Pentax K20D on a GigaPan Epic Pro

Published on 2 Jul 2013

Quick video of my GigaPan Systems Epic Pro and Pentax K20D with Sigma 50-500mm lens. Video was shot with my BlackBerry Q10 with shake reduction on, so yes I'm that shaky.

Local Newspaper gets facts wrong

From: My email address

Sent: Thursday, June 20, 2013 10:35 PM

To: joyce@assiniboiatimes.ca

Subject: article titled “Composting addressed, curbside recycling coming

Dear Assiniboia Times editor,

On the front page of the Assiniboia Times, Volume 102 – Number 25 Friday June 21, 20013 (PMA 40062940 R7925) there is a perfect example of a rush to print without fact checking.

The quote below is from the article titled “Composting addressed, curbside recycling coming”. There is no author/journalist listed for this article.

“’[Composting] had previously been handled by the Munro brothers and they’ve since stopped operating the compost site’... ‘says Green.’”

Now my dad and I got a laugh at that line. For the record, “Assiniboia Compost Inc.” was a not for profit company run by David (my dad) and Glen (myself) Munro. We are not brothers. In the early years of Assiniboia Compost Inc. Kevin Schauenberg helped out and in the later years my nephew Antoni (David’s grandson) also helped out.

Since there is no one listed as the author of this article, I do not know who to contact. As editor, it is your responsibility to ensure all information is correct at the time of publication.

I am asking for an apology and correction to be printed on the front cover of the next issue of the Assiniboia Times.

P.S. The article is continued on page 5 of the newspaper not page 4 as mentioned.

Thanks.

Glen Munro (David Munro’s son)

Here's the original article for those of you who don't get our local newspaper.

HDR Riverhurst Ferry - July 1, 2012

via flickr.com

The sun and clear blue sky were behind us and a summer storm was waiting for us on the other side.

Taken July 1, 2012 on the Riverhurst Ferry, Saskatchewan Canada.

Just as the ferry was leaving the dock, a large crack of thunder sounded.

Luckily the horses in the two horse trailers did seem to be bothered.

One of my favorite non wildlife photos.

Snowy Owl - February 18, 2012

After seeing John E. Marriot's Snowy Owl photos from Vancouver, I had hoped to get some more shots other then my standard sitting on a power pole photo.

Luckily on February 18, I found a Snowy Owl that didn't mind have it's picture taken.

This one was taken on the side of highway south of Wood Mountain, SK Canada.

After pulling over onto a grid road I was able to get some more photos.
Below is a picture of where I shot most of my Snowy Owl photos from...

Started out from the driver's side door...

I walked to back of my SUV, opened the back hatch and sat there for a while...

I decided to cross the highway and got halfway across the road (luckily it's not a busy highway) before it took off...

4 Hawks on a Fence

Okay so it really isn't 4 different hawks. Just the same hawk in different positions.

Here's the original hawk photos from my Flickr Photostream.

I then masked in the background from a previous trip to Scout Lake community pasture.

Coronach Postcard

A few weeks ago (Okay, it was over a month ago), I was told about a photo contest for promoting a local community (Coronach, Saskatchewan) via Postcards. (Yes, people still send those.)

I submitted a few photos, hoping that one would get selected...

It turns out they wanted to use 3 of the submitted photos, plus another one from my Flickr stream to create a “Wildlife in Coronach” postcard. (I changed the create commons rights to the Flickr photos.)

Wow, I was really honoured, but could not tell my followers (Posterous / Twitter / Facebook) till now.

A good friend of mine told me at lunch that she had read an article in the Coronach Triangle News about these postcards. I have yet to see the article.

You should send the Triangle News an email... tell them to post the article online so that you can see the other winners.

Here’s the final postcard

Stay tuned to this site, or Twitter or Facebook... I’ll see if I can get some to give away to a lucky follower or two.
