This evening I went out to shoot photos around Steveston with some friends. Its been quite awhile since I’ve gone out there. The weather lately is still a little chilly but its been sunny. We got there near sunset and we had to make use of the gorgeous light. I’ve been practicing some different post processing effects to try to achieve a cinematic look. Here are my shots from this evening.
Last week I had the chance to try out the Nikon V1 camera. It was quite small and light compared to my Nikon D90 and it fit in my jacket pocket quite easily. I had a Nikon 10mm f/2.8 prime and a Nikon 10-100mm f/4-5.6 lens to play around with but since I was at False Creek, I decided to use the 10mm prime more. A lot of the functions I had to go digging around the menus to find which is probably why I would never give up my DSLR.
Understandably from a camera with a sensor smaller than a 4/3′s camera, there was quite a bit of noise. I also found that the lens wasn’t very sharp as I would have liked. Every time I used the timer function, I would have to go back into the menu and turn the timer on again for the next shot. The size of the V1 would be ideal for travelling but at the price its currently selling at, I personally would give it a pass.

He wanted to capture some the snow up in our mountains and it was a beautiful sunny day. It was a nice place and what made it better was that I’ve never been up there so it was something new to photograph.

After babysitting my niece and nephew for the whole day, I had an urge to go for a drive. What prompted me was the Pixar film Cars which I was watching with the kids. Specifically the scene where Lightning Mcqueen and Sally were taking a scenic drive. I didn’t actually head out for my drive with till about 10pm and I went with dabu6o4. Its a good idea to head out somewhere with a friend especially late at night for safety reasons. We ended up driving up to Cypress Bowl, Horseshoe Bay, and Ambleside Park. Here are some photos from last night.
