We had another super nice day in Vancouver. This time I was at Queen Elizabeth Park. Lucky I got there before they increase the special parking fee to $20 a day for Olympic events during Feb 16 to Feb 27.
The Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games are just around the corner. We have another 10 days to prepare for the events and a few friends of mine are going to attend events. Lucky folks! If you are not from Vancouver and wonder what Vancouver looks like through the lens of some really great time lapse photography, here is a wonderful video I enjoy a lot.
This video is a collaboration of Innerlife Project and TimeLapseHD. If you like the music by Innerlife Project, you can find it on iTunes as well.
I am an ADSL user. I use Telus as my ISP because I like the consistency of ADSL. It is not a shared line like cables and my internet connection speed is not affected by neighbors downloading all day (or vice versa :)).
Even though I work in downtown, I rarely take my camera to work with me. But I guess I have to change that as I find the results from night time photography very satisfying. Now that we still have relatively few hours of sunshine, taking night time photographs after work should be fun.
For a moment, I thought I was not in Vancouver.
The Waterfall Building does not look like a typical building you are likely to find in Vancouver. Maybe because of the glass windows, or the concrete walls and concrete tiles on the ground. This certainly does not remind me of Vancouver. And how refreshing to see this building. Continue reading
We had some pretty nice weather this Autumn and for some reason, I feel that our leaves are extra red this year. It must be my eyes playing tricks on me.
This time we went to Granville Island in Vancouver for a little bit of relaxing walk-around. Continue reading
Some of us have regular day jobs, and like many of you, I commute to and from work using public transit. I used to drive every day but found that is not a very good use of my time. Driving needs constant concentration on the road, that means I cannot listen to podcast, I cannot check email, I cannot follow tweets, I cannot read books. So I abandoned driving to and from work since 2003. Although commuting takes time too, during rush hours, driving is not that much faster as long as your routine is the same.
Got some autumn flower photos to share with you. These are flowers I found in the past few weeks during our walk around in different parts of Vancouver. Instead of writing about flowers, I am including the camera settings here for your reference. These photos were taken using the Canon EF 70-200mm F4L and the Canon EF-S 60mm Macro lenses.
