Photos of Vancouver BC from CanSecWest 2012

· by · in Photography. ·

CanSecWest 2012 has come and gone. I had not been to Vancouver BC in a very long time and I had forgotten how big it is!

It was great to meet a lot of people at the conference. I also met Darin from the RIM Waterloo office who is a fellow photography nut. He and I did a photo walk in the city. My pictures are below and you can see his at www.makebright.com.

Cheers!

  1. I have never been to Vancouver … but man, do you make me wish I could go — like, now!

    GORGEOUS pix! My favorite is the fourth from last — what cool perspective. Almost made me dizzy…
    :)

  2. Those are all really fantastic! Being a Vancouver citizen myself, I have to say how much they RoCk! Lol.

    I have some really good ones that I took from Stanley Park looking in at the city.

    Looking forward to seeing more from you.

  4. Really greats colors in these shots. Shows off the vibrance of that city. Vancouver is somewhere I hope to visit soon. I love the hilarity of the shot with the Chevron station in the middle of the water for the boats. I have never seen anything like that.

  11. This is a great set of photographs. I love the variation of different photographic styles, it shows how many different characteristics a city can have. Awesome work.

  30. Never thought anyone could show me something new in my own home town, but the shots really provide a refreshing perspective on things. I’m toying with the idea of getting into photography myself.

    Any camera recommendations for a newbie with $500? To be published primarily for newsprint/blogging.

  31. Great pictures! I loved the Vancouver are when I visited there last October. Sea-to-sky highway on the way to Whistler was breathtaking.

  42. Wow, what a fresh perspective in those photos. Making me miss the West Coast, though. Vancouver just gets more and more beautiful and the juxtaposition of nature and city is like nowhere else.

  43. Congrats. on being Freshly Pressed! I miss Vancouver but it’s still my 2nd home city. I lived there for nearly 10 yrs.

    Cherry blossoms are peeping out from the locals I’ve chatted within the past few days. So Easter weekend should be beautiful.

    I write about Vancouver ,…occasionally: http://www.insidevancouver.ca/author/jean/
    Cheers.

    • I know. It felt a bit odd to include it in the set but I had to have at least one that showed the mountains. I have others but didn’t get the exact angles I was looking for in them so hope to go back for another shot ;-)

  50. I have to agree with a2canadian above–it’s strange and funny to see the one picture with mountains and Stanley park be the exception instead of the norm. A very interesting take. (And I love how you gathered so many colours in such a usually-urban-grey landscape!)

    • Thanks for the comments. It’s funny because I wanted to capture a lot more of the mountains and city together because the contrast is amazing. I just didn’t have enough time. Next time I’m there I plan to get on top of some of those buildings.

      • Sounds good. And you’re absolutely right–city-grey against mountain-blue is a wonder to see.

        (I especially love a shot capturing grey against blue against lighter blue of the sky, or white clouds, and shots of downtown at twilight or reflected in water are just as nice.)

  51. Great photos of a great spot in North America…a good visit in any season. You could easily spend a busy week or so in Vancouver, followed by a short excursion to Whistler, opening up another BC tourism experience. Thanks for sharing

  62. My favorite is the float plane station — because the float-planes are such a specific image to that city you won’t find in other places. I was born in YVR and have been back many times since. The planes define the city for me in ways that skyscrapers and churches do not.

  68. Beautiful photos… love the mountains! Although I was born in White Rock, I haven’t spent much time in BC. Would love to go back for a visit soon! Thanks for sharing.

  72. Hey, you got “pressed”. Congratulations.

    My mum and dad went to Vancouver and remember it fondly. Hence, I always wanted to go there… I want to go there. I will.
    The swimming pool photo is my favorite.

  74. Stunning photos! You’ve captured some gorgeous and interesting perspectives. I miss Vancouver a lot. Looking at all of this makes me miss it even more. :)

  81. Fantastic pictures, my fiancee lives in Vancouver, seeing pictures of the city bring incredibly fond memories to me.

  83. Congratulations making Freshly Pressed. Thank you for sharing these beautiful photos. You may enjoy some of our photos on the Donkey Whisperer Farm, Mammoth Donkey, Mini Donkey, horse, dogs, cats.

  85. For a second I was like, Vancouver WA? Haha just kidding but Vancouver is a beautiful city, great shots!

  88. I have not seen Vancouver from these angles before. I liked the way you captured a winter sparseness of the city. And to think this gorgeous city is just across the border from me.

  102. I’m travelling today, via wordpress. :) Drop by lizabethlacey photography to check on NZ sight, then Australia, here! I wish to go for both places. NZ for study, AU for my future marriage… hahaha..

  105. I managed to snag two front row seats to the Police’s fan club preview concert/rehearsal in 2007 and that meant a trip to Vancouver! It was one of the most enjoyable vacations ever. I too loved that building (can’t remember what it is) with the blue and green colorful tiles on the exterior.

    Great photos.

  108. I aspire to become as good as you as photography, maybe one day. =

    All of these pictures are stunning, how did you get the colours to be SO vivid?

    What strikes me about each picture is the colours and how deep they look.

    • some of it is having good equipment and getting the right exposure and some of it is teasing the colors out in post processing. I’m not a purist when it comes to only capturing what you see through the view finder. To me, part of the art and fun of photography is what you can do with the picture after you take it. I have a post planned to demonstrate this. Thanks for the compliment!

  111. I like the photographs, they are relaxing, just sitting here looking at them I can actually see myself standing in the from of them, going inside and enjoying the view.

    • Nope. CanSecWest is an annual security conference. Before that, I was in San Francisco for RSA, another security conference. It’s more about taking advantage of your surroundings whenever you can.

  117. I have seen a dream city through your photographs………Amazing pictures. Cannot stop myself to admire your photography…..But where the leaves have gone ?

    Keep it Up Jerry !
