Pacific Shores takes delivery of art

In other news, Pacific Shores, just took delivery of the largest canvas piece of artwork I have ever done - 4x9 ft.  It's a panoramic shot of the light streaming on on a sunny (and foggy day) at Cathedral Grove.  I'll have pictures to follow; it is currently featured as the backdrop to the front desk at the checkin.

I meant to get pictures of me with it before delivery - you'd think we would be able to find a camera! 

You can see a much higher res version on Alecwatson.com in the landscape section.  I shot it on one of the first days that I had my new Hasselblad H3D 39.  It is a vertical stitch of 6 shots - there is a LOT of resolution!  The file is about 700 megs.

Moraine Lake

Suzanne (Photographer Suzanne Teresa) and I travel a Lot, but, of course, most of that travel has to do with commercial clients; I always try to take some time out at these destinations and take some pictures for me.  We recently returned from Lake Louise, actually it was Moraine Lake that I shot; I have ALWAYS wanted to go there.  We spent an entire afternoon on a fantastic sunny fall day at the top of the moraine, waiting for the the light to be just right.   LOL - it never did get just right - I was waiting to sunset to sweep the sun around and light the mountains . . . now I know why no one has ever taken that picture - it just doesn't quite scoot far enough - TOO BAD!  Anyway, I have posted some of my favourite shots on the infrared section of alecwatson.com.  You can see this one in much higher res there.

Alecwatson.com is up!

Well it sure took long enough!  . . . I guess that's the down side of being the tech.  First comes computer maintenance, but since stphotoworks.com changed ALL computers over to new Macs, there has been a LOT less tech to deal with . . . it's okay, Microsoft isn't a client.  

I have finally posted the mkI version of Alecwatson.com.

It's a little in consistent still, but it sure is nice to see my work on monitors at a little higher res, than 800x600 - no one actually uses dial-up anymore do they?

Over the next while, between shooting, maintaining Suzanneteresa.com . . . or maybe I should say teaching Suzanne to run Suzanneteresa.com  and all the post work that goes on around here, I am going to do my best to start up the teaching thing again with ramblings about our photographic workflow, tech problems (and fixes) and techniques.

So check back often to read about current projects, travels, and trials ;-0

Cheers, Alec
