Let me present this set of amazing imagery of the first sunset of year 2012 as seen from Cypress mountain.

I took Volvo S60 for a ride to the mountain, read a book, while enjoying this magnificent view. Enjoy.

It has been long time since I went out to shoot. My camera was collecting dust and I’ve decided that I need to connect with it once again.

Late afternoon, December 12, I went for a walk to Stanley park to snap some images of Vancouver’s city-line and this is a result.

I wanted to do this for a while, and finally April 9, 2011 was the perfect chance – take photos of letters in alphabet order. I must say in advance, I cheated a bit – I just couldn’t skip perfect “Z” and took duplicate versions of some letters: “B”, “L”, “O” just to name a few.

I went around Vancouver for around 2 hours, with Armin Van Buuren’s State of trance on my iPhone, shooting signs, billboards, advertising etc.

Nothing spectacular here, but I hope to get some comments. Thanks!

Ok, maybe this photos have been published in some of my previous postings, but I’ve decided to group some of the old and some of the new shots into one Set on Flickr called – Vancouver.

In this set I will add photos from various shoots as well as random images of my city Vancouver, BC.

Feel free to explore, comment and contact me if you want to use them commercially.

I usually put videos into my Blog, but this one is different.

My brother Kirill sent me link to HDR video by Soviet Montage which looked pretty cool. They’ve used two Canon’s 5D MII to take those shots.

Since I don’t have even 1 of those cameras, shooting with Nikon D90 and quite happy with it, I’ve decided to try time-lapse videos using Image Capture to shoot image every couple of seconds (once it got dark, exposure was set to about 20-30 seconds so every 30 seconds). Here is result.

Quite excited about trip to Italy next week where outside of Palace Hotel at Anacapri I can shoot 24hrs time lapse of sunrise, sunset and everything in between.

Here is my second QTVR attempt, this time it is Cypress mountain viewpoint. Weather in the city was not perfect for photography, so we went to Cypress mountain – 2010 Olympic competition venue.

This time, I’ve stitched 25 images and trimmed edges. Enjoy and comment

Edit: I had to hide QTVR to speed up load of the Portfolio section. Click on more to view.
