Canadian spring

Match 6th

Almost one week in the official spring and snow is everywhere.
Don’t get me wrong. I love snow but I can’t wait anymore.

I want spring.
I want summer.
I want to drive my Jeep topless.
I want to ride my bike.
I want to go out and take pictures.
I want …
I want …

Geocaching

What do you do in the autumn days? Too nice outside to go in a pub, too cold to stay on a terasse with a beer and to beautiful to stay at home.

Well, geocaching is the answer i would say. Drive/bike/walk around, discover a treasure and beautiful views.

Gallery update

Mont Tremblant

I had a few hours free yesterday and i decided to finish sorting the images i had from last year

Unfortunately not enough time to do any post processing so i uploaded everything directly after removing duplicates, blurry and useless images. Most of the deleted images were from fireworks. It seems i need a remote control this summer.

I kept some images to make a few HDRs but … next time

Hopefully tomorrow i’ll have time to create a slideshow with best images and update the photo blog but until then, my gallery is here.

Pow Wow

Today i went to Kahnawake for the Pow Wow festival with only one plan: take as many pictures as possible. Guess what … it rained … a lot. I couldn’t even take the camera out from the backpack. I’ll try again tomorrow. Hopefully it won’t rain.

Anyway, if you want to know what is all about, do a google search: Pow Wow

First set!

A little more than one week passed since i bough my D90.
This is the first set of pictures taken with my d90 and upload on internet.
All of them are taken last Sunday in Downtown Montreal.
The older ones are not bad either but i didn’t have time to sort them yet. Hopefully until the end of the week i’ll be able to upload some of them.

All of them can be found in my Gallery and a selection on Flickr.
Now i have a hard task: choose the best image and upload it on the Photoblog

One week

One week passed since i bought my D90.

Impressive camera compared with my old Canon S5 IS.
I’ve read the manual, I’ve read tutorials. I found tools like UFRaw, QTPfsGui, Gimp and i’m learning to use them.

I also learned about Barrel-Pincushion, Perspective Distortion and how to “fix” them with Hugin. Another good tool is: PTLens but unfortunately it doesn’t have a plugin for gimp.

Flickr Nikon D90 group is amazing too!

I didn’t have too much time to take photos and the weather didn’t help either but, today will be a nice day and, more than that, tonight i can shot Fireworks.

Hopefully, in a few days i’ll come here with images taken with D90
