Serenity in Burnaby Lake
March 31, 2010  |  by William Zhou  |  Featured, Photography

5:00AM – Woke up
6:00AM – Arrived at Edwin, my friend’s place. Off to Burnaby Lake
7:00AM – Shoot! No sunrise, what a waste of time (not)!

It was another assignment from my photo class. However, this time, it’s in film. Of course, if I’m going, I would bring my dSLR with me. So off we go, thinking we could catch the sunrise… except there isn’t any. Although Edwin and I were disappointed, it wasn’t all that bad considering that the weather report says it will be raining. The day became even better when a couple came by to feed the geese/birds. Note to self for next time: bring bread crumbs for birds if shooting in the wilderness. Anyhow, it was more or less a casual shoot and it didn’t last long before both of us were hungry.

Serenity
This was the first shot when I arrived on the deck. Pretty neat considering there was no sunrise.

Staring Out
Edwin tried to throw rocks at the geese, but they don’t seem to care.

Layered Feathers
With a mid range zoom, this is how close I can get from the geese. They really don’t care. Maybe it’s just the morning.

As always, leave a comment and let me know what you like, dislike, and let me know how I can improve.
