Fourth floor view

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.

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.
