We saw a few but they were very skittish and went into the heavy timber as soon as we spotted them. We did get some nice scenery shots though!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17547862-4995082784916690072?l=bradpowellphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bradpowellphoto.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11823335730660401682noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17547862.post-54373625001910424772007-09-03T20:38:00.000-07:002007-09-04T07:06:56.836-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VV5HBuDbF9M/RtzWBtjdk3I/AAAAAAAAAAs/uw4keDtybmg/s1600-h/lcd40d.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VV5HBuDbF9M/RtzWBtjdk3I/AAAAAAAAAAs/uw4keDtybmg/s320/lcd40d.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5106191402427847538" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VV5HBuDbF9M/RtzUttjdk2I/AAAAAAAAAAk/q0lLSbdl_2M/s1600-h/frontview40d.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VV5HBuDbF9M/RtzUttjdk2I/AAAAAAAAAAk/q0lLSbdl_2M/s320/frontview40d.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5106189959318836066" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">So finally!!! Here it is. Canon has released the long awaited 40D. They sure like to keep everyone in the dark when it comes to releasing new cameras. There are some pretty major changes but I have to admit I was expecting 12mp's as well. I am going to have read some hands-on reviews to see how well the "Live Preview" actually works and where it would be most practical to use. I will have to look long and hard to decide if I will get one this year. But of course if I I do get one then I can finally convert my 20D to black and white infrared!<br /><br />Here is a<a href="http://www.dpreview.com/previews/canoneos40d/"> link</a> to one of first previews I found out on the web on <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/previews/canoneos40d/">dpreview.com<br /></a></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17547862-5437362500191042477?l=bradpowellphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bradpowellphoto.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11823335730660401682noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17547862.post-1144505993452437932006-04-08T07:17:00.000-07:002006-04-08T07:19:53.456-07:00A day of churches.

I prefer a more relaxed style, with the children playing happily in an outdoors setting, not posing. When I get lucky, sometimes I manage to catch a moment in time, a moment in their childhood. The biggest compliment I can receive is when a parent tells me I have caught their child's personality in a photograph.<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8092/1693/1024/_MG_0641.0.jpg"><img style="CLEAR: all; FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8092/1693/400/_MG_0641.0.jpg" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8092/1693/1024/_MG_1484.jpg"><img style="CLEAR: all; FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8092/1693/400/_MG_1484.jpg" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8092/1693/1024/_MG_1711.0.jpg"><img style="CLEAR: all; FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8092/1693/400/_MG_1711.0.jpg" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17547862-114247828540008401?l=bradpowellphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bradpowellphoto.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11823335730660401682noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17547862.post-1142177770801984682006-03-12T07:34:00.000-08:002006-03-12T07:36:10.810-08:00Some black and white shots from the Nanaimo waterfront.<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8092/1693/1024/IMG_3872.1.jpg"><img style="CLEAR: all; FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8092/1693/400/IMG_3872.0.jpg" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8092/1693/1024/_MG_3893.0.jpg"><img style="CLEAR: all; FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8092/1693/400/_MG_3893.0.jpg" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8092/1693/1024/IMG_3902.1.jpg"><img style="CLEAR: all; FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8092/1693/400/IMG_3902.1.jpg" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8092/1693/1024/IMG_3907.1.jpg"><img style="CLEAR: all; FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8092/1693/400/IMG_3907.0.jpg" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17547862-114217777080198468?l=bradpowellphoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bradpowellphoto.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11823335730660401682noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17547862.post-1142173703729957242006-03-12T06:24:00.000-08:002006-03-12T06:28:23.736-08:00A Grey Heron at Buttertubs Marsh.
