I took this shot while on a grade 7 camping trip to Newcastle Island,

which is just off Nanaimo, BC. Thanks for any comments.

Nicely composed shot, Nicki.  I love the B&W conversion as well.  Good lighting and exposure really make this shot sing.

I was curious what you thought of this version over the coloured

version. Let me know what you think.

I took a number of shots of this one particular sandstone quarry on

Newcastle Island. What do you think?

Love the perspective of this shot, David.  Great composition, and the exposure is really nice.

These guys were all over the place while in Mexico. This was taken

near the pool area of the resort in our favorite little town, Rincon

de Guayabitos.

I took this shot of my wife, Mary, while we were in Fort Langley,

having afternoon tea. Please let me know what you think.

Thanks Niki.

These sails have always intrigued me. I was happy to have the clouds

in the background as they provided a textural contrast to the sails.

I felt B&W was appropriate because there was very little colour in the

shot to begin with. What do you think?

A shot while in Kauai. We caught this opportunity as we were leaving

the canyon because the clouds were coming in. I just happened to look

to the right and catch the "white streak" (the waterfall) and talked

my friend into turning back to check it out. Please let me know what

you think.

Hi a n.  I used my Sigma 18-50 2.8 DC EX Macro.

Beautiful shot!  I love the lighting, and the way the eye is in shadow, but that the catchlight provides the focal point.  The make-up and hair are also very well done.  I love it.

I found a nostalgic kind of humour in this shot. It reminded me of

the days when my brothers and I would rig up all sorts of challenges

when we were kids! This was taken one fall morning near the South

Surrey bike park. Let me know what you think?

One of my first portraits. It was the result of a "natural light"

monthly theme our club had. Please let me know what you think. Thanks.

A front over the north end of the Big Island. I liked that you could

see the heavy rain below the clouds, and the blue sky above. Let me

know what you think.

I took this shot in the Kitsilano area, when the children's festival

was happening. My friend's wife spotted this, and i could not resist

taking a few frames. I had to shoot over a fairly high chain-link

fence so it is not as clean as I would have liked. Someone had

obviously played with some og the letters in this sign!

Thanks an.  I am sort of torn between these two versions.  I love this one, but the colour version is also striking in different ways.  Glad you liked the explanation, too!  Cheers, mate.

I love this shot, a n.  I had to look twice to figure it out, which is a good quality in an image for me.  You really have the knack for macro work, and this image really highlights that.  I would hang this on my wall any day.

I like the monotone feel, and the composition of this shot, an.  The fence and path provide  nice leading lines into the shot, and the composition is very pleasing to the eye.  Thanks for sharing this one!

I was at a beach about ten minutes north of the resort we were staying

in Kauai. It was our last day in Hawaii, and I had been wanting to

get a few surfing shots. Well, this was the one day the surf was up

enough to get a significant number of surfers at this beach. I liked

the dynamics in this shot, and how the rooster tail shot out behind

this guy. Let me know what you think. Cheers.

I took this shot in Stanley Park, BC. I noticed this couple, and

followed the girls seemingly distance from her boyfriend at times.

She would be on her cell phone, watching passer-bys etc. Her

boyfriend seemed oblivious to this, and very content to have his head

on her lap. I thought about trying a different angle, but I did not

want to let on that I was shooting them as I notice people act

differently when they know someone is taking a photo of them.

A shot I took in New Westminster, BC. I liked the colour contrast

between the shopping cart items, and the rest of the scene. I also

felt that the shape of the cart was echoed by the window, and that the

torn tar paper was sort of symbolic of someone's life gone astray.

Thanks for stopping by.

I like this portrait.  The body position countered by the girl staring up at almost a 90 degree angle to the body has impact.  The expression is priceless, as well, and the slight tension in both hands leads one to wonder what she is looking at.  Nice shot!

I love the perspective of this shot, Axel.  When looking at the thumbnail I thought it was a shot looking up in a downtown area where there were high rise buildings.  This may be a nice B&W as well.  There are such subtle light shifts in the shadow areas.  Congrats.
