Obsessed with Bridges!

Lately it seems I have been photographing a lot on bridges. I can't blame myself for that, they just give the greatest views of everything! Another piece of life altering news! My Pentax film camera is now fixed and all 24 exposures turned out (compared to 7 or 8 before)!

Today's post has some shots of "typical" vancouver. The sky was in a good "mood" and had a half cloud half blue sky look, which photographed great! No editing done, even though the second picture looks really contrast'y'.

Which one do you like more? Which one shows Vancouver better? Let me know!

Tourist Deathtrap!

Photographing areas that are well known and tourist ridden is one of the hardest tasks for a photographer. Here are two photos, one of Notre Dame in Paris, and the other of Rockefeller Plaza in New York. In both of these photos I tried to show different angles, or just something that looked interesting compared to those dreaded postcard photos...

<---- sorry about that dumb building you can see on the left of the photo

What do you think about these photos? Did I portray the areas nicely, any suggestions?

Self Portaits

Hello everyone! Exams have preoccupied most of my time lately, I haven't forgotten about you! Here are some recent photos I took on my film camera. Capturing a self portrait on film is very hard because a) different types of mirrors have different effects on photos b) film gives you no preview before you print and develop so you don't want to waste a lot of film on these types of shots but you still want them c) although surroundings do not take up much of the frame, they are very important for the atmosphere. Let me know which one you like the most!

Rodin Museum

In class exams are over ! Yay ! Here are three different shots of the same building. I want you to think about which one captures the essence of the building better and the pond better. Please comment, these are important issues!

Rosie - my puppy

Here are some photos of my two year old dog Rosie. She is a cockapoo cavalier. Which one do you like more? Eye contact or no eye contact?Close up or far away?

I think dogs are the hardest to shoot because they don't understand you, obviously, and you look really strange making noises to catch their attentions. Have you ever tried to take a photo of a dog, what is your story?

Too Blue?

A lot of new photographers these days add a billion effects to their pictures to have that "2010" look. Well... What is your opinion? Is this photo too blue?

p.s. try and guess where this was taken.

Classic Vs. Vibrant

A vibrant color picture of beautiful pink flowers.

A very classic looking picture of a leaf.

Both taken on my film K1000, both show two perspectives of how nature can be photographed.

Which one do you like more? Classic or vibrant?

Vancouver at its Finest

Vancouver! How I love you. Here is another set of two different perspectives of basically the same thing.

Which one do you enjoy more?

A Light Show

Here is a photo from the daily fireworks shows during the Olympics.

Each using a slow shutter speed to have that fireworks effect

Let me know if you like it! Is this a kind of style th

at looks good to you?

Same idea but with a waterfall.

Do you like this one more?

I was a new photographer so I lowered the shutter speed a little too much! My bad!
