Mosaics

I have been working on these for this week's DPS 'weekly assignment'. Here are a couple practice mosaics.

Photos from the Lochside Trail Ride

Post Production

I've found a nice new forum: http://digital-photography-school.com/forum/index.php where I've been getting a lot of inspiration and many useful photo tips as well. I hope you'll see some improvements to my photos in the weeks and months to come. To kick things off I'll add a couple of recent shots that I did a little post-production work on, well, actually, I just played around with cropping for starters.

The first is a resized version of a self timer shot I took along new cycle path on the south side of False Creek seawall. The oversized white lounge chairs with their side tables were pretty funny and had Jamie and I sharing a laugh.

The second picture is a reflection in a big ground floor office window that I pass on my ride around the north side of the seawall in Yaletown. I like the effect the glass gives to the photo.

A few detail shots.

Out for a ride with Jim.

New Camera!

I've upgraded to a Canon A720. The camera offers me 8 megapixels and 6 x zoom as well as little more control over the settings.
