ONE THOUSAND, FOUR HUNDRED AND FORTY MOMENTS

Clouds

Ken — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 10:47:46 +0000

Mother Nature treated us to the full show early this morning. Almost constant thunder and lightning for a few hours foretelling some very hot and sticky weather to come. Once the storm passed we were left with some interesting clouds.

The last time I saw clouds like this was in Dallas years ago as [...]

A busy summer

Ken — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 13:24:55 +0000

Time to dust off this site, grab the cameras and hit the airshow circuit.

Right now, I’m planning on attending the following events:

Canadian Warplane Heritage – June 18 & 19 – Hamilton Ontario

Great Lakes International Air show – June 25 & 26 – St. Thomas Ontario

Geneseo Airshow – July 9 & [...]

I’m back

Ken — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 15:42:47 +0000

It’s been a long time since I posted anything here and, with a day off, I guess it’s time to start again.

I’m not usually on the other end of a camera but this picture is special. The gentleman on the right is Dr. James Floyd, a [...]

Horseshoe Bay

Ken — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 21:41:11 +0000

Spending the long weekend in Vancouver in the middle of a business trip. If nothing else, it gives me an opportunity to visit all the old sights that I remember from when I lived here about 35 years ago.

Horseshoe Bay is one of the main ferry terminals to Gulf islands and Vancouver Island. [...]

Vacation time

Ken — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 21:00:10 +0000

We’re just starting a week of vacation. Looks like it will be a busy one! Tomorrow morning (Tuesday), I go for my Class 3 medical which I need for my student pilot’s license and Thursday I’m writing my PSTAR exam.

In between, we’re off to one of our favourite spots – St. Jacob’s [...]

Did you miss me?

Ken — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 00:06:02 +0000

Haven’t posted much lately. Haven’t even had the camera out of the bag for a while.

If you read my other blog, you’ll know that I’m concentrating on training for my Private Pilot’s License. Very intense with a combination of ground school and in the air instruction. Once I feel a little more comfortable at [...]

Some pictures get around

Ken — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 19:50:26 +0000

About a year ago, I was contacted to see if a picture I took at Niagara Falls could be used on a website called SCHMAP. As the photo was published under a Creative Commons license and they were going to attribute it, I said sure.

Got an email this week that it was now being [...]

Canada Day 2008

Ken — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 17:10:14 +0000

A young Canadian celebrates our 141st birthday at Chingacousy Park in Brampton. Despite my patience, he steadfastly refused to jump and dance as he did before I pointed the camera his way.

Canada celebrates its 141st birthday today with events everywhere. Although we’re known as an understated country, we do pull out all the [...]

Sunday pick

Ken — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 23:18:52 +0000

Today’s pick is the result of a happy accident. I was watching a tutorial over at Photojojo which involves using Selective Colour Range in Photoshop. The idea is to use the selection to level the brightness and contrast.

Instead of the intended result, I got this. A shot of a Cessna Crane in storage [...]

lightbox test

Just another test
