Gallery updated and random stuff
“Humanified” Ginko and Yoshi ^o^/
Managed to get husband to help me look into updating the gallery plug in a while back, but only remember to update the gallery now ^^;/

Canon Lens EF 50mm 1:1.4
Some relatives from out of town came and went and Husband got a suddenly aquired lens, I tried it out (with husband’s T1i) quickly one evening and I love it! :)
As you know we have 2 active young furkids, Ginko and Yoshi, they become the instant subjects. (Above is Ginko)
Richmond Olympic Oval
Chanced upon the near completed Richmond Olympic Oval in the middle of some errands not long ago, but didn’t have time to look thru pix until now. ^^; While I personally think it’s not as cool as the life size Odaiba Gundam — by the way loads more pix/links at dannychoo.com, husband and I were quite impressed by our quick visit with how it looks so far ^^!
Tea and Coffee hunt
It was a beautiful weekend, the husband and I went to hunt for a couple things we needed in downtown Vancouver as we couldn’t find them in Richmond ^^; We chanced upon a couple girls wearing kimonos during our hunt ^^; The couple photos I took is cropped a bit closer from the originals as the zoom feature on our Lumix LX3 is quite limited. I am still quite impressed with the amount of details on the girl’s outfits which showed up in the photos tho!
Lumix LX3 – out and about
Took Lumix LX3 out for another run yesterday as I needed to go out anyways. The weather was spectacular but I think I got too much pollen in my system by last evening and suffered a massive sinus headache by the end of last nite on top of my flu. ^^; Anyhows, in this post you’ll see pictures of places, random stuff and food pictures.
Please note, some of the landscape photos (like the one below), you can click on to access larger version ^^/
One of my favourite weeds I mean wild flowers, butter cups! :3 I took a whole lot of photos of them and realised that yellow tend to not turn out very well. I had shot the day’s series of photos in Raw format too, and edited a handful of them to make some details show up better.
Lumix LX3
Our current 3 year old point and shoot digital camera is not meeting our expectations these days, especially during low light condition. So me and hubsband decided to give LX3 a try — thanks to seeing some recommendations in the comments on dannychoo.com and Danny’s own photos. The nice thing about some (not all) of the stores in Canada is that we at least have a 14 day return policy, so we can actually try the camera for that period of time to see if it’s a keeper :)

So far we’re still trying to get used to the different features and functions, so not all photos are picture perfect. So if you’re curious to see what pictures we took with the LX3, this entry is for you :) Be warned tho, there’s food pix ahead!
