CP-107 Argus

Here are a few pictures of a CP-107 Argus on display in CFB Comox... I have vague recollections of being in the observation nose of one during a military family day many, many years ago.

This last photo is a pano of about 8 shots that is stitched together.

An unusual sight

While walking along the beach in Comox, I noticed a CH-149 Cormorant flying about. I took a few photos from a distance. They didn't turn out well but you can see the helicopter hovering near what appears to be a coat guard vessel. I were to make a guess, 442 Squadron was doing a hoisting exercise.

Comox Beach Photos

Here are a few Beach shots from December. The photos are along Holmes point and the Sandspit in the Comox Valley

A few more Eagle Shots

The weather in Comox was terrible so I didn't get many quality opportunities to get shots of eagles. Here is a shot sequence I took on an overcast day. Had to Shoot ISO 400 and f/4.0 to get anything... the Lens was f/2.8 70-200mm with 1.4 extender.

This particular perch is near Portuguese Joe's... a fish monger that every once and a while puts fish guts on the beach. The Eagles pay a visit every once and a while to see if there are getting ready to dispose of the fish.

Comox Harbour Pano shots

Here are a few Pano shots of Comox harbour taken over Christmas. The first shot is of the fishing boats on the south end of the pier. The other three shots are further North along the boardwalk. The shots are made by stiching 8-12 together to make a 180 degree view.

Waterfalls and ND filters

In my August blog post (here) I tried using a 8 ND filter with some waterfalls while on vacation. The overall effect was pleasing, but the exposure times were only a few seconds. It later dawned on me, lets try stacking the ND 2, 4, and 8 filter together, then put the Circular Polarizer on top as well.

The weather wasn't the best, with it being overcast, but I managed to get some 25-30 second exposures of waterfalls.

The first set of photos are of 'Nymph falls' near black creek.

The last few shots are from Elk Falls:
