The Bowl at Helmcken Falls in Wells Gray Park, on a sunny cloudless day.
Steveston Harbour, Richmond, BC.
Amazing how night light transforms an image. This is the Steveston Harbour, where they transform the seaside community into Storybrook for the TV series "Once Upon A Time".
Pacific Discovery - Steveston Harbour, Richmond, BC
This is the Pacific Discovery as it makes its way back into Port at Steveston to pick up fishing nets before heading out to Sea. These boats are the backbone of the BC Fishing fleet and are constantly on the move as the catch and seasons change. Very minor processing; cropped about 10%, brought up exposure, and added 8% overall luminance to the boat. Oh, and because my re-framing was going to eliminate the little red buoy, I moved it to the left to get it back into the scene. You know what they say about Red stuff in a photo.
Takakkaw Falls, Yoho National Park, British Columbia
Nothing captures the awe and wonder of Yoho National Park like the tremendous thunder of Takakkaw Falls. Plunging from above at a height of 380m (1246 ft ) with a 254m ( 833 ft ) freefall, Canada's second highest waterfall leaves every visitor humbled. Fed by the Daly Glacier above, Takakkaw Falls' flow is at its peak in July when glacial meltwater is running freely. The Yoho Valley access road, located just east of Field, is closed during the winter season due to high-frequency avalanches, opening June through October for the summer season. I took this shot last week at 1:12 pm with my Canon 1DX, EF24-105 f/4L IS, 1/200s, f/11, ISO 160, 24 mm. As you can see, I'm pretty close to the falls, and left the people in this shot for scale. There was so much Creamy colored water going over the falls, 1/200th was sufficient to silken it.
Steveston Harbour, and a few Fishing Vessels in morning Fog
In the early Fall, Fog over the water in Steveston brings an eerie quality to these vessels, part of the Fishing Fleet ready to sell their catch to locals who flock there for fresh (and flash frozen) fish. This photo was modified in post to reflect a classic feel.
Water Drop, Vancouver, BC
The Drop is a steel sculpture resembling a raindrop by the group of German artists known as Inges Idee, located at Bon Voyage Plaza in the Coal Harbour neighborhood of downtown Vancouver. The 65-foot (20 m) tall piece is covered with Styrofoam and blue polyurethane. According to Inges Idee, the sculpture is "an homage to the power of nature" and represents "the relationship and outlook towards the water that surrounds us." The Drop was commissioned as part of the 2009 Vancouver Convention Centre Art Project and is owned by BC Pavco.
Burnaby's Metrotown reflection
Metrotown reflects nicely in the still early morning waters of Deer Lake.
