...

Wet Bird.

It warmed up today and got really slushy again. I'm not sure how this little guy got so wet, but he took the opportunity to have a long bath safe in the branches of this bush.

I finally got a 70-200 f/4 IS, and I can't be happier. It is FUN.

Endangered Species?

If you can call an inanimate object a species... Canada is contemplating doing away with the penny. I'm old enough to feel a bit weird about this, even though it makes sense...

Project 365 2.0 ~ Day 28

New Computer!

My computer has been enduring a slow and painful death, and I finally had to order something new. (Yeah, boxing day sales!) Going from XP to Win 7 64 has been - shall we say - an experience... But I've finally gotten the right programs loaded so that I can get back to my Project 365.

Big Eyes

I got a cool fish eye lens for - of all things - my iphone camera! It comes with a tiny metal ring that sticks around the camera on the phone - then the lens sticks to the ring via a magnet. Fun!

Peace River Sunrise

I had to work in Fort St. John today, and arrived just in time to catch the sunrise. I love how the orange sky reflected in the river...
