Must Get Creative.

I was really having trouble deciding a post title. Balls.
I'm really trying hard to be witty and grammatically correct. Which is proving to be difficult.

Here we go.
There are several memorable experiences in my twenty five years on this rock. When asked (and i've been asked) what is your most memorable experience? I usually,well up until 2009 would say something cheesy pertaining to a particular Christmas morning or something. Then I went to Norway.
I did a summer working on an ocean liner called The Queen Mary 2, a truly beautiful ship which brought me to some very fantastic places. I met amazing people and had wicked times with them, one night in particular didn't end. I pulled an all nighter virtually binge drinking till about five in the morning. Before breakfast the captain came over the PA to let anyone awake know that we were sailing into the Norwegian Fjords. Me and my friends went up to the top deck, me armed with my camera and still drunk while feeling the effects of a hangover and severe jet leg emerged to what you see in the photo below. An almost eerie foggy sunrise, this created the almost yellow/brown haze you see in the clouds. The water is this shade of  green that you will not see anywhere else on the planet.

This picture is my personal favourite from all of Norway. Hopefully you like it as well.



Blogger Virginity - Shattered

I've taken the leap. I'm blogging.....
This all seems very technical and border line confusing, I'm going to just play this all fast and loose and see how it all shakes out. 


I'm going to attempt to post some of my images to this blog. Ideally one or two weekly and then give you an idea of what was going thru my head when I took the image. 


I'm quite happy with just myself and my camera.. and maybe a tripod. The below image is of the lions gate bridge from the Stanley Park side. It was a cold clear night when I took this, I can't really remember the exact exposure details down to aperture, although this was a near 30second exposure. My two favourite things about this picture are the way the bridge's lights sort of beam into the sky. The second is the way the small pool of water in the bottom right corner reflects the light. Hundreds of photographers take this exact picture. This one is mine, and there for my favourite.
