Roles

There was a fantastic ultimate game today. It was just so intense and fun. And of course I had my camera with me, so I got some photos. So now I've got all these photos that I'm still sorting through/editing before uploading. And you know, as I was looking through these photos, I realized that I've got a lot of photos of sports. Like, a lot. And then I got these other photos from shooting events of all different types. I've also got photos of friends too. And finally, I've got my own photos that I've taken just for the sake of taking photos. I guess what I'm getting at is that I've gone through a lot of different types of photography, and now it's time to really start organizing all of these thousands of photos, seeing as I have a few presentations come up soon haha

Just fly

After shooting the dandelions yesterday, I wanted to do more with them so I went out and found a large field with plenty of these magnificent plants. One thing I found out was that focusing on these little things is impossible. I actually had to mount the camera on a tripod, and manually set the focus in hopes that some of them would be in focus when the self timer went off. It took a while, but I think it was well worth it. Patience is most certainly a virtue.

Sun

Oh man, the weather today was amazing! Well, not so much in the morning, but by mid afternoon, it was beautiful. I came home from my ultimate game, and went out for a walk with my dear camera. You know, maybe it's time I gave my camera a name lol. But anyways, I found these dandelions as I was walking about. I tried experimenting with a lighting technique I accidentally discovered a few months ago when I was doing a photoshoot for a friend. I'm quite pleased with the result, as it almost looks like the photo was taken on old school film

Encounters

So I was going out for a walk with my camera today, and I found myself up at the cemetery. It was really nice up there, all cool and quiet. Then in the distance I see this furry object moving around (I didn't have my glasses with me). So I took out my camera and quickly got the zoom lens out too. Turns out it was a coyote. Yeah....like, not some person's dog, it was w ild coyote. Not trying to overeact here, but it was kinda freaky, yet exciting at the same time. Anyways, just thought I'd share that story. Also, sorry for the poor picture quality, it was dark out, and I also had to do a bit of digital cropping afterwards. You can click the image to enlarge it and zoom in to get a better look.

Social

I'm not a man who follows hockey incredibly in deapth, but I do enjoy watching a game with some friends. Today the Canucks played the Chicago Blakhawks, and I must say, it was a an intense game. While I can't name off every player on either team, I still had a great time. I can't help but feel like going out to watch a honkey game at a friend's house is just something that needs to be done in a young adult's life haha

Take a seat

As I was packing up my things at the end of the night, I saw the dining room table, and noticed this epic lighting. So as always, I went and grabbed by camera to take a photo. You know, that table's been there for as long as I can remember, and yet I never noticed the beauty of it until it was under the right lighting conditions. I'm just happy that I even noticed it at all lol

Japadog!

Alrighty, so I finally got around to trying a Japadog for the first time lol. It was actually pretty good, but I'm noure if I'd go back for another one anytime soon. But ya, I just saw it when I was walking around downtown today before going to the Pat Metheny concert! YEEEAAAAAHHHHH lol but seriously, it was a fantastic concert. You know, I havn't been to many concerts in my life, but I think I'll start going to more (assuming I have enough money haha)
