Vancouver – Street Photography

As I mentioned in the previous post I went to Vancouver to see family, my mum hadn’t seen my Auntie for a few years so I said I would go out there with her.  I did a fair bit of shooting with Models whilst there, and also as usual Pete and I went out to shoot in the street on a few occasions, a mixture of night photography (Long Exposure/Low ISO and Short exposure/High ISO), some daytime shooting from the hip, and some shooting interesting scenes of people.

So with the night photography, first of all it was raining which wasn’t ideal, but secondly it was late on Saturday night, so lots of ‘merry’ people around but there were a few level platforms I could rest the camera on for longer exposure shots, got some nice light trails when a bus pulled into the shot on a long exposure of the newly renovated, but historic Hotel Georgia:-

Occasionally though on these walks around the street you seem something really strange, this guy had been staring at the tinted glass for a while on the way down the street and was still there when we got to him:-

 

The next main walk around a few days later I had stuck the 50mm lens on the camera because I had been using it with a model earlier that day, ideally I would have liked to use a wider lens, but it worked ok for me, got some interesting results with a lot from the hip, but also some shots I couldn’t resist when I saw an opportunity.  This shot is ne of my favourite shots of the year for me so far:-

 

Saw another interesting guy talking to cars:-

And this crossing place letting the guy know what it thought of his dress sense:-

I took a few shots that day and on the rainy night, have a look at the rest of them by clicking the thumbnails below to see the full image.
