Bottom of the Sea

April 8, 2016 by Patrick | 0 Comments

Last Fall I had the chance to go back to my home away from home in the Lower Mainland of Beautiful British Columbia, Canada. It was a good mixture of salmon fishing and Landscape photography.

This particular shot was taken at sunrise near the US/Canadian border. In fact, the land out in the distance is in the US and the foreground in Canada. The tide fluctuations in this region of the world are quite dramatic.   At first I was disappointed to find the sunrise at low tide but then after walking out a ways across the muddy sea bottom I realized that a unique opportunity to showcase the sea floor was at hand.  The person in the other shot is my son who also really enjoyed his time in BC.

I quickly went to work to capture the peak moment of the sunrise as its beautiful red colors reflected on the few remaining pools of water left behind.  I had numerous other opportunities to shoot gorgeous scenes in BC  and will be sharing some more of them in the near future.

 

Thank you for viewing this shot and for sharing in this adventure!

 

 

 

 

Praktični vodnik za Bwin casino online: registracija in stavne zahteve

April 5, 2016 by Patrick | 0 Comments

This is not a generic casino review — this is a practical operator manual for https://bwin-si.si/ players.

What You Need First

  • Veljaven osebni dokument (osebna izkaznica ali potni list) za verifikacijo.
  • E-poštni naslov, ki ga redno uporabljate.
  • Pametni telefon ali računalnik s stabilno internetno povezavo.
  • Plačilna metoda (kreditna kartica, e-denarnica ali bančno nakazilo).
  • Slovenska davčna številka (davčna obveznost pri dobitkih).

Step-by-Step Sign-Up

  1. Obisk spletne strani Bwin Slovenija.
  2. Kliknite gumb \”Registracija\” in izpolnite obrazec: ime, priimek, datum rojstva, naslov.
  3. Vnesite e-poštni naslov in izberite geslo.
  4. Potrdite registracijo prek e-poštne povezave.
  5. Opravite verifikacijo identitete s pošiljanjem kopije osebnega dokumenta.
  6. Prvič vplačajte sredstva in aktivirajte bonus kodo (če jo uporabljate).

How Wagering Works

Pri Bwin casino bonus code je stavna zahteva ključni dejavnik. Recimo, da prejmete bonus 100 € ob vplačilu 100 €. Pogoj je 40-kratni promet na znesek depozita in bonusa. Formula: (depozit + bonus) × 40 = (100 + 100) × 40 = 8.000 €. To pomeni, da morate pred izplačilom staviti 8.000 €. Pri igrah z RTP 96 % je pričakovana izguba: 8.000 × 4 % = 320 €. Tako je pričakovana vrednost bonusa negativna: 100 € – 320 € = –220 €. Za zmanjšanje izberite igre z višjim RTP ali nižjimi stavnimi zahtevami.

Licence & Player Protection

Bwin casino online deluje pod licenco Curacao eGaming. Čeprav licenca zagotavlja osnovno varnost, morate vedeti, da so dobitki iz takšnih igralnic v Sloveniji lahko obdavčeni. Priporočamo, da preverite lokalno zakonodajo. Igralnica uporablja SSL šifriranje in redno pregleduje pravičnost iger s strani tretjih oseb.

Money In, Money Out

Metoda Min. depozit Max. depozit Čas dviga Provizija
Visa/Mastercard 10 € 5.000 € 1–3 dni 0 €
Skrill 10 € 10.000 € 24 ur 0–2 %
Bankovno nakazilo 20 € 10.000 € 3–7 dni lahko 0 €
Neteller 10 € 10.000 € 24 ur 0–1 %

When Things Go Wrong

Pomembno: Večina težav je rešljivih s podporo. Sledite tem korakom:

  • Pozabljeno geslo: Kliknite \”Pozabljeno geslo?\” in sledite navodilom za ponastavitev.
  • Neuspešna verifikacija: Preverite, da so dokumenti berljivi in v skladu s pogoji. Poskusite poslati drugo potrdilo.
  • Zamuda pri izplačilu: Počakajte 24–48 ur, nato kontaktirajte podporo v živo.
  • Bonus ne deluje: Prepričajte se, da ste vnesli pravilno kodo in da je bila upoštevana stavna zahteva.
  • Neželena e-pošta: Odjavite se z nastavitev ali kontaktirajte podporo.

Ali so dobitki obdavčeni?

Kaj narediti, če ne prejmem bonusa?

Preverite, ali ste vnesli bonus kodo ob depozitu in ali izpolnjujete pogoje. Pišite podpori.

Pro Tips

Če se izplačilo zamuja, naredite naslednje:
1. Preverite, ali so vsi dokumenti verifikacije oddani.
2. Počakajte 48 ur (običajen čas obdelave).
3. Kontaktirajte podporo prek klepeta v živo – navedite ID transakcije.
4. Če ni odziva, pošljite pritožba na licenčni organ Curacao.
5. Večina dvigov je izvedenih v 1–3 dneh, le bankovna nakazila trajajo dlje.

Drama at the Falls

March 25, 2016 by Patrick | 0 Comments

 

Out of shape with heart pounding at the San Juan Mountains on St. Patrick’s Day, I slowly traversed up the steep icy/snow covered slope toward the roaring falls. It was a warm spring day which made the icy surface very slick. I was fortunate that someone else had left their boot imprint earlier in the season when the snow was softer allowing me to gain a foothold. Later on, I felt a little foolish when I found out that the north trail was dry which obviously would have been much easier to traverse.

The south path I took was only a ¼ mile hike but because of the conditions it took over 1/2 hour to reach my perch. It was also very windy so the spray from the falls was swirling around making photography difficult. The falls consisted of equal amounts of ice and water. Because of the warm conditions, huge chunks of ice were breaking off the 100′ cliff face making a loud roar as it shattered into pieces at the bottom floor.

On my left as seen in the picture, natural ice sculptures on a self overlooking the falls looked as if they where heavenly bodies monitoring the transformation of winter into spring.

I was fortunate to capture a giant chunk of ice the size of a small boat free falling (bottom central). I purposely increased my shutter speed to better capture the fractured water and ice as it loudly cascaded down the rocky cliff face.  At the base, a large tall glacier had formed from the overspray of the  nearly 100’ tall falls.

I felt blessed to be able to witness nature at its finest as winter was giving way to spring…

Wishing you all a happy blessed Easter!
