Iron Bridge


This is a bridge just south of Bathurst and Front, near the Rock Oasis (my climbing gym). Some post-processing was done to get this effect, obviously.

Cap Art

This is a composite of the cappuccino that you can get at Manic Coffee, at about 426 College Street West. A friend from mountain biking opened it up recently. It's the best coffee I have ever tasted!

Labs Inc.

I guess I missed a couple of days...oh well. Here's another photo of my friend's STM. These are all portholes to look at what is going on inside.

Peeler

My friends were looking to rent out their house...but I think they should repaint the garage!

Burnination

This is part of the machine that my friend built. It is a 'scanning tunnelling microscope', or STM, which allows you to visualize things as small as atoms! Amazing. Here he is preparing the surface of the silicon wafer that he is going to look at by running a current through it and heating it up a LOT.

Painting

Another from Frontenac Provincial Park. I think this could almost be like a painting. It's hard to take nice landscape shots in a single photo with a 50mm lens (80mm equivalent on a dSLR). Thank goodness for that bridge, or it would have been really boring.

Here's another picture I took while on my trip to Kingston at Frontenac park. It is made up of 5 vertical images. You can see it bigger here or even bigger here. The great thing about panoramics is that there is a tonne of detail in every part of the picture, because it's more than one picture!

sssnake

Guess I should do something with this blog. Here's a picture, on a recent trip to Kingston. I went hiking at the Frontenac Provincial Park, and we saw and caught the little guy below. We let him go really fast though, don't worry. It was a 'catch and release'. We saw some way bigger ones later too, but we didn't pick them up, and none of them fit in the palm of a hand. Click on it to see it big. It looks way better.
