This was from my first roll of slide film (Kodak elite chrome 100 ISO). On an Early Spring morning, I set my tripod on its lowest position and zoomed my 28-90mm lens on these blue Primulas. I set the aperture at 32 (its maximum) and a speed of nearly 4 seconds to ensure maximum depth of field. The overcast skies ensure soft lighting without harsh shadows. I love the detail in the drops of dew. |
| This photo opportunity came about by pure chance (as the best do). The grass around the house was blanketed in mist and I hit the brakes in my car, skidding on the wet road. I jumped out, set my tripod so that the ugly fence was hidden, and voila! |

This little daisy turned out so clear and sharp, I couldn't believe it was taken on an 800 ISO film (Fuji Super G). |
| Recognize this ? My friends are always caught wondering if its a chunk of ice or plastic. I zoomed in at 300mm on this small wave cresting on a Victoria beach near Dallas Road. A shutter speed of 1/250th was enough to freeze the action but I had to open up my aperture to F5.6 to expose properly. I am fascinated by the translucent green as the backlit sun pierces the wave. |

These European Bittersweets grow in one of my Mom's many gardens dotting the landscape of my parents' house. I like the colours and the warm lighting. Taken in September 2001 on Fuji Velvia ISO 50 slide film. |
| Like the banner photograph on the title page of this site, this cropped image was taken at Botanical beach near Port Renfrew. The stormy weather accounts for much of the tone here, but since this scan was taken directly from the slide, it is a little darker than actual. Fuji Sensia 100 ISO |

The purple light on this crashing wave adds warmth and depth to this photo. It was taken just before the sun retired over the horizon. I have been taking more and more vertical compositions. This is something I see many new to the art overlook. Next time you take a horizontal picture, take another one vertical- you may be surprised. |

An early-flowering bulbous, this lovely Crocus was shot on Fuji Superia 400 ISO print film with a Canon Rebel G / 50mm Compact Macro with Life-Size convertor attached- hand held. Thanks to Rosalie for identifying it ! |

This is East Sooke Park about 1 hour outside Victoria. The trails are easy and the views rewarding. Taken on Fuji NPS 160 print film. |
| * all the photos on this website were taken on my trusty Canon EOS Rebel G with either my 28-90 or 75-300mm lenses (unless otherwise noted). They are scans from prints made from slides (Fuji & Kodak brands) unless otherwise noted. I have chosen a compromise between quality and download speed/image size. To do justice to the actual prints, I would have to scan each picture at about 2 megabytes ! Due to memory restrictions on the server, I would only be able to post about 10 at a time. This seemed a good compromise.. |
