So here are a couple of photos taken this morning as the Olympic Torch went through North Delta…not prize winning photos but a great event none the less I subscribe to a number of photo-related blogs. Mostly, I take a quick glance, make a mental note and delete. But, this is one article I want to remember, and hopefully, act on. In the article the author, Darren Rowse, says, “Like most of you, I got interested in photography after viewing so many other photos that I thought were beautiful, and I thought “I want to be able to do that!” So I started reading, and practicing, and getting a better camera, and upgrading my lenses… and I still haven’t been able to take any of those photos that I drooled over all those years ago. But I do have a list – what I call my Photo Bucket List – of all the photos I hope to one day capture – no matter how cliche and overdone some of them are, I don’t care, I want them.” So, do any of you have a photography bucket list?? What’s on yours? Just wanted to drop in and say hello….its nice to see that at least 3 members made it to the bug lab last Saturday, even though Mike and I couldn’t….the photos that you have posted are great….anyone else attend and want to share???? Make sure you bring any photos you want to share and/or work on for our upcoming challenges to Tuesday nights meeting…..see you then… Mary Ann To help celebrate 2010’s Int’l Year of Biodiversity (IYB), the UBC Botanical Garden has set up thematic months for educational programming at UBC Botanical Garden. They are hoping to link this to the Botany Photo of the Day – Daily Blog as well. They have set up monthly themes which are posted to their Flickr site. Favoured photos will be included in their blog (you get to keep all your rights, beyond their right to use it in the newletter). They have quite a large viewing audience, to if you want your botany photos to have a larger audience….
