Vancouver Lights

Vancouver Lights

I did a very quick time-lapse the other night while I was in Downtown Vancouver. I used the build in time-lapse in the Nikon D800. I used the 14-24mm 2.8 Lens. I should of started my time-lapse earlier so you could see the Vancouver Lights turning on as the sky got darker...Oh well next time.

Fogcouver

Well its been around 2 straight weeks of fog sitting over the beautiful city of Vancouver, but today the sun finally came through and the fog dropped low enough to get some nice shots of Downtown Vancouver.  The sun was setting and I headed out to start shooting. The shots where taken on a Nikon D800 with a 70-200 2.8 VR 2.

I stitched together a couple of Pano's using Autopano Pro. Super easy amazing program that doesn't make your computer churn as much as when trying to process large files in Photoshop.

Here are some of the shots that I got.

As the Sun set's behind Vancouver Island, you can just see the Lighthouse at Lighthouse Park clearing from underneath the fog.

City of downtown and finally be spotted after almost 2 straight weeks of Fog Cover.

West Vancouver's shore line has not seen the sun in weeks!

Sun setting behind Vancouver Island. The ships in the Straight of Georgia have been sounding their fog horns non-stop!

Prime Time!

Prime Time! I decided to Walk the Streets of Casco Viejo, panama; using only a 50mm 1.8 Prime Lens and an 85mm 1.8 Prime Lens. Prime lens street photography is actually hard, because you have to get close to your subject. I got caught snapping a couple of times. Casco Viejo, is an incredible place where old Spanish/French influence some together to create some amazing architecture.  There is a mix between the very rich and the very poor. Some buildings should be condemned, but you will see families living out of these boarded up houses; living in anything that is available.

Here are some shots from my explorations today. I am used to hiding behind a 70-200 2.8 or a 24-70 2.8 Lens, but today, I decided to just try my primes out and get over that horrible awkward feeling of taking a strangers picture!

Its hard to get up to someone with a Prime 50mm Lens. I am no longer able to hide behind my Zoom!

I was Caught Red Handed!

I gave this guy some change, so I felt better about taking his picture!

And of course the Famous "Welcome to Panama Man" He is always singing and Playing!
