Every morning when I get out of the house on my way to work I am witness to some kind of magical sunrise. Problem is I am always in a hurry to get to work in time so I hardly have time to run back in to the house, set up my heavy artillery (1Ds Mark III) so usually I just shrug it off and go on my way.
When I got the Canon PowerShot G10, this all changed. Grabbing a shot is now as easy as taking the camera out of my jacket pocket and taking the shot. So here is one (less dramatic) example of what I used to miss out on.
On my way to work in the morning, I used to drive past this boring house and boring green tree that really did not grab my attention. This was summer. So along came fall and the house is still boring and the tree even more boring. Until winter arrived. It seemed like all the other trees got the cue to shed their leaves, however this tree lagged behind them. Coupled with the brilliant white of the house behind it, a boring scene changed into something truly amazing. So I had to stop my car, get out and grab this shot.
I took a drive through Assiniboine park, and grabbed some quick snaps of the recent snow fall.
