Rainy Day Filter

Today, it started out being a cloudy day, the sun finally appeared for a little bit in the afternoon. However, the rain soon came and I decided to see how rain could act as a filter in my photos. I took a few photos, and selected this one below.

Should I go?

Should I also go down this path? I think so...

Opening in the sky

Tonight the sky was really nice and dark blue. I captured a variety of shots including movement, however this shot stood out as the key shot! These shots are all off the camera (small point and shoot) with no editing.

Here are a few other notables:

Laurier Ave Bridge

I often drive down Queen Elizabeth Drive, which run parallel to part of the Rideau canal in Ottawa. Some of the bridges that span the canal have intrigued me. I sometimes wonder when they were built, as some seem like giants and others like little fortresses. Tonight I decided to take a quick photo of the bridge that supports Laurier Avenue. As the year progresses, I hope to catch some of the other bridges, especially in evening shots as I find they are often well light. Here is the green monster!

focusing in

I decided to have fun today. Below are a series of photos that are focusing in on a shot. Playing with light and focusing in.

Moving light or light movement?

Today's photo was an attempt to capture light. I am sometimes surprised of what a small point and shoot can do with very little options to control the environment. I decided to be a bit creative today and capture light while moving and see what I came up with and here are two photos that I took. There are aspects in both that I like and didn't know if I was just going to use one or the other, and decided to show both photos.

Winter night, day 5...

It was a long day, wasn't sure what photo I would take. After the first upset of the evening, my team lost at vball. Some of the players decided we'd go to a bar, and I was happy with the idea, as I'd catch the rest of the Canadian vs Russia junior hockey game. This was yet another fiasco. We arrived in the middle of the 2nd, when the score was 2-0, and then it eventually went to 3-0, and then the third period came. The player's overconfidence, and Russia's desire to win made the table turn and quickly Russia tied the game, and then sealed the deal by putting up 2 extra points, to win it 5-2.

I was hoping that my photo was going to be a victory shot in the bar, however that was not the case. Instead, I put away my camera in the bar and figured I would get something else. This shot might seem a bit bizarre, but it's a camaro covered in a light dust of snow with only the shop light offering any light on the scene. There seems to be a blue hue at the top of the photo, that light comes from the street about sixty yards away.
