Inspiration, wherefore art thou?
I'm feeling a little short on material today. Lots of pictures, zero good ones. This one is okay, I guess. I took this photo while walking on the beach with Bethany last month. I took many mediocre pictures that day. I was ticked when I got home and discovered that I had somehow set my camera to a lower resolution, meaning that my already mediocre images were of a sub-par quality.
This photo was taken from a dock, looking east towards downtown (the west end). It was a really cold April day, as evidenced by the fresh snow seen on the trees at the top of the mountains.
I am always interested to see photos that document other cities, but it's hard to capture an image that has an impact on me when taking photos of the city that I live in. Vancouver is said to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Why can't I figure out how to capture such beauty on film (yeah, I know it's not film, but you know what I mean). Tomorrow I will take a drive through the country. Perhaps inspiration will hit me there.
Canon PowerShot S2 IS, 18mm, f/8.0, 1/200 sec, ISO 50

oh, this is a great shot! i love that the sign is in there, it really adds a lot to the shot.
I like it because it looks kind of surreal, (not surrey'eel)
I really dig it though. of course I am sick of vancouver shots, living here and seeing postcards, but this is different. I think.
Excellent. Potentially the sign is a little too much to the left, but I don't think so. It works very well and gives a different perspective to the usual cityscape shot. Nice one, timmybomb. Cheers.
BTW, I was in Vancouver for one night. Didn't get to see much; had dinner at the pier. Big cities can be hard to put your head around at first. If you're in a small town it seems easier, at least to me, to really document the place. Good luck on capturing beauty. But do try and find beauty in things rarely photographed.
I think this is a lovely shot. Ilove the mountains behind the city. That just looks wild to me.
Love the shot man.The DOF is absolutely fantastic and you didn't do anything wrong.GREAT GREAT SHOT!
