Started off photographing people walking around Queen’s campus and then veered away. It is difficult to stick with a theme during these last weeks of the semester. The next two weeks will likely be a random amalgamation of photographs. Starting in December I shall try for a theme week. Anyways here are last weeks photos:

-->

2013 11 11 – Students walk across the street at Union and University on Queen’s Campus. Later that night was the first sign of snow here in Kingston, as a few flakes fell.

-->

2013 11 12 – A Queen’s student bikes across University Avenue on this beautiful day. It was a nice crisp cool day with winds coming from the Northwest and a wind-chill around -7 degC, a sign that winter is on its way. 

-->

2013 11 13 – Queen’s students walk down Earl Street beyond the Athletics and Recreational Centre.

-->

2013 11 14 – A Queen’s student spins a hula-hoop during a Health and Wellness Showcase in the Athletics and Recreational Centre main gym. The hula-hoop was invented in 1911 but the use of twirling something around ones waist has been around for a long time.

2013 11 16 – Traffic drives down Princess Street just after work at 5:00 p.m. The sun was up for 9 hours 34 minutes and 44 seconds, setting at 4:37 p.m.

2013 11 17 – A wide array of fossils spanning across a large time scale (400 Million Years) and a wide range of locations makes up a portion of my mineral and fossil collection. Approximately 1/3 of the fossils I found, 1/3 was given to me out collecting and the other 1/3 I purchased.

(22nd Week Photographing) 

By Corey Lablans Photography

There was no consistency with this past week’s photos but I really like the diversity. The week was a weather sandwich starting off nice and sunny, then switching to high winds and rain, finally finishing off with nice weather. 

2013 10 28 – An eastern chipmunk sits on a branch at Lemoine Point Conservation Area during later afternoon. There are three main families of chipmunk: the eastern, western and Siberian chipmunk with the western chipmunk having numerous members. 

2013 10 29 – The Grant Hall tower is seen behind beautiful maple leaves that have turned colour. The original clock was mechanically operated but was changed in 1993 to an electrical mechanism. The original mechanism can be observed in Stirling Hall. 

2013 10 30 – Over the last two days I have been studying a math test on implicit differentiation, related rates, Taylor polynomials and optimization. Anyways, didn’t get around to taking a photo today until now, so I decided to represent the last two days through this photo, while having fun with lighting.

2013 10 31 – A guy walks down Albert Street dressed in an unusual mixture of Captain America and a frilly tutu on Halloween. There are five main categories of tutus: Romantic, Classical (Pancake), Balanchine/Karinska and the Platter.

In 1941 Captain America appeared in the first of the Captain America comics.

2013 11 01 – Queen’s students try to escape a rushing wave breaking over the pier wall near Break Water Park. Wind gusts were reaching speeds of approximately 100km/h causing huge waves to develop.
