West Restaurant


This pan was never intended to be so large, final output is to be 4 times smaller but wanted to play with the new un beta Pro Ptgui. Still holds up OK even though I shot at the lowest resolution to minimize aliasing. Caught a flu in Kamloops yesterday so spending my Saturday nerding out and doing some tests for fun. Still cant get an hdr image to resemble reality but the new multi layer jpg option still can shave a lot of time.
If I was a bigger Wine drinker I think I would be in Heaven at West Restaurant. Check out a full screen qtvr by clicking photo.

Surridge and Torres Family Pan


The Surridge clan met the Torres Gang for the first time, went for a nice breakfast at the Seasons in the Park and shot this pan for fun. Funny after seven years that our folks had never met.


Chopped up an old Panosaurus to make a dedicated spherical head for my sigma 8mm F3.5. The original panosaurus would not allow for a full zenith shot but hacking a couple inches off the top arm makes it possible. Chopping the arm also allowed me to ditch the panosaurus bracket and mount a small manfrotto quick release. Works great as I can mount the quick release in the correct orientation as opposed to the Nodal Ninja. Click photo for QTVR.

Torbos Friday Night Lan

Should have waited for more of the clan but it was Richards Birthday so thought I would shoot a quick pan of the lan. Click photo for full screen QTVR

Jay Hoots New Park


Jay Hoots from Norco was kind enough to come out and show off his new park he built for the city of Coquitlam. He pulled his punches to show what the kids can do with the park, got me thinking. I want to double check my Health Insurance before I drag my bmx out for a spin on the bigger runs. Click photo for QTVR, First of five.
