PESO - The Ice Stud 2016

[knarf]

He shows up every year. Same costume. Same smile on his face. 

Made the finals (as he always does) and I think he ended up 4th. He's fast as 
hell on pavement but ice just doesn't agree with him:

Hope you enjoy. Comments welcome.

Re: Cool architectural photography. Pentax 67, I think.

[knarf]

Cool photos, but brutalist architecture has got to be the ugliest crime 
perpetrated by architecture against cities in the 20th Century. 

Toronto was in the midst of a huge boom during the late sixties through to the 
end of the seventies, the heyday of brutalism. Grey concrete abounds in this 
city and it's monstrous, heavy, grey and imposing. I hate it:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robarts_Library

But thanks for the link. Wonderful photos despite buttons it pushes.  :-)

Re: PESO - Floatplane Base

The aircraft in the first photo are DeHavilland (now owned by Bombardier) 
Otters, probably the Turbine Super Otters.

The original radial engined Otters are one of the great bush planes of all time.

Re: PESO - Floatplane Base

As I think I mentioned on a previous Vancouver float plane photo, we send cargo 
through that base on a regular basis. It's the fastest way to get to Vancouver 
Island and up the coast.

Very cool shot!

Wow! Great gallery!

Ken's ~Reflections from the Inside Passage~ and Phillip's ~Wheels~ stand out 
from an excellent group of photos.

Re: PESO - The Number You Have Dialed... (B version)

[knarf]

Thanks, Paul, Rick, Ann and everyone else who threw in their 2 cents. 

I still don't know which I prefer. I was thinking in colour when I took it but 
I have to say the B worked way better than I expected. It is (as I think 
Bruce said) a bit menacing where the colour is a bit whimsical. 

To me it's like they're two different photos. No preference, I think they each 
have something to say.

Thanks all for your input; it has been most valuable. 

Cheers,

frank

Thanks Dan.

Had to stand there for about ten minutes for one of those damned gulls to be 
the right distance away, going in the right direction and more or less where I 
wanted it to be (I did crop a bit to get it "just right" LOL). They weren't 
very cooperative that day.

Re: PESO - Stage Door

[knarf]

Toronto has a few grand old theatres that have been spectacularly yet 
tastefully renovated. I think the Elgin Winter Garden is the most beautiful of 
them the interior is gorgeous as is the outside. They still have the original 
ticket booth ( no longer used) out front and old-style incandescent lights 
abound (as you can see above the stage door. 

Thanks for the kind words; glad you enjoyed. 

Cheers,

Re: PESO ~ Form and light #1

This just doesn't feel like it's coming together for me. Can't really say why, 
it's just not cohesive, not flowing, something's just not right to my eye.

Unlike Ann, this is my least favorite of your shots of Rachel posted on Flickr.

The other photos of her, on the other hand, are spectacular. I like the rope 
one...   :-)

Re: PESO - Stage Door

[knarf]

Thanks Mark. I think you caught what I was going for.

I actually was initially attracted by the door and posters, only as I was 
framing that shot in the viewfinder did I notice the (apparently) homeless 
person on the right. It was pretty dark in that corner and I considered dodging 
it a bit to make him more obvious, then I decided that hiding in a dark corner 
was more appropriate to the situation.

Thanks again.

Cheers,

frank

PESO - The Number You Have Dialed... (B version)

I posted a colour version of this back in October. I just did a quick-and-nasty 
monochrome rendering on my phone and I have to say, I really don't know which I 
prefer:

And the colour:

Thoughts? Preference? Thanks.

PESO - New Year, New Hope

[knarf]

I took this last weekend down by the lake. It was sunset but I was looking 
southeast; the clouds caught a tinge of the sun.

As I looked at it this morning I thought, simple as it is, it says something 
about the hope of this day:

http://knarfdummyblog.blogspot.ca/2015/12/early-winter.html?m=0

Happy New Year. May you have happiness and peace in 2016. May the world see 
happiness and peace in 2016.

Cheers, 

frank

Re: PESO: Happy birthday to her

[knarf]

That's a beautiful photo, Paul. I'm sure you must have such bittersweet 
feelings this, her first birthday since she left.

Memories of joy and beauty and happiness, mixed with anger, loss and grief.

I'm glad you have a few photos and I feel honoured that you shared this one 
with us. She was beautiful, and from what you told us over the years, a 
beautiful human being.

I wish you peace,

frank

Re: OT Wet Christmas

[knarf]

Well, Dan, believe it or not, I agree with pretty much everything you just 
said!  :-)

It's been some time since the term "climate change" replaced "global warming".

I don't know if the world is, on average, warmer or not, but what's irrefutable 
is:

"The Arctic region is warmer than it used to be and it continues to get warmer. 
Over the past 30 years, it has warmed more than any other region on earth."

https://nsidc.org/cryosphere/arctic-meteorology/climate_change.html

Human activity seems to be a contributor to at least some of that change. It 
just seems prudent to do what we can to alleviate this before it's too late.

 Cheers,

frank

Re: PESO: Emulating Knarf

[knarf]

I think you're  holding that camera too steadily, Mark. Don't squeeze the 
shutter release, stab at it. Quick, short motions are best. That way you get 
tilt, motion blur and out of focus all at the same time.

It'll come with no practice whatsoever. In fact practice is discouraged. 

Nice effort all the same.

And seriously, I love it! I wish I'd have taken it.  :-)

Cheers,

frank

OT - PESO - It's Hee-re

[knarf]

This has been the mildest December on record, and even if we have a deep freeze 
cold-snap to finish the year it will remain the warmest ever.

But tonight we're (finally) getting our first taste of winter:

http://knarfinthecity.blogspot.ca/2015/12/it-hee-ere.html?m=1

It was freezing rain, then snow, now ice pellets. The photo doesn't show the 
70km/hr wind gusts. 

A warm front is coming in tomorrow and by the afternoon this will all be a 
memory.

Taken with the phone cam whilst taking out the trash. Hope you enjoy. Comments 
welcome but not expected.  :-)

Cheers,

frank

I am certain that someone will be able to find a web page to refute it (can't

Re: PESO - Night Skating

Thanks, Mark!

Don't know about the BW thing though. I'll check it out but I'm thinking that 
the essence of the thing is red. 

I certainly had in mind that it would be a colour photo when I shot it. But I 
should be open minded, yeah?

Re: PESO - Night Skating

[knarf]

Thanks Rick!

What I really wish is that the skater was a few feet to the right, so his 
shadow is more in the red ice. I do have a frame where he's in better position 
but his stride is all wrong looking. I waited and waited but no one got in that 
nice position again 

I'll try dodging the skater a bit as per your suggestion. We'll see how it 
goes. 

Thanks again for the comment!

Re: Happy Whiskymas

Glad to hear Whiskeymas was a success. Nothing like a Boxing Day hangover; I've

Re: OT Wet Christmas

[knarf]

Don't worry. It's got nothing to do with Global Warming. Sorry, we don't use 
that term anymore. 

Climate Change: It's got nothing to do with Climate Change, which is doesn't 
really exist and is just a left-lib socialist wealth redistribution scheme.

Whatever the cause that is devastating flooding and I feel for the locals. What 
a way to spend Christmas.

Re: Happy Xmas everyone! The 2015 Quotations List is now live!

[knarf]

Now I know it's really Christmas morning!

And like everyone else I first scroll down and see how many of mine are in 
there. Then I sloowly scroll up, reading each one.

A vintage year. Bob W. was in fine form this year, but honestly you could do an 
entire page of Bob quotes and still miss some good ones. In fact, just to give 
the rest of us a chance, I suggest you do that moving forward (oh how I hate 
that phrase - "moving forward" - eeew!): A Bob W. page and a page for the rest 
of us.

Fair is fair. 

And in all seriousness, thanks Mark, for another year of great quotes. Next 
year starts right now!  LOL!

Cheers,
