Welcome to Scenic British Columbia, A Vancouver Island Photography Blog

Please bare with me as this is still a relatively new project, and I have a ton of ideas for this site. As time goes by I will be adding more advanced features. I hope you enjoy the photos of my travels, and day to day life on Vancouver Island. Cheers, Daryl Quenet, Vancouver Island Photographer.

Finally The Flowers of Spring, Apple Blossoms

April 03, 2008 (1 Comments)

I have never been one of those people that suffers from winter depression, or that feels out of place in the rain. However as a photographer it can sure suck living in Victoria with our constant rain, nearly permanent winter overcast, and ever blowing wind.

So every year when the flowers start to bloom I start taking my camera to work shooting to my hearts content. Mind you if your shooting spring flowers in Victoria make sure you that you have an Image Stabilized lens, or camera with built in image stabilization to compensate for the wind. Back when I started with digital photography and only had the lower end lenses I can't count how many photos that were ruined by the wind got the better of my subjects.
