I've hit a Wall...
The weather has been so bad this month that I feel as though it's been ages since I took a good photo. It hasn't rained a lot, but the sky has just been a flat grey for several weeks. If the weather doesn't change soon, I'll be out of material to share with you.
Not sure what to say about this photo. I took it during a downtown photo excursion four weeks ago. I didn't get many photos from that afternoon that I was happy with and this is probably the last of them that I will share.
The image you see here is a reflection on the Wall Center, one of the tallest buildings in Vancouver. It is kind of an oval shape so the reflection is very unique and it peaked my interest. I'm not sure what building is being reflected. There is some post processing on this image, but the reflection has not been altered in any way.
Canon PowerShot S2 IS, 16mm, f/8.0, 1/30 sec, ISO 50
This is another view of the Wall Center and the building across the street, just so you get an idea of the shape.

Very cool reflections here. Cool shot.
A note on the weather...you should try and get out a shoot away despite the weather...some of my best shots have been taken when there was no sun, rain, drizzle etc. You never know dude.
Really cool reflection shot. I like the color and the patterns.
LOVE this reflection! Cheer up, the weather will get better.
That is a great reflection photo.
I've had the opposite problem with the weather, more like the time I able to get out to take shots. It's usually been during midday in harsh sun, so not much here either. I need to try and get out earlier or later for better light, but it's not always possible.
Hang in there!
I like the larger photo. The triple image using the overlaid reflections is intriging.
That is a wild reflection!! Nice capture!
I can commiserate with you on the grey skies. And supposedly I live in the land of sunshine! Ha! Hey, I use the same camera as you. =)
Really cool shot : loving it.
GREAT GREAT SHOT!!!

Here in England the weather has not been good. The shot I took for my today's post was shot under dull light but the colours are still evident.
The reflection shot is great. It shows you are observing your surrounding in a way that others fail to see - nice one!
John
like the refelctions, big buiolds give such different views on the world
I understand what you are saying about the weather stopping you taking good photos! I have the same thing happening to me of late - although the past week things are fining up :) these simages you took are quite creative..not bad for someone who has hit a wall!! cheers :)
nice shots here
This is a terrific reflection. Good colors too. As to the weather, you might want to try some rainy shots (as was suggested) or just move indoors and turn your home into an impromptu studio. It can be a lot of fun. (some white poster board or a sheet for background, a couple of lamps for indirect light, and you will be surprised what you can do). Would you believe I did this under one end of my dining room table? => (http://alohaphoto.my-expressions.com/archives/1472_1711322473/144278). Don't overlook self portraits. They can be pretty demanding.
Je préfère les cathédrales romanes ou gothiques .
Mais , j'aime aussi ces tours modernes , elles ont de l'originalité , de l'élégance .
Excellent work. I like this one very much. Interesting use of building reflections, if you ask me. Cheers.
Interesting abstract shot.
Great shot, Tim. I really like this one. Hopefully your weather will clear up soon. :-)
really interesting reflections. Great shots.
Love the building. Looks a bit like what they are planning for The World Trade Center site in New York on a smaller scale. Nice shot.
This shot is a great idea, showing the city in a different way.
It's not fun to get out in the bad weather, but don't let it stop you from taking photos. Like Dave Macintyre said, you never know what you'll get.
It's an interesting shot - abstract enough to be pleasing, and real enough to be interesting...
I think it'd make a good desktop wallpaper if a similar shot was made in a more "desktop sized" ratio. :-)
Reflections are an cool and creative way to take shots. The first shot posted on this thread is very nice. It's well framed and crisp! Excellent job! Keep up the good work!
this my friend is one fantastic picture!!
love the reflections, love the colour!
;)
i really love living in the countryside, but i've said before in other places that i'd love to live in a bigass city, just so i can take shots of skyscrapers, reflections, etc
great stuff man!
;)
Fantastic double shots in this post. Really stunning reflection.Brilliant.
really cool building and reflection:-)
Magnificent reflection.
wow what fantastic composition... I love this shot...
