Thu, 04 Mar 2010 23:10:21 GMT

An older panoramic image composed from a bunch of photos taken through the windows of a travel agency in one of the office towers near Churchill Square (don't ask). This was assembled by the panorama software bundled with my Canon SLR, and certainly doesn't rise to the levels of quality I typically now demand in a panorama...That said, this panorama did have that "assembled from a pile of photos" look to it, more than any other image I ever put together with that software. And for that reason alone, it was a keeper...(Although it is interesting to note that when fed the same source images, Autopano cannot render the right third of the image. This has to do, I think, with the fact that I moved between shots.)

A shot I took of a horse race (or at least one rider therein), at Northlands Park. Some friends had invited me along for a kind of impromptu reunion/get-together, and that had been their chosen venue.

I'm no good at identifying flowers, but I grabbed a picture of this pretty little specimen on a warm evening at the end of August, 2006...This shot, and a few others taken along with it, first clued me in to just what the limits of the JPEG format were, which later prompted my move to RAW photography. You can see in the oranges and reds, if you look closely, just where the colours "burn out."

Another fiery sunrise, another great cloud pattern. There's a slight...swirl, I guess...to the clouds here that makes them quite visually appealing.

I don't quite remember where I captured this shot from, though it was obviously some place along Edmonton's River Valley. Basically, I just don't remember whether it was captured from within a building (or on a balcony), or from street level.

Yet another fine Edmonton sunrise. This one, however, also features the results of the application of a coloured graduated filter in Lightroom; I needed to make the sky look more blue, and adjusting saturation and hue just wasn't cutting it for me.

I must have squeezed the shutter by accident whilst taking pictures of a Rover Crew karaoke event, but the result was certainly worth keeping. I used to use this as a profile picture, actually...it's just so delightfully random.

A couple of propane tanks hidden where the seat of an old truck should have been. This was no accident, however; where the engine should have been one could find instead a massive grill.

Folding chairs are arranged around a computer monitor atop a table; this was the slideshow setup for a friend's wedding, and ultimately served to inspire how Grace and I set up the slideshow at our own wedding...Truth be told, I hate it when the slideshow is a "feature event" of a wedding dinner; I prefer it when it's just an unobtrusive side feature set up like this, either along one wall of the banquet hall or, as was possible in the Muttart Conservatory, in an area all its own.
