Fun WIth Light: Part 2

These photo's are from my experiment of painting with light. The light source that I used was a flashlight to complement a long shutter speed. I thought I would try painting with light on some Heineken and some product shots revealed themselves. By the way I did enjoy the beer it was pleasant to the taste buds.

Fun With Light: Part 1

These photo's were shot at camera club, which consists of my self and two other guys who have the proper lighting equipment. I found it interesting with effects that you can create when using ice and strobe gels how the colour refracts through the ice.

Granville Island

These were taken on Easter Monday, very cold from what I remember. But the when the wind calmed the suns warmth along with the ambiance of local street performers and musicians made for a wonderful day.

Looking North to Yaletown/Westend, with the Burrard Street Bridge to the west and the Granville Street Bridge to the east crossing over False Creek.



One man band, very entertaining:

Granville Market Building was crazy busy but and a very pleasing aroma of fresh fruits and bread. Also in the market place were pyramids of strawberry's that seemed like they would fall over if someone sneezed.

Steveston & Britannia Shipyard

These photo's were shot in Steveston which is located in Richmond. Steveston is a fishing village that is going through some redevelopment due to limits on the Salmon fishery. The prime real estate of being close to the water, parks and recreation, and fresh food market are a draw. Steveston, in relation to Richmond city, is lacking in the Asian influence which is unique to the area as a majority of the population are visible minorities. Also located in Steveston is an old cannery, the Britannia Shipyard and a park near the mouth of the southern arm of the Fraser River. There are statues and monuments regarding the Japanese fishermen who built the fisheries in Steveston prior to World War II. During this time the Japanese Canadians and Canadians were shipped away from the coast to the interior of the Province with there property sold off. I would recommend checking this area out if you have not already.

City of Langley

These were taken on a beautiful fall day and I was out to find something unique to Langley. All of these shots were taken on the one way on Fraser Highway with the exception of the casino. What I discovered is that on the one-way street there are alley ways and a lot of local small businesses that are unique and provide a sense of place for the City of Langley. The one way is the core of the City of Langley and is going through a transitional phase as some businesses are moving out, but this transitional stage could lead to revitalization of the core further on down the road.

Statues

These were taken in Chilliwack at Homer's restaurant in downtown. These statues jumped out as the faces showed character through the fresh paint covering up there weathered states. Also the statue with the moustache was vandalized by a person other than myself.

Chilliwack in the Sun

These pictures were taken on a crisp fall day just walking around and exploring city. These are some things that caught my eye.
