After a quite long absence im back again. Lets see how long this will last until the next time im saying the same first sentence. Anyway, winter sucks because its cold and theres ice. But it gives me amazing photo opportunities. Heres what ive gotten so far in the past few days.
(in the process of uploading these have been brightened automatically by blogger. I have no idea why it would do that but it has. so the "originals" are much darker)

These are from random days again. I haven't been able to post things regularly, but at least I'm posting stuff. Hopefully Ill be able to take photos more regularly and post them quicker, but I'm not sure that will happen. Hopefully Ill find a way. I have a few ideas floating around and I just need to get them rolling.
The first one is from my window and the second and third were on the side of the road at a park. I was adventuring with my friend Dan and it was the middle of the night, so it wasn't the greatest idea to scout out the area and shoot while it was pitch black outside.

It rained for a solid 24 hours a few days ago. I was sitting at my desk and realized that the rain on the window would be really cool, so I took a few shots.  This was the only one that I liked. Simple and rainy.

I did something different this time. I went out with my friend Sage and we went basically to the middle of nowhere and shot super long exposures with a photography group he found. Doing this was weird because the f/ stop number was higher than I'm used to shooting it at. But it was good to get out of my rut of f/1.8 - f/2.8

"Fog Blur". Photography, 2013

This is a random assortment of photos I've taken this year that haven't been posted yet. They were never posted mainly because I didn't have a name for them and I wasn't sure if I liked them. But i do, and thats why they have a name and are getting posted.

"Off Centre". Photography, 2013

I went shooting all day a few days ago and I think that getting 4 good shots is a good day. Here are these 4 shots. Only 1 from the daytime turned out good. I have others but I dont like them. And then the other 3 are from the night time. All day I was with my friend Sage who also happens to be a photographer. Yay I have photographer friends.

"Silhouette Infront Of The Moon". Photography, 2013

I took this while on my discovery trip. Im just late to posting it because I didnt know what to name it.

"Dying Nightshade". Photography, 2013

Im officially off to school and that means scoping out the area for awesome new photography spots! I found this little gem, its an abandoned paper mill I think. None the less, its really an amazing spot during the day and it would be an even more amazing place at night if it wasn't scary and potentially inhabited by homeless people.

"Happy, Sad, Dead, Alive". Photography, 2013

I went with my girlfriend to the butterfly sanctuary some time ago and forgot to post this. I got to use her 70-200mm lens. Its such a nice lens.

She's a photographer too and Ill link her flickr after this. She's really good, but she doesn't believe me.

"Slow To Stop". Photography, 2013

Driving across the country is boring. Sitting in a car for hours not being able to do anything, watching the sunset outside and not being able to take photos of the sunset in the countryside. This was the best I got at a rest stop.

"Alone For The Sunset". Photography, 2013

"Beautiful Reflection On The Road". Photography, 2013

More uploads in no particular order. Ive been busy lately with stuff so I cant upload photos on a regular basis for now. Soon they will start to come out more regularly.

"Attempted Experimentation". Photography, 2013

"Lost By A Creek". Photography, 2013

Ive been doing so much the past week and I have so many photos that I still need to name. These are the ones I have named currently. I will post the others when they have names. They aren't posted in order of when they were taken, they're just in random spots.

"Awkward Stance". Photography, 2013

"Lets All Go To The Lobby". Photography, 2013

"Catching Wind". Photography, 2013

"Focus Fire". Photography, 2013

The sky was really pretty one evening and it faded from blue to yellow to red really perfectly. The light it emitted was amazing too. Along with the fact that all the street lights were just coming on.

"Witnessing Life". Photography, 2013

So much rain in the past weeks. Its crazy. The rain let up for a bit and I managed to grab this shot.

"Falling Alone". Photography, 2013

I went for a walk when he sun started setting and it was perfect timing. Everything was beautiful.

"Little Lines Of Focus". Photography, 2013

I love it when it rains. It always gives me something great to photograph and its so beautiful.

"No Tires To Be Seen". Photography, 2013

I seem to be taking a lot of night time photos. My past 3 posts were night photos and this post is of a night photo. Anyway, I went to the beach at night and I was about to go home when I decided to try light painting with an oncoming bus. I quickly set up and this was the result.

"Slow Right Turn". Photography, 2013

I was coming home on the streetcar one night and I noticed the moon sitting in the sky like this at 2am. I quickly ran home, grabbed my camera and took this. Late nights are the best.

"Half Naked". Photography, 2013

Im pretty sure this was taken during the time when the moon was crazy close to the Earth.  It was either that night or the night after, either way the moonlight was really strong and gave off red light.

"Night Time Silhouette". Photography, 2013

This is apparently what I can get when I stay up late with friends.  I guess you could say this is my "first collaboration" with one of my long time friends Cohen.  He's a pal.

"Reaching For The Lightbox". Photography, 2013

These were taken on two separate days.  The first one, obviously, was taken while it was raining. Rain drops on a puddle.  The second was taken when it wasn't raining (Oh WOW).  The sun was bursting through the tree and it was getting in my eye. So I took a picture of it.

"Rain Drops". Photography, 2013

"Tree Flare". Photography, 2013

I saw the moon tonight and it was phenomenal. Rushed home, grabbed my camera, and took some shots of it. It was moving crazy fast, which is what its separated like it is.

"Between The Trees". Photography, 2013

"Tracking The Moon". Photography, 2013

Its been raining a lot lately. Its beautiful. I love the rain because its nice, but it also gives me awesome stuff to photograph.
