Those of you that know me know that I am not usually one to get up in arms about most animal rights issues. Nonetheless, I just came across what may be the most disturbing picture of the cruelty innocent puppies are subjected to in Asia:
Just for fun I tried making a few images with the IR camera during the kick-off of the Red Chair Project. Here are some of the results (which I am quite pleased with; I'll be doing more of these).
After months of dust building up from the Shangri-La construction next door, the exterior windows are finally being cleaned at work. I've been waiting for this.
I was up early this morning to catch the light while it was still coming from the east to experiment with the neutral density filters I bought the other day. A neutral density filter is like sunglasses for your camera. They cut down the amount of light getting through without affecting colour, allowing - as you see here - longer exposures in bright light. These shots, and some others I will put in a separate post later, are basically tests for some "wilderness" shots (which I'll probably do at Lynn Creek or somewhere else in North Van) I need to shoot for a client next week.
Behind the cut you'll find a more-or-less 1:1 comparison with and without the filters:
