Anime Evolution 2010

Wiimote Girl

Once again we are approaching the end of the summer.  What better way to celebrate than to be surrounded by awesome cosplayers?  This year’s Anime Evolution is held at UBC. I haven’t taken photos for a little bit and was feeling a bit rusty with my photo equipment.  Some photos didn’t turn out and I apologize to those who posed for me and not seeing their photos posted here. And if you are the cosplayer and would like to get the high-resolution photo, please feel free to contact me by leaving me a comment below.

Updated: photo captions curtesy of Lightning Sabre. Lightning Sabre also posted a Anime Evolution 2010 Cosplay page with lots of cosplayer photos I don’t have.  Thanks Lightning Sabre!!

Cherry Blossoms at Marpole Part 2

Selected a few more photos from the same photo walk session we did in Marpole earlier. This time I tried cropping the images into squares instead of the wide format. Also I tried cropping out the part of the photos I feel is distracting from the original composition.  Let me know if you like them.

Cherry Blossoms at Marpole

ISO 100, f/1.4, 1/800

Been trying to take as many cherry blossom photos as we can this year. The only limitation is time and weather ^^. This time we went to Marpole to take these photos. Marpole has a lot of cherry blossom trees and we didn’t have to walk very far to have taken tones of photos.

Queen Elizabeth Park Sunset

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.

Vancouver Time Lapse

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.

Is ADSL better than Cable?

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 :)).

Downtown Vancouver at Night

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.
