In Northern BC Somewhere

The final destination on my September Road trip was to my friends place in Northern BC. There house is located just off the highway is the middle of the Peace Country. I have been coming down here for the past 3 years and enjoy the land. Especially when I actually get out in it. Grande Prairie is not to far off and trips into it are often done.

This is also a river not to far off from their place, which I love going too. The water is extremely low this year and where I have my jeep parked would normally be in water. I happened to be there at dusk one evening and was trying longer exposures with my camera

One thing i haven’t figured out though, is how to counter act the sky and other light when trying to get the motion effect of flowing water. Tips?

Quotes to think about

I love Disney and Pixar, they are my favourite. I often times think about the quotes they have in their movies and this got me thinking even more.

I’ll always remember the quote, which is right from Walt Disney himself, that goes something like this “We need to keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” I love this quote and live by it everyday.

The other quote that sticks out at me is one by Tow Mater of Car, which was created by Disney and Pixar, and it goes something like “don’t need to know where I’m going, just need to know where I’ve been.”

I think both quotes are great, but are contradicting. Ones says we should always be looking forward and the other says we should be looking at where we’ve been. This is no big deal and I guess they each have their own place in the world, just thought it was odd.

Thoughts?
