Bright Lights, Big City

I went to Vancouver this weekend for some meetings and other such stuff, and took my Nikon for a little walk around the streets near my hotel.

See, I have thing thing about neon signs at night. I don't know, something about the super bright colours against the darkness just does it for me. Maybe it stems from playing with a Lite Brite as a kid... that thing was amazing!

Soooo, yeah. Now onto MY photos!

Looking down Granville Street

A camera store! That wasn't open. Lame.

Who wants another tattoo?!

I just loved that there was a place called Speakeasy.

Oh come on, Orphium!

You couldn't have all the lights working just for one night?!

I hear you get what you pay for...

I'm in vogue, really.

Mmmmmm.... hot dogs.

I enjoy this blue saxaphone.

I hope to get back to the city sooner than two years from now. I throughly enjoy street photography. I like some of these so much, I may just have them printed off and framed... we shall see.

Brights and Lights,

Ginger.

Random Photo Friday: Morning and Night

Oh sweet jeebus, I fucking love this camera.

There was quite the interesting sunrise this morning. I was getting ready for work and saw the that tree outside had a lovely orange light shining on it, and rather than make my lunch, I went onto the balcony and started snapping away.

The camera has a variety of auto settings, which normally I wouldn't use, but I wanted to see how the sunrise setting worked.

ISO 100, 1/1250, F5.3, 300mm

Not too shabby, I'd say.

Then! Tonight I finally got a night clear enough night to actually see the moon, which is still about four days away from being a full Hunter's Moon, but I found a blog that told me how to get good results when trying to photograph the moon. T'was excellent advice.

ISO 100, 1/250, F11, 300mm

Oh I cannot wait until the 11th when it's full! I tweaked the curves just a tad, and cropped out a good portion of the excess sky, but this photo was all the camera. No major adjustments.

I has a happy!

Shutters and Bugs,

Ginger.
