Well, I’m gonna miss this day too. Not feeling so hot tonight and it was just me and the two little ones. So kinda burned out and going to bed soon!

Worked my 9-5 yesterday, then worked my 5-9 shift at home. Went out for coffee with Lindsey Ryder of Ryder Photo. Always great to catch up with fellow photographers.

On the rocks
Got home in time to enjoy some day light. The creek was almost completely frozen over except for a few spots where some fast water was.
Each time I had to move the ring around, I’d move my camera back to the shore, then put it back on the ice and recompose the shot. Got myself a little wet kneeling down on the ice, but didn’t (knock on wood) get anything soaked.
I think I might need to get a neutral density filter. I never thought I’d need one, but I shot at 100 ISO, and had the aperture at f/40.0, just to try and get a slow shutter speed.

Ring shot – Guest book
Another idea for a ring shot tonight. Bounced my flash off a gold piece of bristle board to enhance the color.

Junior Fire Chief – Hayden
He loves his little fireman’s hat. Every night he plays with it for hours. There are all kinds of holes in it now from where he chews through it. We bought him this new sleeper as well, so I had to grab a few shots with him in it and with his favourite hat.
This one also goes out to John Piercy in the HFG! Cheers brother!

Ansel Adams – A few gems
Found these gems at the Reuse Centre in Burlington. Cost $1.00 a piece. Sometimes you just get lucky!
There’s just something about old photography books that I love!

Wine Glasses 2
Tried a few angles on this shot. I liked the way the glasses at the back almost look like they’re tipping towards the camera.
Used a Polarizing Filter on my 50mm 1.8 tonight. It reduced the glare in each glass allowing you to see through each one better. I would have liked to try this with the other shot from a few nights ago now!!

A flower for family day
Spent the day with my family, then the afternoon took everyone over to my parents place. My mom has had this plant since Christmas. It wasn’t suppose to last more than a few weeks.

Rambo Creek
Got sick and tired of shooting inside, so I took a little walk while the kids were having their nap. Found this awesome looking ice pattern near a dip in the creek.

Mesa Engineering
My second Mesa Boogie amp. I had an F-50 and it was great. But I’ve always wanted a rectifier. So I upgraded. You can’t go wrong with a Mesa!
