Photo Monday: Spring Time is Here?
It’s only the beginning of April and whereas in past years we’ve had snow at this time of year, in Ontario we enjoyed a very Spring-like Easter! Here are some shots we took during our wonderful weekend at the cottage. I hope everyone had the chance to enjoy the warm temps like we did.
Note: next Photo Monday may be a few days late, but it’ll come. Have a good week all!!
C’est seulement le début d’Avril et même si dans les années passées nous aurions de la neige en ce moment, en Ontario nous avons eu droit à des températures très printanières pour Pâque! Voiçi des images que nous avons prises lors de notre weekend au chalet.
Note: Le prochain Photo Monday sera un peu en retard la semaine prochaine, mais il y en aura un. Passez une belle semaine en attendant!!
Cheers,

Animals of Saint Thomas
We were lucky enough to enjoy some time off in the beautiful U.S. Virgin Islands for the past week or so. We mostly stayed on Saint Thomas, but also visited Saint John and neighbouring much smaller British island called Virgin Gorda. In order to get all of us through the end of the winter, I thought I would share some of our favourite shots of the trip for my photo Monday. This week’s topic is the fauna of Saint Thomas, the ones we were able to photograph that is! The islands are full of amazing creatures and, as you will see, the most predominant one is the Iguana. Enjoy!
As we sort through more and more of our photos, we will add them here on flickr.

Photo Monday: Tilt-Shift Photography
I came across this post-processing technique while researching topics for Photo Monday a couple of months ago. The idea is to simulate a very shallow depth of field in a large scale scene (typically only present in close-up photos), which gives the impression that the scene is miniature (like a model train instead of a real train). I usually don’t like post-processing techniques that alter the photo too much or that make it seem like something that it’s not, but it caught my attention; I think it gives an interesting effect. Apparently, there is a way to achieve this with a lens, but you’ll need what is called a tilt-shift lens (cha-ching $$). You can read more about Tilt-Shift photography on Wikipedia.
As always, let me know what you think!
Strachan House, a.k.a. Pink Hotel, providing us with a lot of excitement, as depicted here, on a weekly basis.
A miniature video production for a band in Toronto.
Rugby in New-Zealand 2003. Otago won! Yay!
Also, just for fun, I thought I would share a funny video from someone on vimeo (Keith Loutit). It’s also based on the Tilt-Shift technique, but all bundled into a video. Pretty awesome!
