Reflections - Vancouver pt. 4

As promised, here are some of the 'reflection' photos I took this week in Vancouver. The last one shows one of my first Gastown photowalk photos with Brook. It's a favourite, these come in a close second. Enjoy! 



A City Of Texture & Shape - Vancouver pt. 3

So, while Brook and I walked around Vancouver yesterday, I found myself looking up and down a lot. It was fun taking photos of the non-conventional things that we all take for granted sometimes. I like how these ones turned out! Stay tuned for tomorrow's "Reflections" post!   



In Through The Out Door. Vancouver pt. 2

Brook and I sat in front of these rotating doors for about 15 minutes. I think I took about 20 photos of them. We were looking for one of them to be spinning while the other stayed still. Also, the reflections in the windows were always changing depending on what was speeding by on the sidewalk in front of us or behind us. See the two of us in the reflection bottom right? It was a really cool photographer's moment!

Vancouver

Everytime I go to Vancouver, I am in awe all over again when I look up at the buildings. They are a combination of old meeting new and seem to balance each other. The next few posts will be from our photo walk today. Brook and I were in fine form again....meandering around the streets, sometimes losing each other, and at other times, we found ourselves taking the same photo but not noticing each other doing it. It was a successful, relaxing day today.

Gibsons weekend

Ursula, Eliza, and I went to Ursula's family home in Gibson's this weekend. It was a beautiful home with lots of history and beautiful serene views, sounds of birds and boats in the marina, and just peace. Was a good refreshing couple of days.

Any Way The Wind Blows....

If you only knew how long Brook and I worked on getting this shot...hehehee. We looked like a couple of kids blowing on dandilions over and over and over again. It was a very educational and interesting experiment. Out of approximately 50 photos, this is the one that worked. Enjoy!

HDR

We went for a walk at UBC today. I've been looking a lot at shape and texture lately. This was one I chose to take and try my hand at HDR again using the program Photomatix. It brings out a lot of the shine in the railing and it sort of appears 'raised'. I like it.
