The Bottled Poet

Whimsical marketing strategy for a bottle recycling store … as one’s mind could easily change the words around without realizing.

Manhattan Bridge

This seemingly quiet little park is anything but. The constant ”sledgehammer on steel” banging of subway traffic on multiple rails makes ear plugs desirable.  

Grand Central Terminal

Even with low clouds and fog settling in, the “city that never sleeps” continues to move along even at three in the morning.

Macro Photo: Electronics

Sometimes a commercial style shot has some artistic appeal to in. In this instance, a super close macro shot of a tiny computer board.  

Bobsleigh- FIBT Federation

Founded almost 90 years ago in 1923, the ”Federation International Bobsleigh and Tobogganing” (FIBT) was born. It is a quitessential sport of the Winter Olympics.

Olympic Winter Blues

 

Wow. Calgary is getting some major “Spring-Time” snowfall! This pumps us up for next Snowboard season. I captured this a couple months ago just in case you are wondering. :)  Comments welcome!

Heavy Haulers

These heavy trucks were lined-up and running, and made for a good wide angle and polarizer filter photo opportunity. I was able to get a few different angles and a couple made it to their Company website- WaltonEnterprise.com. Comments Welcome! 

Review: Nikon Mount Kenko 1.4x Teleconverter

 

Summary: My review is of Kenko’s latest version AF-S Pro 300 1.4x Teleconverter, which supports both mechanical and “silent wave” AF. I use it almost exclusively with the Nikkor 300mm prime F/4 telephoto lens for Nature and Sport. The images I capture are… (more…)

This photo has a pretty strong Industrial feel to me. It is a large sulfur deposit that is formed by pumping molten sulfur (blood-red color) to a pre-formed deposit area. It is periodically removed and shipped off to be… (more…)
