:: Downtown Vancouver Seawall

Vancouver Downtown Colour

After spending a week in Saskatoon for work in temperatures of -20 degrees and below, it was nice to come back to Vancouver to experience some beautiful weather. The past few weeks have been pretty miserable because of all the rain we’ve had, but this weekend the sun was out and so we embraced this very rare moment of warmth and sunshine.

Tash and I took our pooches for a walk along the seawall on the False Creek side of Granville Bridge. This was the first time that we’ve explored this side of the seawall and I took the opportunity to do some photography. The view is Downtown Vancouver across the waterfront and to the left is Granville Bridge.

After processing the RAW files in Photoshop CS3 I ended up having a set of photos with a very grungy feel to them. I’ve included a couple of different versions of the same photo to show you how manipulating the contrast curves, hue and adding a couple of filters can change a photo dramatically…
