Pictures from Vancouver

ArosaMike · December 18th, 2005, 4:23 AM

I'm in Vancouver for Christmas, so I've been busy with the old D70 snapping away. Exercised my telephoto too which has been good. For some of my efforts from the last week you can check them out here:

Out of all of them so far though, my favourites are:

and

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v427/ArosMike/Vancouver/Grouse_0076.jpg

Both taken from the top of Grouse Mountain which is about 4000ft I think. It was a really spectacular sunset, and both were taken with my 300mm lense images/smilies/smile.gif

Wow, so beautiful photos there.

I think the city picture could be edited a bit to make the lights come out a bit more something like this:

I really liked these pictures:

Seriously awesome pics man.

ArosaMike · December 18th, 2005, 4:39 AM

Yeah, I know what you mean about the colours. I don't have photoshop here so will have to wait till I get back to the UK to play around with the images, but there are a few I want to try different effects with. Thanks for your appreciation images/smilies/smile.gif

jayjaya29 · December 18th, 2005, 4:51 AM

No problem, wasn't aware of your situation, I saved the pic and played around with it and was amazed with how much better it looked. Like you said, some of the others could use some help to make them look even better than they are now.

I'm still looking at this one:

Such a great pic.

jeffy777 · December 18th, 2005, 4:53 AM

That sunset one above is top-notch images/smilies/thumbup.gif

whoster · December 18th, 2005, 5:02 AM

you have one problem with your night landscapes.

you need crank the f-stop to f9-f11 in order to get sharp, long-exposure night shots

shooting at night at f4-5 will result in blurred shots even with the long exposure.

ArosaMike · December 18th, 2005, 6:32 AM

Interesting that you say that. When I was actually downtown taking photos I discovered that, so between the one jayjay linked to and this one below I changed from using a low f-stop I cranked it up to 14 images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Picture of Vancouver's English Bay taken right from my balcony... with my mobile phone it must be said:

jeffy777 · December 18th, 2005, 9:11 AM

awesome pic, and good quality for a phone!

Shawn · December 18th, 2005, 9:13 AM

Yeah, only a 1.01 megapixel camera, but the lens was quite good. I have a 1.3 megapixel phone right now, and the quality is horrible... I pretty much never use the camera at all.

Shawn · December 18th, 2005, 9:25 AM

Some more pictures of Vancouver... the quality isn't good, but look what showed up in my yard:

ArosaMike: Cool picts! Was the track that you photographed part of a snowcat? (thing that grooms the snow?)

Shawn_230: As for the best skiing in the Americas, I think I'll have to differ! Alta takes the cake.
