Vancouver Skyline
Photo by Brad Rickerby
Limited Edition Prints Available
I have been so fortunate for so many years. I have been able to travel the world over, and photograph places of incredible beauty. By itself, the Vancouver, BC skyline is rather generic. But when you add all of the lights in the foreground, somehow the whole image transforms to a glowing piece of art. It was unimaginably pleasant to be able to sit and watch this scene and be creative and earning a living at the same time. I also have to add that the air in Vancouver is among the freshest that I have ever sample and the company of the woman who accompanied me on this trip (I almost always travel alone) was cherished.
When photographing reflections on moving water, keep in mind that the longer your exposure, the smoother the water will be. A longer exposure will let your colors run straight and un-interupted from their source to their tip. Conversely, a faster shutter speed will ad texture to the water making it look more like water with reflections on it. Think of it as reflections on a lake (with the slower shutter speed) versus reflections on a moving river (with the shorter shutter speeds). This image falls somewhere in the middle. I always bracket my exposures in a situation like this. You never know what the customer will want and its best to have it all on file.
I am posting my images several times a week. Along with the images are creative and technical comments as well as the occasional piece of business news and/or advice.
