Riding

So, me and my brother braved the cold today to take our toys out, I feel that I've finished my DT project off pretty well.  First time I've combined my two loves, worked out well, despite the fact that I was constantly thinking about the well-being of my camera.

Hecla

So the trip to Hecla...in spite of illness, went really well.  At least based on my digital stuff...haven't sent in the film for processing yet.

    

Though my sunrise panorama didn't work out nicely, I was fairly pleased with the shot I got at sunrise in Hecla Village

Mitch's brief venture into the world of concert photography

I'm my continued avoidance of Christmas shopping I finally got through the 700 odd shots from a show I went to with Alicia.  Rented out the 24-70 2.8L from Don's, was thoroughly pleased with it for low-light shooting...though I'm used to having the reach of the 24-105.

The rest of the set can be seen on my flickr

A break in the rush

So the Christmas rush has fully settled upon me, since well...I don't have my shopping done.

So I decided, what a better way to get my shopping done than to sit down with my laptop and run some shots through Lightroom!

 

Self portraits

...I must say I had a lot of fun with the self-portraits, maybe too much fun... I've become a believer in off-camera flash.

  

Black and White

The more I play with the develop panel in Lightroom, the more I'm beginning to like the digital b/w conversion. I could never pull off black and white I liked in photoshop...but lightroom makes it easy for me to be lazy and get good results.

Winnipeg Beach

So, more work at sunrise.  After hiking along the beach we ventured a little off the beaten path and found a couple shots

Birds Hill Shoots

So I finally got through all my shots from shoot week, and along with that came the shots from the voluntary shoots up at Birds Hill.  Here are a couple from each shoot

And the dog races... I loved this event, there were some beautiful dogs out there:

More shots to come later in the week after I make a trip out to Gimli

Meet Spudnik

Gimli!

So me and Scott hit Gimli/Lake Winnipeg for sunrise yesterday, was definitely worth the 4:30 wake up call!

Here's the 2 HDR's I've processed so far..

More to follow as I go through the 600 odd shots I took

Poor little guy...

So, while watching a movie at home tonight I heard a thump against a window, so I get up and try to find out what it was.  Turn on the lights, open the back door and this little guy is sitting there.

He stuck around for a little bit so I clicked off a couple shots.

Don't worry, he was fine, he flew off shortly after the last shot
