The weekend and holiday shots.
While in Vancouver, BC this past week we stayed a few nights at the Patricia Hotel on East Hastings Street. The neighborhood is a little shady, but the price was right, the room was fine, and the proximity to downtown was ideal. I took this shot from our fourth floor room. To keep the camera steady for the 2 second exposure I rested it on top of the push-out window.
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm at 16mm. 2 seconds at f/9.0, ISO 400.

These shots were taken during the flight we took from Oakland to Seattle at the beginning of this past week. The first image is of California’s Mt Shasta and was taken with the standard camera app on my iPhone. The second image, of Oregon’s Mt Hood, I took with my Canon G11.

While in Vancouver, BC, Canada, I got a bug in my bonnet to push myself to do some street photography. The iPhone and Canon G11 were the cameras of choice because they’re small and stealthy. It didn’t take me long to realize how tricky street photography is, but I did get some keepers.

Mags and I just got home from a trip to Vancouver, BC and Seattle, WA. During a short Sky Train trip from Vancouver to Burnaby to visit some friends, I grabbed this shot with my iPhone (of all the in-camera reviews I did of the photos I took it was my visceral fave of the trip). I haven’t ported the “real” photos from my G11 and T2i to my computer yet, but this Hipstamatic shot is getting the first slot.

I took this shot a month ago, though today the view probably would have looked more or less the same. Indian Summer has lasted longer this year than any mid-Autumn I can remember. But, the weather is about to change. Tomorrow it’s going to rain. Saturday will be the first frosty morning in the inland valleys. Summer is almost over.
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm at 32mm. 1/200 second at f/11, ISO 200.
