sunbeam photos – cycling Fisherman’s
I snapped a lot of pics today on Rockin Ronnie’s favourite Fisherman’s Trail ride in North Vancouver. I got some unexpected interesting effects from motion blur and sunbeams.

Super popular and great fun.

photographs focus AFTER you click
I’m quite happy with my new GPS geotagging camera, despite the short battery life.
Friends report being happier than ever with their new cameras, too.
But the biggest innovation in decades may be just around the corner. This video shows how it works.

PC MAG:
Ren Ng, the founder of Lytro, explains how a camera can capture images that are never out of focus. …
Lytro has big plans. … the Mountain View, CA-based startup said it would soon bring to market a new kind of camera that’s based on light-field photography. The result: photographs that you can focus after you take them. Simply click your mouse on the spot on the picture you want in focus, and it changes before your eyes …
the Lytro camera, assuming it debuts later this year as planned, will mark the first time the tech makes an appearance in a consumer camera …
“If you can shoot first, focus later, it’s going to be the fastest camera you’ve ever used,” Ng said in an interview with PCMag.
“Because when you press the shutter button, it takes the shot instantly. It doesn’t have to wait for the lens to move.”
city so nice, they named it Nice
I spent a number of days in Nice, France only because it was the jumping off point to catch the ferry to Corsica.
Must admit, it’s a very pleasant tourist town with much to do and see.
There are plenty of unconvincing homeless people in Nice, preying on the good natured tourists on holiday. This corner in the old town would be my spot, if I became one of them.
Lausanne, Switzerland
My laptop returned, I’ve finally been able to post 100 photos from 9+ days in Lausanne for the World Gymnaestrada.
I tented for about $25 / night at Camping Vidy.
Aside from Gymnaestrada, the biggest highlight is the Olympic Museum. Very well done.
It’s a real city of fitness opportunities.
The Metropolitan Area of Lausanne-Geneva is over 1.2 million inhabitants. The headquarters of the International Olympic Committee are located in Lausanne – the IOC officially recognises the city as the Capitale Olympique …
Fond memories …

relaxing after Gymnastics Camp …
Always after HPTC in Idaho, coaches and staff have a recovery day, this year at the famed Coeur d’Alene Resort.

Reykjavík, Iceland photos
My random photos from a number of days wandering quirky Reykjavík.
… the capital and largest city of Iceland. Its latitude at 64°08′ N makes it the world’s northernmost capital of a sovereign state.
… population of around 120,000 (and over 200,000 in the Greater Reykjavík Area) it is the heart of Iceland’s economic and governmental activity. …
Much of the action is centred around Laugavegur, the main shopping street.
You can watch them via slide show … or skim the thumbnails.
With this set, all my photos from 2wks in Iceland have now been uploaded to flickr.
