My Business Trip to Victoria, BC *Large pics* · 08:24 AM

Well, brought my camera with me to Victoria. As you may have read in another recent post, I also picked up some lenses and a camera for a good deal at a pawn shop in that area as well.
Nonetheless, here are some of the pics that I took whilst there!

In the plane, at night, taking shots with only a little bit of moonlight lighting the way and a steady prop against the window (please note, most photos never turned out. The plane would hit a pocket of air, some clouds moved too quickly, etc. Lots of trial and error)

Hotel Empress, attached to the building where I worked this week:

Parliament:

Just touring around the city at this point:

Great Shots Firemate. The plane shots are fantasitc and yes they are hard to get. I love the tour of the City. Nice B&W conversion. Nice reflection on the one building.

Great shots - interesting subjects and perspectives - I really like the way you used muted colors - gives the pictures almost a 'nostalgic' or 'historical' look - is that a lot of work to do?

Nice pictures FireMate

Victoria's beautiful.
I haven't been there in 2 years, and I really should try making it back there soon.

Saturation right down - does a fine job. All these shots play to the best of their subjects. Good work!

Wow, love the PP that went into this. It's decidedly different, and it works great! Thanks!

Beautiful shots, the second and third ones out the plane window are stunning.

I like the airplane shots alot. They remind me of the Golden Age of flying. All it needs is a PanAm or United logo on the bottom right. I like the empress hotel pics alot too. The processing really adds to the feel.
