This is Friday Photography, edition 103. I usually post up eight of the best photos I can find on the internet during the week.

You’ve probably noticed that I haven’t had a lot of time to write lately, mainly because school is very busy this term. Then when I’m finished in April I’ll likely be moving to whatever small town newspaper that will hire me, so there will be a huge upheaval then.

This is Friday Photography Edition 102. All photographs are credited where the owner is known.

There was an unusual level of high quality photos out there this week, so for FP number 101 I have selected 10 photos. All of the photos belong to other people as indicated in attribution, or are commonly shared without photo credit.

I handed in 25 sports photos for my photojournalism assignment today. I’ve saved the top four for you. The first one I selected as my best. All the photos were taken on Nov. 5, 2010 during the Vancouver Giants hockey game.

Hard to believe that I only have three weeks left in my first term at journalism school. So far it’s been great, but unfortunately I’ve had to neglect the old blog. One course I’ve really enjoyed is photojournalism. I’ve submitted a few shots from this term before the regular Friday Photography pics.

West Hastings in downtown Vancouver. Nov. 02, 2010. Shot with 55m focal length at 1/320 @f/11 aperture and ISO 800.

Scramble in front of the Vancouver Giants net during a game against the Kelowna Rockets. Nov. 05, 2010. Shot with 260mm focal length at 1/250 @ f/10 aperture and ISO 1600.

View of the North Shore mountains in Vancouver from East 33rd Avenue. Nov. 9, 2010. Shot with 230mm focal length at 1/40 @ f/32 aperture and ISO 1600.

Stanley Chaykowsky, 89, Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, served in Great Britain and Italy. Wounded in action in 1943 in Sicily. Nov. 11, 2010. Shot with 97.5mm focal length at 1/100 @ f/4 aperture at ISO 1600.

And now for the pros:

It’s been a few weeks since I did Friday Photography, but a little trip to Afghanistan did get in the way. I’ll try to continue the segment, but I can’t promise anything since school is kind of hectic. Added to today’s collection is a contribution of my own.
