Last week I had the chance to try out the Nikon V1 camera. It was quite small and light compared to my Nikon D90 and it fit in my jacket pocket quite easily. I had a Nikon 10mm f/2.8 prime and a Nikon 10-100mm f/4-5.6 lens to play around with but since I was at False Creek, I decided to use the 10mm prime more. A lot of the functions I had to go digging around the menus to find which is probably why I would never give up my DSLR.
Understandably from a camera with a sensor smaller than a 4/3′s camera, there was quite a bit of noise. I also found that the lens wasn’t very sharp as I would have liked. Every time I used the timer function, I would have to go back into the menu and turn the timer on again for the next shot. The size of the V1 would be ideal for travelling but at the price its currently selling at, I personally would give it a pass.

I’ve been trying to get out again to shoot more regularly. While over twitter, I found out my friends @GluttonwithaCam and @mananetwork started to organize some local photowalks. Of course I jumped at the opportunity to join them on an evening photowalk through downtown. Though it was a damp and wet night, its a start of things to come as I find myself doing more photowalks in 2012.
Our group also consisted of @dangerphoto, @TiannaNK, @bdashaler, @thepatrickleung and we walked, climbed, and hopped our way through downtown and the Vancouver east side. After shooting photos of cars for the past 7 months, I admit I’m a little rusty but being a part of this group will inspire me to get back into the loop!

We finally launched the site just over a week ago and its been generating some great buzz with the local car scene giving us their support. The blog is called Art of Stance. Its what’s been the focus of most of my time and energy these days and I hope it becomes something my readers will check out also! Here’s a preview of what you can look forward to.

As you readers know, I’m from the beautiful city of Vancouver. The Vancouver Canucks are in the Stanley Cup Final and there is much excitement in the city. Though I’m not fond of the early start times or the fact that there was only one weekend game, it feels like the Olympics again and it feels great!
Unfortunately I haven’t updated in over a month for a couple of reasons. Some if has to do with laziness, but I haven’t been shooting as much lately. I’ve also been working on a new site with a few photographer friends that will be quite exciting. For the past month I’ve been shooting mostly cars. I don’t do a lot of car photography but that is beginning to change more and more. On with some shots.
