Photography

Photos I’ve taken of scenery, interesting objects and other things.

Kamloops 2023 gallery

Here are a few shots from the trip to Kamloops and Chase June 16-18, 2023, with a mix from my iPhone 12 and Canon EOS M50. Come for the starling, stay for the marmots.

A snail and a river

When Nic and I were at Colony Farm this past Saturday, the sky was dark and oppressive–but it didn’t rain! (That happened earlier, when we were at Piper Spit). As we walked along one of the trails, I spied a snail and thought, “How cute!” and took its picture. The phone version is below.

Later, we discovered there were a whole bunch of them, which makes seeing the first one less wondrous and delightful. But still cute!

Also, an example of what it looked like. Dark ‘n foreboding shot of the Coquitlam River:

My black and white photo oeuvre (so far)

Various photos I’ve taken and converted to black and white, typically by using a LUT in Pixelmator Photo.

A gray pipe on a sunny day

I saw this concrete pipe plunked down on the sand at Iona Beach on Saturday, and decided it was time for another addition to my black and white photo oeuvre1I used the High Contrast Blue Filter LUT in Pixelmator Photo to get the actual B&W effect. One day I’ll dip myself in black and white paint and do a gallery showing. In the meantime, enjoy!

(The full colour bird photos are coming soon™.)

More fun with liquids

Another top-down view of a glass of soda, this time shot on the kitchen counter with moody smart lighting.

I may be getting into abstract photography or something.

Photo quality reduced to 80% because WordPress was choking on it for reasons.

A few shots from Nitobe Memorial Garden

I went to a physiotherapy assessment at UBC today (more on that later) and afterwards Jeff and I ate lunch on a bench in the Nitobe Memorial Garden. It was sunny and warm, and the scenery was tranquil and beautiful as all get-out (sorry, I ain’t no poet).

A cute little waterfall:

And a pond near to our bench:
