Carpe Diem

A tripod and the self timer function on my camera allowed me to take this image. A wonderful view of the Fraser River and clear blue sky complete the photo. Click on the image to see a larger version.

The Blue Hour

Lots of traffic heading in and out of the downtown on a Saturday evening. In this long exposure you can see all three colours of the traffic light. A car coming towards me used the left hand turning lane at just the right moment. It’s a busy image, but I like the perspective which allows you to see the headlights and taillights on the bridge.

The sun sets so far south this time of year. It creates beautiful warm light and long shadows at the end of the day. Click on the image to see a larger version.

Dodge Pickup

This rusted Dodge pickup truck and the perspective of my photo reminds me of the 1971 movie Duel by Steven Spielberg. David Mann ( Dennis Weaver ), a mild mannered electronics salesman, is driving cross-country on a two-lane highway when he encounters an old oil tanker driven by an unseen driver who seems to enjoy annoying him with dangerous antics on the road. He is unable to escape the demonic big rig. After watching the movie, whenever you see an old rusted truck, you’ll see it in a different light. Click on the image to see a larger version.
