True North
I thought today would be the perfect day for me to go out and try and take some snowy-snowflake photos!
WRONG! I can’t shoot for shit – it was just this side of too dark in Ottawa so, though I pumped my ISO, I started to drop my aperture creating too shallow a dof for me to be able to hand-hold reliably [think: wobbly drunkard with a 100mm lens as a beer-bottle]
So yeah, I got some photos of snowflakes, but they ain’t pretty; and you, dear readers, only get the best! (mostly, usually).
Tomorrow’s supposed to be something like -36 with the wind chill so IF I go out, I likely won’t have my camera with me.
*sigh* live and learn.
Thai
Did you know I went to Thailand once, for almost a month? True story.
Catching Up
I promised Barb that I’d actually take some photos this weekend as long as she would (she just got herself a Canon Rebel XSI and was put off by all the snow). So I said we’d both buck-up and head on outside, catching up on photography time lost during the shorter winter days.
Here’s mine Barb (plus I’ve got one for EVERY DAY THIS WEEK) – boo yah!
It feels like day 100 in the Ottawa Transit Strike, personally I don’t care too much, though it does make getting groceries troublesome. When I lived in Toronto there was no way the TTC would be gone this long. OC Transpo? More like No-See Transpo! [note, I didn’t come up with that pun alone]
Baby Come Back
I “get” snowblowers. Snow is heavy and sucks to shovel and snowblowers deal with it efficiently and effectively. It’s leaf-blowers that I am at odds with – they just blow the leaves somewhere else, just as easily as the wind, in fact they are wind – gas powered wind – which I think is kinda dumb.
I mentioned yesterday that I’d try to take photos again today during the day, which, if you count me carrying my camera around with me to work, counts, than I did. In reality though, I did not take a single image today, and am unlikely to do so this weekend because I’m prepping for the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation’s Telethon of Hope. Keep in mind if you hit the link, that I did not come up with the tagline “Hope worth Watching” and that I too, could easily type an “it’s” in there somewhere.
I’ll say it now – you don’t have to watch – but if you live in Ottawa, and you give a shit about cancer care in this region, then you do have to donate.
