Three days of shooting!

I'm on training this week and that means I'm out of the office, and very close to Assiniboine Park which has consistently been one of my favourite places to shoot. On top of this, a friend who bought a DSLR this year was also on the training.

So, for the last three days we've been taking off at lunch, walking over to Assiniboine Park, and shooting for 30-40 minutes. I've collected some favourite shots from the Conservatory, Leo Mol Sculpture Garden, and English Gardens.

There is a little landscape, macro, flowers, insects and a bit of people watching too. Enjoy!



























As always, I welcome and value your comments and criticisms!

Hail to the King, baby...

This statue is outside of my office building. There is no good angle to shoot it, no flattering angles, no interesting background, nothing. On top of that, it's kind of an ugly statue, and whoever made it was clearly high when they came up with the idea.

I give you, King Pigeon:



The texture is interesting in the statue, and the expression is amusing enough. The shot is blah though. Still the best thing I've managed to snap in the last few days. I hope the weather is good at the zoo this weekend.
