2013 06 June 23 02a IR Summer Sunrise 02a nn1
Vancouver's West End and English Bay in the Infra Red light of a new summer morning.
With clouds like these I'm expecting an unsettled day weather wise.

2012 07 July 04 Whistler 21a nn1.jpg
Thanks to yet another empty chairlift sighting he could tell that his companions finally shared his worry in earnest.
People went up ...
But they did not appear to come back.
uh oh ....

2012 07 Jul 04 Whistler 11a nn0
The peak lift run at Whistler/Blackcomb. Whistler side. July 04 2012.
A wasteland of ancient snow, tundra and freezing tourists.
What's not to like?
2012 06 June 29 Sirrus 01a.jpg
Sirrus, one of my two cats, loves scratch pads. Of which there are four in this shot. The big expensive ones.
She has trained me well.
2011 08 Aug 16 Eng Bay IR HDR 01a nn2
Vancouver's Inukshuk, made famous during the 2010 Winter Olympics, warms in the infra red light of a mid August afternoon circa 2011.
Goofy looking person in a Speedo bathing suit (lower right corner) included at no additional charge.

2013 06 June 14 Eng Bay Wispy Sunset 06a
Vancouver's Burrard Street Bridge looking very Disney in the setting sun.
2013 06 June 14 Eng Bay Wispy Sunset 05a nn2.jpg
This is called a "Light Pillar".
It's a natural super weather phenomena that, like Sun Dogs, is thanks to very high altitude stratospheric (10 to 50 km up) ice crystals.
Natural prisms doing good by bringing beauty. Very much a Moses moment.
2013 06 June 14 Eng Bay Wispy Sunset 04a nn0
I love this shot.
The very big picture.
Top right is the edge of my apartment building radically distorted by the fish eye lens effect due shooting at such a wide angle (10 mm). AND exaggerating the effect by shooting in portrait mode. Very cool. I love the clouds.

Armadillo Cloud. Head's on the left, tail's on the right.
The Sunshine Coast mountains must be on their migratory route or something. ;)

2013 06 12 Kits and Eng Bay IRHDR 01a nn1.jpg
I love the depth of field in this shot.
Every thing is in focus. That level of clarity is thanks to infra red light. Fuzzy comes from the scattering of blue light. A type of light that IR photography is blind to. Thus IR photography is blind to fuzzy.
God like clarity with awesome clouds. Nerdvana.
2013 05 May 25 Kitsilano IR Clouds 02a.jpg
I love the busy nature of this shot and of course, sigh, the clouds.
This is IRHDR. Infra Red High Dynamic Range. It's like black and white on steroids.
This image is a tone mapped composite of 3 previously shot images. The original 3 images were taken using a Nikon D80 modified by the wizards at Life Pixel to be IR sensitive.
I cleaned the composite up a bit but the real power of the shot was, as always, the moment. There's soooo much going on.
I should make it into a 1,000 piece puzzle.

2013 06 June 05 English Bay Sun Dogs 03a nn1.jpg
Detail on yesterday's Sun Dogs.
They, four if you are very luck, arrive with either a shift in weather systems or, in this case, a high pressure system bumping into another high pressure system.
2013 06 June 05 False Creek and West End 02
The roof of Vancouver's West End Aquatic Center provides an exact less in urban geometry.
2013 06 June 05 False Creek and West End 03a
Vancouver's West End mellows in the later afternoon spring sunshine.
2013 05 May 31 English Bay Sunset 01a
A late spring sunset casts a golden glow on English Bay Vancouver.

2013 06 Jun 05 Seawall iPod 016.jpg
English Bay Vancouver - as seen by my spiffy new iPod Touch. 5th gen no less. It has a nifty panorama mode that has added a significant upgrade to my photo options. Plus it's as thin as a cracker. I think I just found my perfect camera. And it shoots HD video.
This shot was taken at the rest point just north of Second Beach in Stanley Park.
2013 06 June 05 False Creek and West End 01.jpg
Just past the Burrard Street Bridge is the ... 'disputed zone'.
Not the West End, not Kitsilano, not Yaletown ... mostly just ... False Creek.
A lawless tidal pool basically. Home to pirates and pedestrian ferries.
