Calgary from the Tower

Here's another view from the Calgary Tower. The sun has started to set. It took a really long time for the sun to set. I was one of the last ones in the tower. It was about 10:30PM. This shot was taken probably around 8PM. I really am running out of shots, I really should go shooting.

3 exposures. I tried a new technique that my cousin mentioned to me. So I used Photomatix to create the HDR. Then I used Photoshop to create the DRI. I then merged them together to get this image.

Skylight (Day 2)

It looks the same right now. They just added more drywall stuff on it because it was pretty thin yesterday.

Here is the bridge from below. Notice, there's a road at the bottom part of the bridge. In the distance, you can see the Calgary Tower. On the other end of the bridge there are lions (I think that's what they were). I crossed the bridge and then had to go down some really sketchy looking wooden stairs.

3 exposures blended in Photoshop and a bit in Adobe Camera Raw. Contrast, saturation, hue, unsharp mask, levels and curves.

So here's the casino from down the road. Still part of its property since there are parking spots and the left and right. This was taken back in December. I'm going through my bank of photos because I haven't gone shooting in a while and I'm running really low on interesting things to shoot.

3 exposures blended in Photoshop with usual processing. Cropped it to a square because there was just black sky on the top portion of the shot and it wasn't interesting.

So this is the ferry ride between Vancouver to Victoria. Not much in this picture, pretty boring actually, but I felt like posting this one. This was taken last year in August, but I didn't process it until recently because I just felt like it was lacking excitement. It does lack excitement but I'm running low on pictures to shoot so I decided to do it anyway.

3 exposures blended in Photoshop done with my normal processing.
