Picture of the Week: Snow in April

On Mon­day, I was pub­lish­ing a photo arti­cle on “Early Spring in the Farm”, and I was jok­ing about jinx­ing the nice weather. Well, looks like I did (sorry Ottawa!).

Picture of the Week: Slush

The weather has been very strange for the past few days. We had snow, bliz­zard, very strong winds, warmer tem­per­a­tures, hail, drift­ing snow and then cold tem­per­a­tures. This resulted in dirty snow banks and some slush.

Picture of the Week: Snow Melting

I used to be very excited to see snow but the nov­elty ran out after two of three win­ters there. The first snow­fall is often beau­ti­ful and it’s weird to see the city blan­keted in white—the change of scenery is bru­tal, espe­cially when it’s very cold and snow does stay on the ground. But Canada’s harsh win­ters can also be a pain, a hin­drance to every­day life.

After The Rain

The other day was one of these blah days. I was soaked by the time I got home. I ditched my bag on the floor and grabbed the cam­era with my favourite prime lens for a quick photo shoot—I wasn’t going to get any wetter.

Picture of the Week: Double Rainbow

By the Exper­i­men­tal Farm, where we live, thun­der­storms are always impres­sive, maybe because the farm is a flat empty space. The other day, it started rain­ing even though it was sunny out­side. A few min­utes later, we spot­ted this beau­ti­ful dou­ble rainbow.

Picture of the Week: 42ºC

42ºC. Holy crap.
Dis­claimer: I didn’t take that pic­ture (I was in my air-con cubi­cle sip­ping a cold can of soda), Feng snapped it this after­noon.
A few weeks ago, I explained that sum­mers in Canada were typically …

Winter Melting Away

Winter Melting Away

We started to hear new noises around here. Birds chirp­ing in the trees, the con­stant water­fall noise of water flow­ing in the drains and in the sew­ers, the “splotch splotch” sound when walk­ing on soaked grass. The snow is melt­ing fast, thanks to warmer tem­per­a­tures. Noth­ing to get excited about though, it’s only about 3°C and the North­ern wind is still cold. Yet, it’s a begin­ning. Win­ter is melt­ing away.

Snow & Slush

Since I’m back to a 9-to-5 sched­ule, I take my week-ends rather seri­ously. Unfor­tu­nately, the pow­er­ful Cana­dian weather Gods con­spired against me. It is March, really? Doesn’t feel like it. I know we skipped most of the win­ter but this doesn’t mean I wanted to expe­ri­ence it in March!

Pumpkins and Snow

Pumpkins and Snow

I don’t get Hal­loween. Even though some of the ear­li­est Hal­loween tra­di­tions started in Europe, we didn’t cel­e­brate it at all when I was a kid in France. It was pri­mar­ily a North Amer­i­can tra­di­tion we knew about because of the U.S. hor­ror movies. But about 15 years ago, Hal­loween saw a resur­gence in pop­u­lar­ity in France with the help of a huge mar­ket­ing cam­paign led by major Amer­i­can com­pa­nies such as McDon­alds’, Eurodis­ney and Coke.

5 Weather Photography Tips (IV)

You heard me com­plain­ing about Canada’s extreme weather more than once, but to be hon­est, I enjoy it. First, you never get bored; sec­ond, it offers some great pho­tog­ra­phy oppor­tu­ni­ties. Stormy skies, snowy morn­ings and rainy days are a chance to get some great shots. Yes, stay­ing in is tempt­ing as well… but you can always have your hot choco­late when you get back home!
