Twisted Stairways

Singapore has a lot of really interesting architectural bits, both classic and modern.

Singapore Skyline

dustin — 2012-06-13T22:50:36-04:00

Singapore Skyline from across the Marina Bay.

Singapore wasn't as clean or orderly as the hype had led me to believe. It probably helped that I was staying in Little India quarter: full of color, sound, and people. I recommend it thoroughly.

Gili Trawangan Sunset

dustin — 2012-06-07T02:22:23-04:00

Sunset on the island of Gili Trawangan, Indonesia. This photo of mine was awarded 2nd place in a photo contest organized by the North Saskatchewan Riverkeeper Program. Yay clean water!

I recently returned to Vancouver after 8 months of travelling in California and Southeast Asia. I've gone through almost all of my photos from the trip. I've added my favorites to the Vorg photo pool on Flickr, so take a look!

(Flickr even has a new snazzy photo-pool display now)

The Old Port isn't just aged sherry in Portugal

YvonTripper — 2012-05-29T16:51:08-04:00

The Old Port of Montreal is a federal government corporation. Corporation president Claude Benoit charged $10,000 to the corporation to prepare a report on things that sort of reminded her of the Old Port while she was vacationing in Australia and New Zealand.
The report is available for your inspection here. I suggest that you review this very inciteful and interesting report to learn things about Australia and New Zealand that you could only otherwise find out in one of your friends' Facebook albums.

Eurovision 2012

chrisdye — 2012-05-24T21:02:33-04:00

Russia: Party for Everybody

San Marino: Social Network (apparently San Marino now has the internet)

Latvia: Beautiful Song (great timely references to Mick Jagger and Paul McCartney)

Fun with a Fisheye Lens

dustin — 2011-05-16T03:20:37-04:00

2011 was my 6th year attending the Northern Voice personal media conference. I took the opportunity this time to play around more with my DSLR camera. I got to talking with photographer John Biehler about shooting using a fisheye lens, and he was kind enough to lend me his for the second day of the conference.

Fisheye is such a different perspective, it took me some time to get a feel for what it works well on. Here are a few of my favorite fisheye shots from the day (click to enlarge):

See all my photos in my 2011 Northern Voice photoset. The first half were with a 'regular' lens, and the second half are fisheye shots.

Fun Sailing Simulator Game

dustin — 2011-04-26T02:58:25-04:00

I was recently looking at games available on the Mac App Store and my favorite discovery so far is Sailboat Championship.

The game lets you control a small sailboat using simple controls. It's fast and fun. It's also hard, which lets you appreciate your improvement, including racing against a "ghost" view of your previous run.

It's also available for iPhones, so find it in either app store.

I'm U.K, you're U.K.
