Johnson and Cook II
Another rainy shot from the corner of Johnson and Cook Streets across the street from the first in this series – lots of rectangles in the 40- or 50-year-old building as well. Posting this seems a bit like blogging suicide as the first post in this series received lukewarm interest, but its my blog so I guess I can do what I want!

Time Lapse Storm Drain
With Graduated ND Filter
Another attempt at timelapse photography, this one trying to implement lessons learned from earlier experiments. In this case, the main effort was to try to get lots done in camera to reduce computer processing time as much as possible. I made a number of camera settings for sharpness, contrast, saturation and similar. More important was the use of a graduated neutral density filter (ND8), in this case rotated to the left to tone down the brightest area of the sky and water and avoid the need for masking or graduated filters in Lightroom. I shot the images at a lower resolution (3861 x 2574 pixels). I cleaned the sensor (as best I could) and shot with a lower depth of field so that sensor dust does not show so clearly. I levelled the camera with a bubble level and kept my hands off the camera. Soon I got a bit bored, lovely as it was to be on the beach on a day like this, so I took to tossing a single beach pebble onto the drain between each frame.

Johnson and Cook
Yesterday I went to take some pictures in the rain. Not because I planned it that way, but because there was a sign I had been meaning to photograph for the amusement of Melinda Green Harvey and thought I had better do so while I remembered. I ended up poking around the corner of Johnson and Cook Streets where the sign was and took quite a few photos. Today is all about a new building rising on the site of what has been a parking lot for a long time.

Drain Clouds III
I was rummaging in my archives and found this shot of the Ross Bay storm drain which I had not fully appreciated when I passed over it the first time a few weeks ago. I like the way there are several lines in the drain and the clouds that lead to that white speck (boat?) on the horizon.
