Snowy Owls on a Snowy Day in Boundary Bay

Once every few years when the lemming population runs low in Northern Canada, as a result Snowy Owls make the trip South to Boundary Bay BC. 2012 is one of these years; there are hundreds of these majestic birds calling this home as we speak! The birds hang out in the flats where they are able to hunt with ease. There are also numerous other birds of prey species in the area such as eagles and hawks. If you are looking to head out and see the owls for yourself this is where you need to go .
The video and photos were made using a Canon 7D, Canon 300mm f4l and Canon 2x extender II.
Enjoy!
It isn’t an owl, but I also took this photo of a Northern Harrier in flight
This film keeps on expiring – another go with the Canon AE1 Program

It seems that once every 6 months or so I pull out my old Canon AE-1 Program 35mm film camera and think that it will be a great idea to take some shots with it. I shortly there-after put it away and forget about it until another 6 months have passed. At this pace it can take a couple years to actually see the results. I recently took a roll of Fuji 200 in to get developed and it turned out that there were a bunch of photos from the NHL playoffs last fall.
These are completely un-edited and were taken using a Canon AE-1 Program and a 50mm 1.8 lens.
Sunday Snow Cycling Shinanigans

I should be changing the name of the blog to “… Weekend photos say more than words” Seems that is about all I can manage these days. Today involved going for a ride on the North Shore and of course I brought along my camera to take a few shots. These are on the trail Expresso which (if I am not mistaken) is between the 5th and 6th switchback up Mt. Fromme. despite a few inches of snow on the trail it was a lot of fun. Plus, it was cold enough that the snow was relatively dry.
Great Sunday Ride!
Keeping busy in a (Vancouver) Winter Environment

Weather is subjective. A Vancouverite can only tolerate so much, while it is -40 in Alberta us west-coasters cringe at the dash rarely placed before a temperature. This weekend was one of those times where the mercury sunk below the zero mark and water became ice. Trying to venture outside the comfort zone of the average YVR local, Kelly and I went out for a couple hikes. One hike had tennis racket shoes (also known as snowshoes) while the other was slightly more traditional.
here are a few photos from the two different hikes. These shots come from Mt Seymour Provincial Park and Deer Lake Park in Burnaby BC.
Enjoy!
Keeping a Close Eye

in Photo of the Day
I went for a bike ride today and brought my camera along. The idea was to get a few shots and do an update to the blog about winter riding in Vancouver. That did not happen. It was pouring rain, snow was on the ground and everything was sopping wet. . . I took 3 photos or so which were all useless.
In the spirit of keeping the blog up to date though, I thought I would try something a little different. I have always like eye photography and with that spirit pushing me forward I tried taking some shots of my own right eye. This was totally worth it but I am still seeing spots from that damn flash. While this shot has been ‘shopped. the original photo had the following setup.
Canon 7D
Canon 100mm f2.8 Macro
Canon Speedlight 550EX (remote to left of camera)
F22, 1/250, ISO 250
