Night in Vancouver Photo

Photographer’s Note

Another touristy shot. The view from my hotel room. The large street below is Robson (thanks, Fil). One of the liveliest street in Vancouver downtown. The street lead straight to the Stanley Park (the black blob) and the entrance to the harbor.

Nice shot, Thien! I like the contrast between the lights in the foreground and the dark blue dusk in the background. The street is actually Robson and not Hobson. :-) The lights in the background on the right are of North Vancouver and on the left of West Vancouver. Did you get any shots of the Lions Gate Bridge at night from Stanley Park? Also, the Totem poles in Stanley Park are incredible to shoot. Good job, Thien!

Nice view -- I like the dramatic clouds & the cityscape with the harbor and mountains behind. The photo doesn't seem quite as sharp & crisp as it could be. Also brightness/contrast seems a little too high. The main street with its overexposed bright white sections looks unnaturally bright.

The sky is wonderful and so the contrast between the lights in the foreground. I love it very very much. Bravo

the uniqueness of this photo comes from the sky the level of colours in the sky is extraordinary.the view of the city is a bit over expoused especially around the road on the right.

Very nice view, and well captured sky. I am a little disappointed with the fuzziness of most of the buildings. I wonder if you could see the Lion's Gate bridge from there, could have added interest to the shot. (Lion's Gate is off to the right, and the lighthouse at Stanley Park (just outside the marina photo from yesterday) is probably behind the hill in the park).

It's a nice composition, especially with the ships in the water.

Great nightshot Thien. You did choose the right time when it was still some light on the sky...Very well done!

Lovely photo. I too like the contrast of the lights in the foreground and the dark blue of the background.

Thien did it again :) I like the abrupt ending of the city into a small black void, as if the city is floating towards some coast. Remarkable well done with the exposure settings, the situation wasn't easy.

Lots of things to see. A photo that kept your attention for at least a while, and your eyes busy. I like the composition and color.

This picture looks really good, it makes me meditate how much a big city like this resembles the innards of a working computer.

Nice view of the city and the beautiful blue sky! Maybe you should rotate the picture somewhat.
