i decided to get back into the main stream today. took a walk along the seawall, and ended up down by the rink. i found a nice spot out of the way, put the canon on a tripod, and spent an hour and a half shooting the crowds/ watching the light change. second shot from the same location - the athlete's village.
took a break from the olympic crowds today. another beautiful day. plan on getting back downtown tomorrow.
my sister in saskatchewan went on line, and set up this light design dedicated to 2 friends who are fighting illness. i was the photographer of record. it was fun last night / shooting the show and talking to her via cell at the same time. well done.
what's a winter olympics without flowers?? i shot these on my walk downtown to the action
i burnt quite a bit of shoe leather today, so i decided to set up shop on granville street, and let the action come to me. the light was right, so i spent an hour or 2 just fooling around with the canon.
ok, i can live with this shot, flowers and all. cherry blossoms at sunset, with the sylvia hotel providing the backdrop, late this afternoon.
laser light show at false creek in beautiful vancouver bc. i had fun shooting this / must have been the only soul on the beach. the masses were partying downtown.
my plan for the day was to hit the downtown.. again. i geared up, walked a block or two, and realized this was the nicest winter day i have ever spent in vancouver. so who needs the crowds? i went back home, put on the shorts, grabbed a pop, and spent the afternoon at the beach/ one block from my happy home / at english bay. oh... and i had my camera with me as well (would like to leave that at home more often).
