Those of you that know me know that I am not usually one to get up in arms about most animal rights issues. Nonetheless, I just came across what may be the most disturbing picture of the cruelty innocent puppies are subjected to in Asia:

Just for fun I tried making a few images with the IR camera during the kick-off of the Red Chair Project. Here are some of the results (which I am quite pleased with; I'll be doing more of these).

After months of dust building up from the
Shangri-La construction next door, the exterior windows are finally being cleaned at work. I've been waiting for this.

What happened to that shiny, bright future we were promised a century ago?

It arrived. It's just hard to see without the right filters....

I was up early this morning to catch the light while it was still coming from the east to experiment with the neutral density filters I bought the other day. A neutral density filter is like sunglasses for your camera. They cut down the amount of light getting through without affecting colour, allowing - as you see here - longer exposures in bright light. These shots, and some others I will put in a separate post later, are basically tests for some "wilderness" shots (which I'll probably do at Lynn Creek or somewhere else in North Van) I need to shoot for a client next week.
Behind the cut you'll find a more-or-less 1:1 comparison with and without the filters: |

A new bit of gear I won on eBay arrived today, just in time for the Red Chair shoot:
It's a cable that allows me to use the flash up to five feet away from the camera. This gives me all sorts of improved lighting possibilities.
Of course the cats were conscripted as test subjects: |
Meep.
We are not amused.
