2012, what a great start. May the power and focus be with you to complete all your personal goals, resolutions, wishes or simply silly dreams that are seemingly impossible. The trick is to aim higher than you originally planned and see how far you can push forward to make a significant difference to your lives and those around you.
Happy 2012!!
Can’t believe it has been a year already. Every year, snow geese migrate through Richmond and it is a good reminder for me that the year is coming to an end soon. This year I have taken more photos of these birds and share them with you here. In case you missed it, here are a couple of similar posts from 2010 and 2009.
Have you tried creating your own Photo Book? It is quite a neat publishing experience. I use Aperture to manage my photos and Apple makes it so easy to create my own photo books. Aperture comes with a nice set of photo book templates and it is very intuitive to use. Everything is drag-and-drop as expected. When you drag photos into the photo placeholder on a page, it is automatically resized to fit. You can also zoom in within the photo placeholder to crop out parts of the photos you don’t like. If you use iPhoto, it is a very similar experience. I imagine it would also be very similar with independent photo book printers like Blurb.
Summer is ending soon. After Labour Day (first Monday in September), school will go back to normal schedule and it seems another 10 months of hard work starts all over again in the work force. Summer always seem to give everyone a little break. However Summer is selfishly short here in Vancouver. The most enjoyable time in the year in my opinion is July and August. It is when the weather is usually the mildest, with the longest day light and has the least amount of rain.
The cherry blossoms at Burrard Station has started blooming for almost a week now. They usually only last for about 10 days and with the rain forecast on the weekend, I wonder if the petals will fall sooner. Until then, let’s enjoy the blossoms!
With the recent purchase of the Lumix GF2, I now have 3 types of cameras I can use. DSLR for quality and abundance of accessories, Micro 4/3 for light weight and fully manual photography, and the iPhone 4 for the casual and leisure type photography. And with the iPhone, Camera+ is definitely a must have for better control of exposure, as well as adding effects like these to the otherwise plain-old-camera-phone photos. All these photos are taken using an iPhone 4 and uploaded directly from Camera+ after some effects and borders are added in the app.
The City of Richmond has a lot of cherry blossom trees, and it seems that a lot of them are already in full bloom. These photos were taken at the Lang Park, a small community park next to the Richmond Public Market.
