Walking by the sea

Hikers take advantage of the low tide at Botanical Beach near Port Renfrew. This is an HDR (high dynamic range) image that was made from three photos at different exposures. I just started playing with HDR on the weekend and I absolutely love the results. I have an album of HDR images from this day out on my website.

The Capitol Building is probably the most recognizable piece of architecture in Washington DC and is often mistaken for the White House, which is much smaller and almost invisible as it is dwarfed my most other buildings in the city. This shot of the Capitol was taken from the National Art Gallery's sculpture garden.

I'd like to buy a vowel...

It looks like The Examiner in Baltimore could use a proofreader for the sign on their building.

Vietnam Memorial

Tourists walk by the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, DC. The obelisk in the background is the Washington Monument.

Speeding through sunset

If there was ever a time I didn't want to be driving, this was it. I was driving from the Delaware coast to the DC area and got to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge at sunset. Since I was on the bridge, I couldn't stop or turn around so I just grabbed my camera and started shooting. It's a good thing, because by the time I got to the other side of the bridge, the sunset was pretty much finished. I got this at about 60 mph.

Baltimore Harbor

Baltimore's Inner Harbor is probably the city's top tourist destination.

Just like the commercial!

I was walking from my hotel to the Baltimore Convention Center this morning when I noticed the AT&T billboard and the building in the background. It was just like that TV commercial AT&T is running now.

Back in the news!

The City of Duncan Totem Photography Policy - the one I've had a bee in my bonnet about for the last couple of months - is back in the news today.

The Globe and Mail ran a story about it today. Check it out.

Every time a story on the issue runs, the city just looks stupider and stupider.

I have since found out that the story ran in the Winnipeg Free Press, the Lethbridge Herald, The Vancouver Island Business Examiner, Imaging Insider, Arts News Canada, Shaw TV, A-Channel Victoria, Global TV Victoria, CHEK TV Victoria and the Western Canadian News Photographers Association.

Sunset arrival

A cruise ship approaches Vancouver as the sun sets. This was taken from a BC Ferry crossing from Horseshoe Bay to Nanaimo.

Golden moment

I got this on the same evening as I shot "Evening Cast." I stopped at this lake at the perfect time just before sunset and caught the wonderful glow of the early autumn colors.
