Kermit asks: "Did you miss me?"

Kermit’s been fought over by hanging out with the kids over the weekend as I’d left him in Vancouver by mistake after Christmas. Kermit’s been MIA from my photostream for months! He missed out the San Francisco trip, but he’s going to Whistler this weekend without me, so we’re even.

07 Apr 2008 The Best Seat On The Skytrain

best seat on the Skytrain

There’s a single seat at the back of the (newer) Skytrains in Vancouver that faces to the rear, and I always try to get it so I can take these motion blur shots when the Skytrain picks up speed departing the stations. Unless riding at night that back seat is usually taken, but if you have a camera and you like this sort of light-in-motion shooting it’s worth positioning yourself to get into the last car.

I love motion blur

You can tell by looking at my previous attempts of this type of shot with a point-and-shoot digicam (Canon A80) that having the control of a DSLR and a higher-quality lens makes a big difference.
