More Fun With Infrared.

Just a few more I wanted to post. Not quite the effect I wanted but what the heck. The sky in traditional IR is a mainly black. For what ever reason it just won't get there without drastic editing. And even that dosen't do it well. I'm just going to keep experimenting.

Downtown Cruise Night

Every Wednesday night in the summer there is a large gathering of the local car community. This compliments the usual gatherings every Sunday night as well. These are held in numerous locations in our fair city. All of which I attend on a regular basis.

Why? I love cars. I love the designs, the colours, the sounds, the people involved. Combine that with my love of photography and the mix is heaven. Sure I love just looking at them but to capture them with my camera is something again. I rarely see the whole car at a time. I love little design cues, emblems, grills and lights. These are what I focus on the most. There is one shot I like to repeat from car to car and I'll let you figure out what that one is. Okay...maybe there's a couple. Most importantly for a shot to really get my attention, there has to be light. The last few hours before sunset are the times I love best. Long shadows and that wonderful warm light. Harsh midday sun does nothing for my creative energy.

Anyways. Before I ramble on too much I hope you enjoy my latest photos. This is the largest single post I've ever created and this was a lot of work. Instead of just cars I incorporated more the surroundings this time for more of a journalistic approach. Just a few though. I don't wan't to loose my "focus". Hahaha...alright...I thought it was funny.

Enjoy.

Playing With Fire!

Wow. Talk about being in the right place at the right time. This was an amazing group. Hope to see them again.

Fun With Infrared.

More Random Shots Again.

Just a day out and about. Had a great day roaming around. Not the greatest photos, I just had fun today. Took in The Forks Market and a few other spots. Enjoy.

I'm Back

Yes. It's that time a year again. The snow is gone, the rain is here and the sun hasn't been seen in weeks. That means that summer is almost upon us. Hence the lack of any photo activity on my part. Every day off it rains and I really don't have the urgency to go out in that unless there is lightning involved. That hasn't happened yet. Just rain.

So the first sunny Sunday in a while found me at the local car hang out suffering from a horrible cold and trying to find inspiration. Probably why the first pic stood out for me. ;) This is it so far. What a fantastic start. (That was sarcasm in case you didn't notice.)

Goosed!

Portrait Time

Yes. It's that time. I don't get to post a lot of these but here are two I'm very happy with. My niece Zoey was the reluctant subject. My sister did not want the typical "Portrait" look. So she dressed her up one Sunday afternoon and she ran around while I snapped some photos. I like them. She loves them. Her family loves them and that's all that matters to me.
