Mar 31, 2011 - Day 90 - Rebecca Black.... ouch

Mar 31, originally uploaded by wdkinleyphoto.

After deliberately avoiding all the hype about Rebecca Black for weeks now I had to check it out today. This is a screenshot of her video on youtube. Notice the zoomed in views/likes/dislikes. 70 million views, 165000 likes..... 1.35 million dislikes. I've never seen that kind of ratio before. I'm pretty sure people don't have an issue with her as a person ... but her music might be the most unfortunate thing to ever find my ears.

The Randall's came through Nipawin on their way to minister in Cumberland House this week. We had the opportunity to have their crew over for lunch today. Jenna is such a cutie and had as much fun as any of us.

We spied James and Karina on a walk with their newborn after work today. I just so happened to have my camera with me and was excited to be able to take a shot of their first stroll together. You guys rock. Bam!

Here's Adam hittin the skier chick at Little Red's 20th anniversary today. Great day to ride and celebrate the last 20 years that the Kinsmen Ski Center has been open in the Prince Albert area.

Mar 25, 2011 - Day 84 - Looking For Disaster

Mar 26, originally uploaded by wdkinleyphoto.

Went to Little Red tonight to shred with Mike and Aaron. I was getting stoked on this rail so I upped my speed. As I came up to the rail I got all strung out with my hands above my head and way over the rail. Ended up out of shape in the middle but was able to stick it out to the end without disaster. It's close calls like this that make you rethink things. At least I had a trusty ski racing helmet courtesy of the Kinsmen Ski Center. :)

Sometimes everyone just needs a helping hand.

Mar 23, 2011 - Day 82 - SPLASH!

Mar 23, originally uploaded by wdkinleyphoto.

I was really hoping to have a vehicle come ripping around the corner and hit the puddle but........ not today. Had to settle for this splash instead of a huge one. It was a beautiful day and althought the temperature was around -3*C (roughly 27*F) the sun made it warm enough that there was water all over the place.

Mar 21, 2011 - Day 80 - Scottttttttttttttttttttttttt Nicholson

Mar 21, originally uploaded by wdkinleyphoto.

I took this yesterday at the comp but didn't get around to the post processing until today. The thing I find interesting about the shot are the shadows. Because of the large trees in the way of the sun Scot goes in and out of the shadows. Definitely makes the shot interesting. Lots of awesome riding went down yesterday. :)

Mar 20, 2011 - Day 79 - Back 5

Mar 20, originally uploaded by wdkinleyphoto.

Here's a sequence of a sweet back 5 from the comp at Little Red today. Propaganda, along with the Kinsmen Ski Center threw a fantastic comp where around 30 riders threw down.

Now that I have got my blog back under control after the pirate attack I think we'll be seing some more killer shots like these :)

AAARRRGH! This Blog has been boarded by the Dread Pirate Stefan!

Here be a picture of a baby watching the greatest game on earth, not dice, but Hockey!

Me thinks Montreal pillaged Minnesota this game. AAARRRRGH!

We're about -10*C right now in Nipawin and have had clear skies the last two nights. We have had a great opportunity to view the full moon. Here is an 8 second exposure of our moon through the neighbour's trees. F5.6, zoom @ 200m

Mar 15, 2011 - Day 74 - iboats.com

Mar 15, originally uploaded by wdkinleyphoto.

I've spent a bunch of time on and off tonight on the iboats.com forums trying to find out what's wrong with my boat motor. Looks like it's the stator that needs to be replaced as there's no spark on cylinders 1,3,and 5. I definitely didn't take much time on this one... I'm as disappointed with my performance today as you are :)

Mar 14, 2011 - Day 73 - Tower of Power

Mar 14, originally uploaded by wdkinleyphoto.

This is the intake end of the Mercury 115 6 Cylinder "Tower of Power" that's on the boat. Haven't started it yet this spring, but the compression is good and there's no rust in the cylinders after the it got sunk last year. Hoping for the best!

Mar 13, 2011 - Day 72 - Upstairs Glow

This shot was taken with the house being quite dark and a 1 second shutter time. It's getting late and the glow coming from the room which has my bed sounds pretty comfy right now.

Mar 12, 2011 - Day 71 - Neighbour's Place

Took a long exposure in the dark of the neighbour's place. The colours in the tree are what stood out to me and made the shot.

Today is Friday and my brain feels like this right now.... strings of thought running amok. Good thing Saturdays are great days to organize them all! I love all the weekdays too, but hello Weekend!!!

Here's Sarah reading to me about what my job is during labour! :) I hear a lot of - do this to be a comfort .... but stop if it becomes annoying to her. Do this..... but stop if it becomes annoying.... Do this.......etc. I'll try not to be annoying babe :)

Mar 9, 2011 - Day 68 - Organizing Chaos

Mar 9, originally uploaded by wdkinleyphoto.

Sarah and I came home to a desk full of papers and placed out bags on the table side by side. Just the last few days I took a stack of papers (fairly organized) and sorted them all over the table and chairs (chaos) and am working on getting them all organized again. This here is a shot done purposefully from another room. (the kitchen). There are some times where you just want to avoid the room if possible :)

Mar 8, 2011 - Day 67 - Assignment

Mar 8, originally uploaded by wdkinleyphoto.

Tonight I had an assignment for myself. To shoot something in very low light with no flash using long exposure, and use post processing to bring the white balance back. So I used post to bring the white back as well as up the contrast to bring out some of the texture in the green. Fun assignment.

Mar 5, 2011 - Day 64 - Thought you said it was an electrical fire??

Mar 5, originally uploaded by wdkinleyphoto.

We came out of Future Shop today and this poor Saturn Vue was showing us a little bit of a previous incident. I can say that this was definitely an electrical fire. Could have even had something to do with driving away with the cord still plugged in :)

Mar 4B, 2011 - Day 63 - Lipstick rail

For some reason this rail has always been intimidating to me. I was pumped to rock it all night. Threw the Lomo effect on this one because I hadn't used it in a while.

Mar 2, 2011 - Day 61 - Oldest car in Canada

Mar 2, originally uploaded by wdkinleyphoto.

Mr. Tim Petkau unveiled for me the oldest car in Canada. A very late 19th century quadricycle. He mentioned he needed to get some parts for it to make it run. So I asked where in the world he was going to get them. Well it turns out there was only 6 of these ever made and the owner of another gave him a set of the blueprints. As far as he knows there's only two sets out there. At the school where he works at as shop teacher they can build the parts to spec. Definitely a neat little piece of history here.
