We had the chance to head out to the Vancouver Aquarium yesterday. The forecast was for sunshine but unfortunately that didn’t come to pass. We ended up with a high overcast layer of cloud. Still, we think we managed to get some nice shots.

Here are the shots that I think are the better ones in the lot.

By the way, that little Monkey is a BUGGER to photograph! I’ve tried 3 times now and I’m still not 100% satisfied with the shots I’m getting. He’s in a dimly lit cage, and won’t stop fidgeting! Oh well, one day I’ll beat the little bugger!

Well I’ve got to say I feel jipped! Every winter I enjoy the couple of days to week of snow. This year, NOTHING worth writing home about. No snow has even stayed on the ground in Langley! This is what we have seen in previous years:

I’d be nice to get a little reminder once a year that we are north of the 49th parallel.

Well, I guess not this year.

PS: In case you are wondering, the second shot was taken with a Pentax 12-24mm lens. It’s actually 2 shots that have been combined in Photoshop CS4. The “Photomerge” feature did a good job this time.

Vancouver Aquarium, self explanatory.

Cute buggers!

Before heading out this past XMas night, I saw this little guy just sitting there. He obliged and sat still while I brought a macro lens right up to his ugly mug! Same shot was taken with 2 different depths of field.

I’ve got WAY too many pictures from the previous couple of years that I still need to go through. I’ve been slowly but surely sorting and processing, and am hoping I’m on the home stretch!

Here we go, a few pictures of the mother-to-be!
