Northern Voice 2010 Colour Management Presentation
Thanks to everyone who attended PhotoCamp this year, and I hope I made sense up there ;). Here is a Keynote file of my presentation during Photocamp today at Northern Voice. Feel free to download for further information on calibration, tools and tips. ColourManagement-NorthernVoice2010
12×12 @ The Lookout
Not only was I lucky enough to participate in last December’s 12×12 Vancouver Photo Marathon, I was even more fortunate to be included in the gallery showing at the Lookout in Vancouver. Thanks again for a great experience, and see you next 12/12! PS Apparently all of the images are being displayed at all Blenz [...]
Manning Park 2010
Wow, 2010. OK it’s been far too long since I’ve posted here, but I’m throwing a quick one in as a hook to the photos that I took at Manning Park this weekend. Follow this link to get to the collection. I’ll be back, really. I just need a few more spare hours ;).
Autumn in Yosemite
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Yosemite to take part in a small photography workshop and had a great time, meeting many people and (of course) seeing amazing sights. Dave Wyman and Ken Rockwell were the hosts, providing instruction and locations over a 3 day period. This was my first “official” workshop, having done [...]
Blues Festival Photos Published
I am pleased to say that 6 of my photos from this year’s Pender Harbour Blues Festival were published in the local papers last week. Two in The Local, four in the Coast Reporter. Great to see, especially the Coast Reporter article which appeared on the front page of their Arts & Entertainment section. In [...]
SmugMug Gallery Now Online
I’m happy to say I have finally launched an online photo gallery on SmugMug. Hats off to Duane for doing a lot of research (presented at Northern Voice ’08) and recommending this site. Thankfully I was able to use him as a referral which I think benefited both of us. SmugMug is a site dedicated [...]
The Upgrade
Finally took the leap, although it didn’t take much convincing. Picked up a Nikon D300 on the weekend and have been spending as much time with it as possible ever since. There are many reviews out there, but the general feeling is that this camera is amazing. From what I know and have seen [...]
Northern Voice ’08 Begins
I will join the no doubt dozens of others that will be blogging about this event. Being my first one, however, perhaps I’ll have a slightly different perspective. Probably just the perspective of wondering where to go and what to do next… Northern Voice 2008 is a “personal blogging and social media conference” held annually [...]
PicLens – Fullscreen Image Browser
Cooliris has created a really interesting image viewer add-on for your browser. PicLens is a full-screen viewer for multiple images, whether in slide-show format or in a “wall” of images that can be clicked, dragged, zoomed, etc.: It is available for various browsers, including IE, Firefox and Safari. I have tried the IE and Firefox [...]
New site
I’ve just created a new site called pocophotos.com. The idea with this site is to be a place (yet another) to view pictures about the Poco area. Right now John and I will be the main contributors, but I hope to grow that. Honestly, more of an exercise than a site but hey if you [...]
Home Again Home Again
After some horrendous traffic in Washington (flipped semi near Centralia, rush hour in Tacoma and construction in Seattle) we finally got home after driving about 10.5 hours. Long day, but glad to have done it in one stretch and be back. One bright spot – News1130 said there was a 40 minute border lineup. There [...]
Canyonville, OR
Driving driving driving. Yup that was about it today. Well, OK, small excitement in a brush fire at the side of the road just outside Grants Pass, OR. It was just about out by the time we got there, but that didn’t stop traffic from being backed up for miles. It also didn’t stop the [...]
Yosemite, CA
Yawn, still tired from the early rising but glad to have done it. Yosemite is an amazing place and thankfully all of the “elite” viewpoints are fairly close together, unlike Yellowstone. We managed to check out El Capitan, Half Dome, Cathedral Rocks, Sentinel Rocks and more – all within the one day. Started out a [...]
Yosemite, CA
Hit the road from Vegas in the morning and headed to Yosemite, CA (OK so maybe we hit a couple slots first, but I’m technically not admitting it). Drive was relatively uneventful other than some education. As I drive through each state I’m discovering certain tendencies from the local drivers. For example: – Idaho drivers [...]
Las Vegas, NV
When in Vegas, no wait, that’s not it… what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Lame expression, let’s post some pics instead: And how about a 7 storey, 1 block long parking lot dedicated just to staff parking: We walked around for most of the day, riding the monorail when we could and stopping to [...]
Las Vegas, NV
OK, so we did manage to stop at Grand Canyon again in the morning before heading out to Vegas. Nice morning light, thought we’d head out to Yaki Point, which is one of the more popular spots. Funny thing, though, you can only get there by shuttle bus. So rather than be pinned down by [...]
Yosemite, CA
OK, so we didn’t drop off the face of the earth – just off the Net. So now that I have the chance (on glorious dial-up) I thought I’d put in a quick post to update everyone on our trip. Sorry, no pics on this one but I’m going to edit everything hopefully tomorrow night [...]
Grand Canyon, AZ
Busy day today, starting with getting up to watch the sunrise at Bryce Point in Bryce Canyon. That was an adventure in and of itself, especially for a late-night guy like me. But we got there, about 10 minutes before the sun came up. The place was crowded, to say the least: But it turned [...]
Bryce Canyon
Spent 4-5 hours this morning heading to Bryce Canyon from Provo. Just before Bryce, however, we came across Red Canyon – amazing to see as well, more to follow on that. In order to check into our room for the night, we had to drive past the exit to Bryce Canyon and head into a [...]
Provo, UT
Greetings from the Beehive State (I kid you not). Mare and I saw the symbols on the highway signs and thought to ourselves “that can’t be a beehive, can it?”. Um, yup, it can be and it is. Learn something new every day. Day was all about driving, about 450 miles (OK fine 725km). Went [...]
Yellowstone Park
A full day at the park today, with lots to see. We tried to hit all of the major attractions, but the park is 2,219,789 acres in size, so let’s just say we maybe saw less than half of the park, and only the really important parts. Started the day at Mammoth Hot Springs, which [...]
Craters of the Moon and Gardiner, MT
Double hit today, stopping by Craters of the Moon National Monument on the way to Yellowstone. Fairly short drive from Twin Falls, which was good because we (I say we but mean Marilyn) slept in a bit. But that was fine, allowed the camera store to be open so I could pick up a 77mm [...]
Twin Falls, ID
Made the trip from Enterprise, OR today. Original plan was to go through Hell’s Canyon (in the daytime this time) and go to the Overlook point to take some pics. It was closed, however, due to the fact that it was basically on fire. Not sure if the area was actually still on fire or [...]
