I have been neglecting my YouTube channel. I have material waiting to be compiled into video clips but instead it just sits on one of many external drives. I have started to develop my B&W film again and exposed films are now starting to pile up because I have been going to camera club meetings. I am in the same boat as you, but if the weather is good this weekend, I'm going to throw my hand up in the air and go for a ride and snicker at Jack <EM>(as he can't ride until March 20th)</EM>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-67243599057325966102009-03-04T18:33:00.000-08:002009-03-04T18:33:00.000-08:00I keep swearing I will undertake the journey of be...I keep swearing I will undertake the journey of becoming a competent photographer. Somehow I never seem to find time between riding, working, and blogging!

So I can appreciate what you shared with us very well and can tell you have some valuable gear.<BR/>I am familiar with the road you describe...It is very beautiful indeed but then again we are blessed with many beautiful places in British Columbia...What's there not to like, eh?<BR/>Take care and keep wellBaron's Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05363887015251189502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-48872953933759085522009-03-03T15:40:00.000-08:002009-03-03T15:40:00.000-08:00hey Breve:Are you into photography ?

The one I used on Saturday is actually known officially as a SUPER IKONTA 530, pre-war probably made during the mid 1930's. For North American they changed the number sequence and called it the Super Ikonta A. I also have a Super Ikonta C which is 6x9 format, and a Russian copy called a Moskva 2. I have been doing photography for longer than I have been riding, and I started riding in the mid 1960's so once in a while I will do a Photog essay.<BR/><BR/>There happens to be a lot of trees around the Boundary Bay Airport which are just full of Bald Eagles (for some unknown reason). When I saw that tree I just had to stop and take a pix. Take Hwy 17 towards Tsawwassen, then head east on Ladner Trunk Road for about a mile or two and turn right towards the Airport. Perfect roads for riding. Little traffic and lots of farmland.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-26974826486334594562009-03-03T14:53:00.000-08:002009-03-03T14:53:00.000-08:00Bob,Impressive lot of equipment..bet you that Zeis...Bob,<BR/><BR/>Impressive lot of equipment..bet you that Zeiss camera is worth a fortune now.<BR/><BR/>Great pictures of the Bald eagles in Delta.

I just love your <B>STYLE</B>. Sorry for the short absence <EM>(makes for fonder hearts)</EM>. I noticed that Steve (scooter in the sticks) is still working on his 3 picture project and here I am with all this equipment and doing nothing except digital. I decided that I would resume developing again but all my stuff has expired. Both film and chemicals have dated lives. Plus I have a sizeable camera collection. During the past month I have been going to camera get-togethers and tonight is "our" camera meeting. I belong <EM>(or used to)</EM> the <B>Western Historic Photographic Camera Association</B>, just a group of OLD guys, shooting with OLD cameras and talking about the OLD days before digital <EM>(ie: just like us BLOGGERS) </EM><BR/><BR/>Except for the ice and snow of December/January, I have been riding constantly but nothing exciting. Just normal stuff like meeting friends for Sat AM breakfast and doing errands. No joy rides yet but you have already seen lots of pictures of these Haunts so without something new to post -- I didn't. Plus the fact that there have been massive snow storms in the eastern US and I didn't want to rub in the fact that we were basking in Spring like weather. It even got up to 15c (~59F) on Sunday, but this weekend the cold front is returning with mixed snow and rain.<BR/><BR/>There is a Pi Rally in a couple of weeks down in Bellingham, WA<BR/><BR/>http://scoot4pi.angelfire.com/<BR/><BR/>Starting from Breakfast the ride starts and stops at PIE places along the way so we can eat and be merry. It I had one of your Sorry Harp Seal look T-shirts perhaps I could find Angie's or Gina's sister and just forget about those pies, I can catch up later . . .<BR/><BR/>bob<BR/><A HREF="http://www.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">bobskoot: wet coast scootin</A>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-29576653083279229252009-03-03T09:04:00.000-08:002009-03-03T09:04:00.000-08:00I meant to add, that with your skill and equipment...I meant to add, that with your skill and equipment, I stand no chance in the photographic competition department.<BR/><BR/>JackJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-47787536761970829032009-03-03T09:03:00.000-08:002009-03-03T09:03:00.000-08:00Dear Bob:If you want to see some utter dynamic pho...Dear Bob:<BR/><BR/>If you want to see some utter dynamic photographs taken during a ride, you need to look at REDLEGS RIDES. The link can be found on my blog. The author is Domingo Chang, who fnds some really interesting backdrops in the rockies. The result is great pictures of mountains, vallies, rock formations and some unusual destinations. I am trying to combine his sense of the dramatic, with Conch's devotion to editorial detail, and Steve's ability to work with what's at hand to make more dramatic photo presentations.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I checked your blog every day for a week for this last post. If the weather is as nice in your locale as the pictures indicate, you should be riding around all over the place.<BR/><BR/>Fondest regards,<BR/>Jack<BR/>Twisted RoadsJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.com
