Managed to get out yesterday to do a bit of landscape photography. Since it was the last weekend before the National series kicks off next week I figured it was a good time to get out, get some fresh air and shoot something other than a dirt bike since that's going to be occupying the majority of my time over the next few months.
I called up my friend, Sev, who's into photography and after grabbing a bite we headed for the local mountains. Luckily for me, he's got a 4x4 since my truck isn't the best for exploring the local logging roads. We managed to find a couple cool spots and scout some places that will be good to come back to. It was an overcast day, which pretty much sucks for grand, sweeping scenics but the soft, even light is great for closesups - the light gets in and opens everything up so that's what I pretty much stuck to.
After the hectic pace of the last month's photo shoots it's nice to just get out and wander around with a camera and shoot what you see. No shot list or agenda that you have to stick to. I noticed that a lot of the local wildflowers are starting to bloom as well so I'm going to try and get in another day or two of landscape shooting this week if I can. I've got to leave Thursday morning for Kamloops to do a shoot with the Leading Edge team so time is running out. I know I'll blink and September will be here.....

Flowers and city. This was supposed to be a multi-exposure HDR image but the wind made lining them up impossible. Instead I just made a pseudo-HDR image in Photomatix using one image. The quality is not quite as good but it gets pretty close to saving all the detail.
