Week 36

Click to Enlarge

I've shot this church in River Canard before but I found myself there after sunset the other night so I figured I'd shoot some more. This photo has a bit of photoshop done to it (hdr toning in cs5). However the original isnt that much different. I was going to post the regular version but my trial version of CS5 litterally just expired so I can't do anything else tonight.

(Edit: I got photoshop to work again, here is the same photo, straight-out-the-camera.)

I had the weekend off so I took off Saturday morning down Highway 3. I didn't get many good photos though. There wasn't a single cloud the whole time, which makes for some boring photos. But I saw this house along Hwy 3 on my first day and thought I'd save it for the way back. I shot these this morning on my way home.

I was really interested in this house, it looks like it was quite fancy in its day. It also looks like its been empty for a very long time. I actually saw a lot of abandoned houses along the way but this one really stood out.

Week 35

I got a little lucky the other night driving around looking for photos to shoot. I happened to catch a little lightning and a train. I still haven't got any crazy lightning photos but I think they're getting better. The first photo is a train that I barely caught. I parked to shoot photos of some cows next to the tracks but as soon as I got out of the car I heard the train horn, so I set up in 5 seconds and fired this one off. I would have been better if I had some time to prepare. But I'm still happy with it.

Week 34

I think this is my first time being late with my photo of the week. I've had them done for a few days now. I worked late yesterday, then had to go straight to the race track. My dad raced the first heat for me. (races start at 6 and I had to work until 6:30). I had a headache all day but I hoped once I got a race in I'd feel better, but it only made me feel much worse. I had to let my dad race the final heat and I went home violently ill.

After hosing vomit off the side of my car I passed out at about 7:30 and slept right through till 8am. Then I had to work at 9 today.

Anyway, enough of my complaining. Both of these photos were shot on the same night, driving aimlessly around the county, ending up in Amherstburg. The second is this week's manditory panorama. It's alright, but I feel like theres something missing.

That is all.

Week 33

I didn't shoot much this week. I used my time wisely to catch up on some editing instead. These shoots are from Friday night at St. Rose park here in Windsor.

Both photos are essensially the same, in a way. The first is the tight version, and the second is the mandatory panoramic. Anyway, thats all I have the energy for tonight.

Week 32 - Random Aimless Road Trip


As usual I'm posting these photos quickly and I don't have a lot of time to tell a story here. I had the long weekend off so after work on Friday I skipped town with no fixed destination. I avoided the tourist areas because I knew I wouldn't be able to find a place to stay.

The first two photos are panorama's from random side roads. The last is of Eugenia Falls south of Collingwood. I've been here before but never got any good shots of it. I tried going there the last trip I was on a few months ago, But couldn't seem to find it, so I moved on.




Anyway, thats about all I have for this week...hoping my next road trip is longer than a few days.

Week 31

At least twice a year all us BMX'ers in Windsor and the surrounding area gather at the Skate Park in Forest Glade for what we call a Bike Jam. This one was supposed to be on Saturday but because of bad weather it was pushed back to Sunday. I had to work so I got there late.

By the time I was there most of the crazy tricks already went down so I only shot a few photos, including this panoramic during sunset. Its not the best angle of the park but I wanted to get the setting sun in the shot.

The other two photos this week are from my random evening journeys around the county. Enjoy.

Week 30


Every year my friend Kevin has a party out in the county. Usually its in St. Joachim at his parents place, but this year he had his own house to throw it at, in Stoney Point. Check out the photos from last year's Kevstock. This weeks photo is a panoramic from the middle of the front yard. Usually there are a lot more people, but this year was a little light. Even I had to leave early thanks to work in the morning, but otherwise I would have went all night like I usually do at Kevstock.

I shot a lot of photos this week, but as usual I have no time to work on them. So these are just the couple I had edited already. This second shot is out around Leamington somewhere just as a storm was blowing in.
