Here are three shots taken on Christmas Eve.  The first is a quick six second exposure, and the second and third are about ten minutes a piece. I would of liked to snap a few more long exposures but the cold weather zapped my battery.

These were taken on the morning of boxing day of Christmas 2009. I rode our snowmobile out just before sunrise to a nice hill in a field by my grandparents farm, set up my camera on a tripod, and waited for the sun to peak over the horizon. These shots cost me my tripod, it was about -25 that morning and the little plastic pieces were not the least bit happy to be outside in that weather. Perhaps I can still fix it though…

I love riding my bike to work on foggy mornings, it just seems so much more peaceful.

Here are the rest of the shots from this weekend. I love the way they turned out! Now to clean everything up…

I’ve got some results from tonight, I think it turned out quite well. More tomorrow hopefully!

Now that school is done for the semester I can turn my attention to more exciting things… like high speed photography! I am in the process of building a setup that will allow me to perform the basic procedure of: trip a sensor -> delay -> fire a strobe. This will allow me to capture movements that cannot be seen by the human eye! Here are a couple of proof of concept images of the initial test setup. Hopefully later this weekend I will have the system tweaked to my liking, allowing me to create much higher calibre images.

It’s sad to see such an amazing event come to an end, I’m just glad I had the chance to experience it.

Tried something different and did some cross-processed velvia. I manadged to get a few that turned out O.K. but I think some of them may have been stronger if they were just processed normally. Oh well, thats the risk you take with doing cross processing.

Dan and I headed down to lethbridge for a day for some biking and picture taking, I think it turned out ok. Still waiting to get the rest of the film back from the trip.

I did some wedding portraits for Syd and Kristy A little while back. Overall I am pretty pleased with the results, their place had an awesome brick wall and concrete floor that made a great backdrop.
