Private Zombie

Private Zombie
Calgary had it's annual Zombie Walk on Saturday, October 17, 2009. The undead arose at Olympic Plaza, staggered down Stephen Avenue Walk, then limped to Tomkins Park for a rest, and finally undied at Shaw Millennium Park. This year the event was used to raise food and funds for the Calgary Inter-Faith Food Bank. For the first time, I used a Canon EF 50mm f/1.88 II lens, which for it's price, is quite good for what I wanted, which was to create a small depth of field effect, and to have a fast shutter speed.

Night house

Night house
My first experiment with night time photography (30 second shutter) wtih my new Rebel T1i was of this newly constructed house that's on the market. This is in the inner city, so it was far from pitch black, but my eyes couldn't see most of the detail seen here. Not very pretty, but I find it a little neat. So, now I totally have to go take pics in a park at night.
