Winter Hoodoos

December 9, 2009

The big snowstorm that hit Edmon­ton on Decem­ber 4th and 5th was accom­pan­ied by rather high winds, which depos­ited and sculp­ted the snow­drifts in my yard. Inter­est­ing shapes resulted.

Small steps, small cups

Since this is Blog Action Day, I thought I’d take a look at how I per­ceive my morn­ing routine is impact­ing cli­mate change — no real hard sci­ence here, but just my ped­es­trian per­spect­ive on  my poten­tial impact on the planet.My think­ing may be wrong-headed in places (please let me know) but this post is […]

It’s been said that the best cam­era is the one you have with you — heck it’s even the title of a book on iPhone pho­to­graphy.

Light streaks in heavy ice fog on a very cold winter night

December 22, 2008

After a great Fri­day even­ing with our good friends, we returned home to find this incred­ible ice fog over the city.
The fog caught the uber-bright lights from a local RV deal­er­ship, cre­at­ing this rather nifty light­ing effect.

Alberta Legislature Ice Sculpture

December 16, 2008

We went to the Alberta Legis­lature last Thursday to listen to A Joy­ful Noise choir — Tess sings in it.
The night was warm and we parked at the other end of the Leg. The Christ­mas lights were in all the trees, and in the centre foun­tain was this very neat (and col­our­fully lit) ice sculpture.

Two resources for planning your lunar photography evening

A friend poin­ted me to this BBC art­icle about tonight’s full moon. It seems that tonight’s full moon event will occur when the Moon is the closest it’s been to the earth (dur­ing a full moon) in 15 years.
Well, methinks. A per­fect time to get out the pho­to­graphy and tele­scopy equip­ment and cap­ture this event.
But wait. This […]
