City Folk Meet Nautical Folk
At the entrance to False Creek Vancouver partying city folk meet Strait of Georgia nautical folk.
Both sides were equally befuddled by the other.

Yeah. Whatever.
A bald eagle rests on the top of a Vancouver West End hi-rise while the local raven and seagull gangs display their displeasure.
The eagle was very much 'yeah - whatever'.

I use a photo post processing technique called 'High Dynamic Range'. 3 to 5 shots, rapidly taken at slightly different camera settings, and then merged into a final single photograph. Since the photos that go in to creating the final image are taken over a period of time I can have creative fun, in a temporal way, with the shot.
Here's a final image with my temporal (over time) filter turned to zero. If a part of the shot looks peculiar that's because it is. Elements in the shot (people, dogs, etc) moved while I took the 3 shot sequence.

Keeping the Peace
Keeping the peace at the largest No Enbridge Pipeline rally the city has yet seen.
Sunset Beach in Vancouver's West End - Saturday May 10 2014.
A turnout that's sure to be dwarfed once Canada's government approves the pipeline in June.
