Painting with Light

Saturday morning, and for some reason I could not sleep.  So instead of tossing and turning I got dressed and went for a little drive to Wabamum Lake.  Well 80km one way is a little drive in Alberta standards.  I had no plans for a shoot… just something ad hoc.  Since it was still dark at 5am in the morning, I decided to try some light painting. Basically you set the shutter speed to anything about 1 sec.  Then you move the camera while the shutter is open.  This creates some interesting results.  Here are some that I think came out quite well.  Enjoy!

Fall is here

Fall is here.  This starts a great season in colours, and beauty, as the world prepares itself for the long winter ahead.  At least here in Edmonton.  Our apple trees were, again,  very fruitful this year.  We have so much of all kinds of different apple preserves from the years before, that this year we let it go.  It saddens me to all that fruit unpicked, but then when I remember the amount of work it takes to go through one batch of these, I just shake my head and let the apples fertilize the ground.

On our recent trip to Yellowknife, I had a great opportunity to take my good friend’s BMW M3 for a spin.  I must say, that it was an amazing experience.  I was able to snag some shots of it, but I think these came out the best.  To me they show the hidden dark power of the car, that can be unleashed with surprising ease.  It is a scary, exhilarating car.

Bubble-licious

Yesterday was a perfect day for blowing bubbles in Edmonton. Hardly any wind, nice and warm. A perfect summer day. Face it, does not matter ho old I am, I’m always mesmerized with the slowly floating, color swirling, gentle, fragile, soap bubbles. Kids were having a hoot running around the yard popping them, so I grabbed my camera to get some of the bubble action. The bubbles were not very easy to capture. Because of their translucency the autofocus wasn’t working very well. Out of about 100 pictures I got only these to show off. So enjoy.

Took this shot while on the walk around Edmonton downtown. You can always wonder where these stairs are leading to. Enjoy!
