HTC One X

Anyone else have any last minute entries? (It's okay to be late by a few days too) :)

Here, you can really see the limited dynamic range of the cell phone's tiny camera sensor.

Warren Working Carnaval 2014

Nikon d800e, Nikon 70-200mm f2.8

Ft. Ross State Park

The only Russian Colony in the lower 48 States circa 1812 to 1842.

A group of Russian Americans in costumes were staying the night and using the food and cooking techniques that the original settlers utilized. 

Leica M240, 50mm summicron.

Dan

Sonoma Coast

Nikon 70-200m f2.8 on Nikon d800e, I thought we included landscapes using telephotos, but maybe I am off base.  Anyway here are a couple.  I kind of like the colonial feeling in the first with the church and the cannon. 

Dan

Sea Lions

Was up to the Sonoma Coast and came upon this Sea Lion colony. 

Nikon D800e, Nikon 70-200 f2.8 with 2x extender.

Award Winning Form

Lumix GF1, Lumix 14-45mm

I met up with Dan to shoot the pre-parade scene at Carnaval. BTW, I also ran into Lena there, so there were at least 3 of us shooting yesterday. :)

I look forward to seeing our different visions of the same event. I think this is what makes participating in a group like this especially fun and interesting.

On the mountain

.. between the river and the trees.

I returned to some biking on a demo day in North Vancouver with Tyler and my brother (who was in one of my "forced perspective" photos.. walking across the Burrard Bridge). Thought I'd try a wide angle portrait for the project this month while I was there!

Practicing Photographer

Lumix LX5 @ 24mm

This is "Kirk". He was practicing in the field with his newly acquired Canon 100-400mm zoom. He will be going to Tanzania on a photo safari, as well as climb to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. He showed me a picture on his iPhone that he took of a tiger in India, and he told me a great story of how he got that picture.  I took the opportunity to do a combination project picture :).

Continuing to post shots from Stow Lake, turtles sunning on a log. Turtle's Life: sunning, eating, swimming, sleeping, I'd like to do that.

Pacific Coast Cyclists from Finland

My cousin introduced me to this pair of cyclists on Facebook before they arrived in Vancouver over the weekend. They are biking from Vancouver, Canada, to Buenos Aires, Argentina, along the Pacific Coast this year. Miina is a meteorologist and weather forecaster and Otto is an engineer of fire sprinkler systems on ships. They decided two years ago that they would do this trip and are planning on taking one year to complete.. Bus, ferry, and train may or may not become a part of the journey.. Either way, I'm sure it will be interesting for them! This shot was taken on Monday after riding around the city for a couple of hours. I took them through Stanley Park and to Granville Island. This morning they jumped in for a (very) quick swim in the chilly ocean to wake up before heading out for their next destination.

Warren, they'll be in San Francisco in about a month if you care to show them around your city by bicycle!

Choices

I am entering a piece in a show this week and have come down to these two images.  I think I know which one to use, but comments are welcome from all.  The first one I am calling 'The Game' and the second is called 'Memories'
