DDR

My friend Danny at a Christmas party this week.

Thursday, December 30, 2010

I've got the technical issues resolved and they shouldn't happen again. Hopefully.

In celebration, and to make up for missing a few days there, a double post-day!

This is our teapot. It is lovely. We got it at Village des Valeurs for three dollars.

DJ Hero Too

Keith got DJ Hero 2 for Christmas, and word is he hasn't stopped playing it yet.

I have been having some problems with the site I use to host my pictures as of late. I think I've got it sorted out, but it looks like the archives all have to be recoded. It's a pain in the butt, but I'll get on it and have them back up soon. I'm also working to help prevent it from happening again.

Taken in Laval on Christmas Day, this was hanging from my mother's roof.

Lunchbox

I took a few day off for the holidays. But I'm back now.

I got this for Risa as a gift and a gift box. It's cool.

3 Lights

I have been playing around with photoshop a little more, lately. This was shot with my new 70-210 f4 lens, the first day I took it out for a spin.

Breakfast Face

She said I was mean for taking a photo of her over breakfast, and my camera was still set to be shooting outdoors, but I think this is a very nice and subtle portrait.

Winter Blues

Got some new lenses last week. This was the first photo walk using the new 70-210mm f4.

Wave

Taken in December in Montreal. Some photoshop colour work, but otherwise unaltered.

Smoke Shovel

Taken in December in Montreal. Just a quick snapshot with some colour adjustments in photoshop.

Snow Sign

I took this one last weekend, and I really like the way it came out. I think it's one of my better shots in the last month. A little photoshop on this one, to play with the lighting and colours, but that's it.

Zoom

I brought my camera to a party this weekend, but forgot my memory card in the card reader at home. As such, you get another picture of our Christmas tree.

Unplowed

In Montreal, after the first big snowstorm of the season.

Snowy Bike Path

Took this one this morning. It is cold and gray outside.

Oh Christmas Tree

Got the tree up last night. Decided to take a few fun shots at it. Loved how it came out.

NDG Colossus

NDG in Montreal has a few of these huge apartment buildings that just stick out from the rest of the skyline.

Berry Much

A little shot from the Lake George trip in October.

Oil Sticks Slicks

Look at the things around your house close up. See what looks interesting.

Friday, December 3, 2010

Eye Spy

I like the post processing I managed on this one. I was going for a vintage-y feel, inspired by the blue light of the computer monitor.

Thursday, December 2, 2010

Leaf Decor

I read somewhere that it was a good idea to walk around your house and try and find subjects there. These are on the wall at the end of the hallway.

Dessert and Mosaic

Dessert bowls on the newly covered coffee table.

Das Foot

This was a homework assignment on depth of field. I thought it was a fun shot.

Seat Spectrum

The Montreal Metro System is full of cool things to shoot, but I'm pretty used to seeing it day in and day out. This is from the Villa Maria station. Taken in November.

Saturday, November 27, 2010

Expressway

Got my shutter speed all messed up without realizing it. This is the Decarie Expressway in November.

Friday, November 26, 2010

Bus Stop

The last days of fall in Hampstead. I was trying to get some colour in the background on this shot. I thinks it's at least a little interesting.

Thursday, November 25, 2010

Mall Lights

The Christmas lights are up in the malls. In colour, this looked a little messy, but once I converted it to B&W, it took on a surreal quality that I like. Taken in Place Alexis Nihon in November.

Small Hat and Bag

Taken on Monkland in November. I have a very tough time with street photography, and it's something I am hoping I can get better at.

I Think He's a Plant

What? That's no ordinary plant. It's annually adorned. With Bacon.

One Step Too Far

They had my girlfriend and I over for breakfast. She did not stab him. At least, not while we were there. That may have happened later. I cannot confirm at this time.

Mirror Puppy

Didn't notice the puppy until I got home and looked at the picture full size.

Fuzzy

Building on the corner of Guy and Pine.

Betty Brite

Another snap from a November photo walk. I like the grimy mess on a cleaning establishment's sign.Living in the city is dirty, no matter what.

Tuesday, November 16, 2010

Hit The Wall

Not much to say here, just a quick snap from a photo walk yesterday. I like the textures in the shot.

Where Ya From?

Taken in November on Sherbrooke Street West, my old stompin' grounds.

Saturday, November 13, 2010

Red Bricks

It sort of reminds me of Donkey Kong. There wasn't much colour in this shot aside from red, but when I removed everything but the red, it really popped.

Friday, November 12, 2010

One Of Us

It's hard to take pictures of myself, but this one came out pretty well. The weird angle works, I think. This is in October in Lake George, NY.

Thursday, November 11, 2010

Stop It! Gah!

Coming along on a photo walk means I will take your picture. Probably a few times.

Taken in November in Montreal.

November Yellow

I had been trying to look for colour matches while on a photo walk, and I spotted the balloons and the flowers. I lined up my shot, and this guy holding a yellow bag cut through the frame.

Tuesday, November 9, 2010

Time To Go Home

Just a quick snapshot. I shot this one in black and white rather than using Photoshop to convert it later. This was taken sometime in October in my living room.

Monday, November 8, 2010

Kiss Kiss, Get Off!

Took this one the first weekend in October in Lake George NY. That was a pretty good trip for photography. The light was very good all weekend long.

Sunday, November 7, 2010

Park Place

Took this earlier today in Girouard park. The weather is only now starting to turn cold, so there were still lots of leaves on the trees.

Sundown Guy

November 1 in downtown Montreal.
