365 Project – Day 67 – More snow

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

I don’t know, given all the very snowy photographs that I took today, why I particularly like this photo.  I just do.

I'm not sure why I particularly like this photo of a snowy signpost

For some reason I like this snowy signpost photo

365 Project – Day 66 – Igloo

Monday, December 21st, 2009

There was over a foot of snow on the ground this morning.  I was babysitting so we all played outside and built an ‘igloo’.

On Top of the World

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

It was a bit of an effort to skiing today as it looked all grey and cloudy with no new snow.  As is often the way in Whistler, however, you soon break through the cloud layer for fantastic sun and views.  I skied with two snowboarder friends and we took advantage of the great light.

This is a friend of mine getting some air in Bagel Bowl on Whistler Mountain.  The snow was at it’s best here, super icy on the lower ski runs.

365 Project – Day 64

Saturday, December 19th, 2009

Christmas lights in Whistler are always extensive but this year they’ve gone nuts because of the 2010 Olympics.  In this photo, though, I particularly like the reflections of the lights.

365 Project – Day 63

Friday, December 18th, 2009

This shot of milk dropping into a saucer is one that I’ve wanted to do for a while.  Getting the timing right is more or less impossible.  I’ll try it again one day to fully capture the depth of field.  Not bad though, for a first attempt:

365 Project – Day 62

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

I took photographs last week of the Whistler Gymnastics Club but I wanted to try again as there were some lessons I learned that I wanted to put into practice.  This is one of my favourite shots.  I’ll post some of the others in the sport section (with last weeks shots too) but I don’t have time right now.

This snow plough was a welcome sight this morning after nearly three weeks with no snow at all.

365 Project – Day 60

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

Short, cold, dark days with all day at work makes taking outdoor photos tricky.  With Christmas preparations in full swing it’s hard to get time to shoot indoors too.  So this is a photo of a card that I made for my niece.

Today I decorated my Christmas tree.  Living in a ski town I really like that this Santa is a skier!
