I've worked in and/or around this building for sixteen years. This is the seat of the provincial Legislature of my home Canadian province, British Columbia. It is known by those of us who toil here as "The Rockpile". It is a stone builoding designed by famous architect Sir Francis Rattenbury.
It was a very stormy day today, broken by periods of amazing light. My daughter and I were in the neighborhood visiting the Royal British Columbia Museum, which is where I captured this three exposure HDR from the third floor.

how darkness pursues the light

It is a simple fact that darkness chases light around the globe, day by day. Or, is it the other way around?
Have a great weekend everyone!

Another fine view en route to Vancouver on Tuesday morning. Mt. Baker is on the horizon.
I was unhappy with some banding in the foreground once I had a look on my better monitor so I made a couple small changes and replaced this shot. Mainly the same.
Have a great Friday everyone!

Escalation

Sometimes spontaneous shots just work out. I was walking up to Gastown from the Heliport and was struck by the reflections in the metal on this escalator at the Seabus Terminal. To get up to the city from the heliport on foot you have to use the side door on the Seabus skywalk.
I tend to always have my trusty G10 on hand. Quick start-up and great RAW capture. It is a good camera for many applications. The only fail point is low-light performance, and it appears Canon has rectified that with the G11. The G11 has a 10MP sensor whereas the G10 has a 14.7MP sensor. Both sensors are the same physical size. This means the individual sensors on the G10 have to be smaller. The result is larger images but more noise. I will likely be upgrading to the G11, unless Canon wants to send me one for free of course ;-)

I lost myself in the many versions of this I made...sorry. Hope this one is good. It is a two shot panorama flooded using Flaming Pear's Flood filter.
