Photo Feature 19 Nov 2007: Themeless

Good evening folks and welcome to your Monday Evening Photo Feature. I know it doesn't have the same ring as friday photo feature, but it'll have to do for now since I am gong to be doing this on Mondays for the foreseeable future.

Tonight I've taken some time to troll the depths of the Beyond Robson Flickr group and find some of the better photos for you to look at and applaud. If you'd like to see a photo of your own here on the front page of a blog read by lots and lots of people every day then you should take a few minutes to join and submit photos to the group. It's free and it's easy! Just like your mom. Ha ha! I keeed.

Anyway on to business. Today we don't have a theme.

Photo Feature 12 Nov 2007: Four Legged Friends

Good evening ladels and jellyspoons, and welcome to your weekly photo feature. Apologies for the tardiness; I have had some technical and personal difficulties getting posts to press lately. I was thinking I might change the "weekly" in the title to "occasional," but that doesn't have the same ring to it. Either way, I should be getting on top of it presently.

As usual, we've rooted through the Beyond Robson Flickr group to bring you the best and brightest that Vancouver has to offer. Any photos in the Flickr group are eligible for featuring, so if you'd like to use up part of your fifteen minutes start submitting to the group now! It's both free and easy!

Today's theme is our four legged friends.

Photo Feature 19 Oct 2007: Ocean Scenes

mosaic933715.jpg

Hello? Hello? This thing on? Oh good. Greetings Vancouverites! I'm back and ready for action with a super-sized photo feature.

What's a photo feature you ask? Well, it has been a while. Basically, I spend time trolling through the Beyond Robson Flickr group looking for the best and brightest photos, and then I feature them here on the main Beyond Robson page.

Any photo in the group is eligible to be featured, and the group is free to join, so get submitting now if you want to see your name up in lights!

Today we're going with a theme, and it's ocean scenes.

First up is The Calm Before the Storm by esoteRIKphoto. I love everything about this photo, the glassy water on the beach, the arrangement of kayaks and the splash of colour they bring, and most of all the foreboding sky. Truly a brilliant photo.

Next on the list is female diver by petenator. I've always liked this statue, and Peter has taken the best photo of it I've seen in a long time. The one second exposure brings out the detail in the statue and makes the smooth water frame the photo nicely.

Thirdly, which is by no means an indication of rank, is Streaming by Victoria Potter. The fire boat, with water streaming ahead of it. It's a classic image and Victoria has captured it splendidly.

Lastly, again no indication of rank, is Silver Sunset with Ship on Horizon by Mark Klotz. This is a striking image. From the stark black and white contrast to the god rays at the top to the silhouetted ship and mountains on the horizon. Lots of detail and lots of absorb. Stunning, truly stunning.

That's it for this edition of the photo feature. I'll be letting each of the photographers know that they've been featured, but in the mean time lets congratulate them on their fine work!

Look for regular photo features to return next week!

Photo Feature 2 Oct 2007: Themeless

Good morning Vancouverans, and welcome to your Tuesday photo feature. Today we are, as always, looking through the bowels of the Beyond Robson Flickr group to find and highlight the best and brightest photos and photographers in the city.

All you have to do to be eligible to be featured is submit your photos to the group and submitting them to the group is free, so the whole arrangement seems like a no-brainer to me!
