The Handrails


This is the Granville Bridge as viewed from the South Bank of False Creek on Granville Island.

I couldn't help myself.   I was mesmerized by those blue handrails

      thanks for visiting. I didn't want to commit myself to a "photo a day", so I left this escape clause. I could do one a day if I didn't have 2 blogs

      Not really artsy but I have been doing a lot of experimenting with software. These last two images were processed using HDR software which I purchased. 3 shots in RAW +/- 2 EV. I still haven't settled on VR software so I can use my pano head. I have also uploaded full resolution files to my OneDrive ready for download, but I wasn't sure I should post the links, so I didn't

  3. That blue is so vivid. No wonder you were mesmerized.

      Well, it was a dull day and for a change there was hardly anyone at the Market, at least outside where it was quite cold. I had the whole place to myself.

      I find the best time to shoot on a dull day is when it is nearly sunset, not too dark but when the city lights start to turn on and I also wanted some reflections glistening from the ground

  4. I like your new concept - you take so many lovely photos it's nice that you can share them and not be worried about motorcycle content (and it's a spot where you can go FStop techy wild.)

      thank you, you are very kind with your words. Cameras are so smart these days, they nearly do all the work for you. My camera has "Professional" mode. I put the dial on "P". but most of the time I use "Amateur" mode, spin the dial to "A"

      Now I can go crazy with F-stops and shutter speeds
