Water Reflections False Creek Vancouver BC, motion and zooming.
I have been concentrating on portraits for a while, and trying to get caught up processing all the portraits sessions I have been doing, so today I thought I would spend a couple of minutes and bring you something a little different. A couple of months ago we were visiting Vancouver BC, staying in an apartment booked through VROB (vacation rentals by owner) a great site I highly recommend. One evening we went down for a short walk and to watch the sunset. I wanted to take some long exposures of the water and rocks. After using several different exposure lengths to see the effects the different times had on the water, I decided to do a few shots zooming my telephoto lens while the shutter was open.
Here you can see the high-rise buildings of downtown Vancouver, with the sunset behind, their reflection on the water. It has a smoky fire effect, rather than water and reflection. In the bottom of the frame you can see how the rocks have change position, both from right to left and in a vertical line pointing into the frame. you can see my original image Water and Rocks

I love the False Creek/Granville Island area!
hi Suzi, nice to hear from you, I hope you like the photo as much as you like the area!
It’s beautiful and a gives you a great feeling of the area.
thanks Suzi, it is such a great area to visit, and take pictures.
Very nice capture!
thanks Rick, glad you like it!
I really had to think what was going on in this image. I like images making me think. Surrel! and so original, but still I can see Janice’s taste.
Well that is just the coolest thing! I love it and that idea to zoom in as the shutter is open. I’ll try that for sure… nowhere as beautiful but…
Hi Naomi, glad you like the shot, it looks great with street lights as well, let me know how it works out for you!
Excellent interpretation
thanks
I’m getting some good ideas from all these weekly photo challenges; Lord willing, it will help me do better on my own photography attempts. Love this shot – very different from most I’ve looked at so far.
Sounds like a great place to visit… Lovely shot. Do check out my contribution.
I have been on the road since friday, no time to stop, and no internet, 24hrs or more on the road – so just exhausted, but will check out your blog shortly.
thanks for visiting and taking time to comment.
Take it easy and do get some rest…. TY!
a great image of one of my favourite spots in town – and so is the original as well, by the way. but there is something magical about this one. and in the foreground the rocks have transformed into a floating bottle – perhaps there is a message from far away? thanks for sharing
sounds like you had a great time. the weather has changed now to much cooler, so you planned your trip well
nice to hear from you, glad you like the images, it is a stretch creatively…..
