Ripley's Aquarium of Canada

I've been meaning to go to this place for a while. I was hesitant because it was a bit pricey in my opinion. It's still new so when I got in, it was nice and clean. The weekends are still pretty rammed. Probably around 1 hour wait to get in, but I decided to go on a Monday night. Still seemed like there were quite a lot of people. It wasn't as big as I thought it would be, but it was entertaining. I was in the gift shop on the way out and noticed some turtle plush toys but then realized I didn't see any live turtles in the aquariums.

Here are some photos that I took while I was there. 

Unplugged Expo 2013

Here are a few pictures of my friends cosplaying Shingeki No Kyojin characters at Unplugged Expo 2013. See more photos after the break.

I took this picture a while back when I went to Vancouver to see my sister. This is one of her dogs, Scout. He is a handsome dog, but very energetic and hectic when new people are introduced into his environment.

Red Flower

I'm no flower connoisseur. I don't know what this flower is called. In any case, yet another shot where I used my 100mm macro lens. Enjoy.

So today I went down to the habour front to go look around and wait for the airshow to start. It was scheduled for 1PM then rescheduled at 1:20. I still didn't see any planes flying around so I just took a stroll and used my macro lens to shoot stuff. This is one of the things I was able to shoot.

I went to Importfest Toronto recently. Thought these were interesting because of the colours. They set them up at the entrance.

Doing an experiment... the last car photo I uploaded got quite a number of views so I want to see if these will get some views too.

Pepper Plant

Here's my pepper plant but it hasn't grown any peppers yet. This is just the flower. Hopefully I'll be able to keep this guy alive and get some peppers.

Atop the Peace Tower

This photo has a few firsts for me. This was the first time in my life going into Parliament Hill, first time going up the Peace Tower and the first time I'm posting a photo I shot with an iPhone. I used the panorama function of the iPhone to create this vertorama.

This was one of the places that my cousin and I went to during Doors Open Ottawa.

2013 Subaru Impreza WRX at the 2013 Canadian International Autoshow in Toronto. I haven't uploaded a car picture in a very long time and this was in my bank of photos so I figure I'd upload it sometime.

Pool at An Lam

So here is the pool at An Lam Resort. Probably one of the coolest resorts I've been to. You get your own little villa on the island and there's basically nothing around. You can go hiking and there are activities to do but otherwise you stay here to relax. You arrive to this resort by boat. Just so happens that my dad has a boat that this place rents out for trips. So we arrived by his boat, unannounced.

Golden Gate Bridge

In the previous photo, I mentioned I was taking in the sights of San Francisco before GDC. It wouldn't have been a complete trip if I didn't see the Golden Gate Bridge. I went on a boat tour to see the bridge and Alcatraz. It was extremely windy on the water. Good thing I had my spring jacket with me. My coworker just had a T-shirt on and he was suffering pretty bad.

Jellyfish

This is the first shot I've uploaded that I took with my 35mm lens. I took these photos while I was at the aquarium at Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39. Had some time to kill during the weekend before GDC so I took in the sights of San Francisco.

Petronas Towers

Petronas Towers from up close. I've been incredibly lazy about uploading pictures. I really should try a bit harder. So here's me trying harder. But I probably won't try hard enough to edit the photo, trying to become a better photographer without Photoshop or Lightroom editing.
