Pitt River and Pitt Lake

Was not a stellar weather day for picture taking of mountain vistas, but these turned out okay.

This first panorama was taken about a km from the Pitt Lake parking lot, north of Pitt Meadows.

7 stitched photos, Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM

Whatcom Falls Park

About a month ago I once again travelled down to Bellingham to Whatcom Falls Park. I had planned on taking a few pictures there then moving onto Whatcom Lake, which I had never actually seen. However, as I have written about before, my battery had other plans. These are among the few shots I managed to take before the battery death.

Thompson River Panorama

I do not remember where exactly this spot is along HWY 1 but it is most likely before Spences Bridge. Road construction stopped us for about 20 minutes and I had the opportunity to take a few pictures from a vantage point I will never likely be able to see again – there is barely a shoulder on this part of the highway.

7 photos stitched – Canon EF-S 10-22mm @ 15mm.

Photographic Thievery

flickrlogo

I ran across a link to this article in an online photography forum. The article itself is pretty misinformed, basically advocating that people steal images from flickr users for their own interior decorating needs with little or no regard for the copyright already held on those images. What I do like about this is that the authors ignorance on the matter was quickly pointed out by quite a number of irate photographers (read the comments – really the best part). What followed was a number of follow-ups and clarifications about what the article really meant. Whoops!
