I took this shot last weekend while down on Fonyo beach in Victoria with Meg and my parents. I liked the log and the monochome-ness of the shot - It came out remarkably sharp which only intensified this feel. Just kind of a neat shot - and straight out of the camera.

I stitched 5 vertical photos together with ArcSoft's Panorama Maker 4 Pro. My pilot friend and I flew out to Port Alberni last week and stopped in at the Mars Water Bomber site. These are the largest water bombers in the world - built in the 1940's and there are 4 left - two of which were in Port Alberni. This one was on the dock, the other in the water. Look at the semi in the shot for a sense of scale. Neat thing to go and see.

And last but not least, an adult male kestrel my friends and I trapped in Merritt BC this last weekend. We have permits to take a juvenile for use in falconry but can't tell the age until they are in the hand. This little guy was an adult so we took some pictures and let him loose. Stunning little guy. This shot is also straight out of the camera.
