Vancouver Yacht Club, a photo from British Columbia, Western

Photographer's Note

This is the Vancouver Yacht Club which is in Stanley Park. For obvious financial reasons, I will never be a member at this club :)

When entering this park, this will be the first building you see, you can't miss it. You're looking at the back side of the Club, not the front...the other side is still too dark, whereas this view has the morning sunrise light hitting it.

In the background you can see a couple of highrise condos...you know i had to find a way to get them in here somehow!! :)

Enjoy your Sunday everyone!
Cheers
Craig

Hello Craig,
Interesting contrast between the high-rises and the yacht club building, though no doubt you need lots of cash to afford a place in either:-) I like the lighting here and, especially, those lovely shimmering reflections. Light, colours and sharpness all feature well here.

Hello Craig ,
Excellent perspective on this pretty brown building . The reflections and the light are splendid . The fine details are the little stones in the FG .
Well done .

Ciao Craig,
beato e fortunato lo Yacht Club di Vancouver che puň vantare una costruzione tanto bella, ma sei stato bravissimo tu ad esaltarne l'architettura grazie ai riflessi ben captati e ad una qualitŕ stupefacente. Complimenti amico mio.
Un caro abbraccio

Hi Craig,

After read your first sentence, I intended to write : "you share your time between yacht and golf... nice life... ;)" but after read the second, I can't. ;)
I like this morning light, perfect for reflections.
It makes your shot attractive and gives much glare to the colors. Good work Craig.
Have a nice week.
Cheers

Magali

Hello Graig
Une image d'une grande netteté avec de trés belles couleurs.Les reflets sont nettes etj'aime beaucoup la présence des pilotis qui viennent "casser" l'ensemble.
Bonne fin de journée Isabelle

Bonsoir Craig;
Very very nice composition, with a spectacular reflection of this building.
A splendid work.
Great cheer.

maria-v1981 (10966) 2011-04-10 13:20

Hello Craig,
Where and how you find such perfect reflections?
Here in Greece we have many windy days and very few times i can have such perfect result.
What i can say for this picture omly Bravo.
Have a nice week.
Cheers,
Maria

JFS (32459) 2011-04-10 13:35

Hola Craig!
Lovely reflection my friend! Very interesting architecture, odd for me. All the houses are so big?

Have a good week!

Cheers,
Juan

adores (46979) 2011-04-10 16:12

Hi Craig!
Wonderful light and reflection! The poles and the stones are just perfect here! Very well seen and framed!

jjcordier (79299) 2011-04-10 21:50

Craig
Tu n'as pas ton pareil pour trouver ces lumičres et ces reflets si attractifs. Si l'on ajoute ŕ cela la parfaite composition, le résultat final est des plus réussi!
Amicalement
JJ

dkmurphys (78000) 2011-04-11 1:03

Hi Craig,
I do not know which is more interesting: the rocks and the piles or the building itself. A very fine composition with perfect contrasts. Well done.
Enjoy a good week.

mkamionka (61206) 2011-04-11 4:59

Hi Craig,
fantastic light makes this view really attractive. Excellent compsotion too: nice foreground with the reflection cut with the repeatative geometric element.
Very well done.
The building has an interesting architecture too and it contrasts in a way with the modern buildings in the back.
Have a great week,
M

Hi my dear Craig

So marvelous presentation by outstanding sharpness in the detail and vivid color usage. The reflection is very attractive and the rocks are very good accent.

Thanks for your sharing finest work and have a good day!

Best regards,

timecapturer (49288) 2011-04-11 5:36

Hi Craig
if you are not careful we will soon be calling you "reflection man!" Joking apart another superbly rich capture. With outstanding light and colours plus of course the wonderful shapes and lines in the water. Superb!

Ciao Craig,
this beautiful reflection on the deep blue water, beautiful colors and technique.
compliments

delpeoples (60326) 2011-04-11 8:02

Hi Craig

Well you might not know what day it is, but you sure know how to take a waterscape! The symmetry here is sheer perfection, just as beautifully those rocks lead the eye from the FG into the middle of the photo. The colour rendering is superb and I love the effect of those posts in the mid-ground too. Who knows, maybe if you start buying the lottery tickets we'll see a photo of your yacht parked out the front one day. My fingers are crossed for you.

Cheers
Lisa

Hi Craig. A masterful shot. High quality technical. The reflection is fantastic. Fine composition, light and contrast. Compliment. Rgds, Wolfgang.

gunbud (34066) 2011-04-11 18:56

Hi Craig,
Stunning reflections of the Victorian architecture along with those inviting tidal harbor poles in the deep blue sea.
Very impressive contrast between the white bridge and trim to the warm brown of the yacht club.
Regards, Tom

Hansaphotos (11379) 2011-04-12 1:08

Hi Craig

For sure a fine capture, this one. It strikes me that this park must be wonderful rich of great scenes and motives. A fine and well balanced composition with good sense of depth. The stones, the poles and the painting-like reflections contributes to make this a beautiful and evocative scene. Nice one, Craig! Have a great day.

Greetings, Erling

paninho (3025) 2011-04-12 3:16

Salut Craig!

J'aime bien l'architecture de cette maison, trčs originale et que t'as su mettre en valeur avec un cadrage qui permet de comprendre les volumes du toit, tout en gardant l'aspect plaisant des reflets sur l'eau! J'aime aussi la bonne netteté et la lumičre. Bien fait!

Cordialement

Antonio

Cricri (176) 2011-04-12 3:49

Hi Craig
Tout beau le cadrage avec les reflets des pierres, les poteaux de bois et ceux du batiment, comme toujours la lumičre et les couleurs sont magnifiques
Belle journée

eldancer1 (36343) 2011-04-12 9:16

Very nice capture but I would rather see a picture of your yacht. I like the early morning light highlighting this beautiful building. Great dof with crisp and sharp details. Wonderful colors. Well done, tfs.

pablominto (53746) 2011-04-12 22:10

Hello Craig,

An interesting building, maybe not known for its beauty..!
Still what catches attention are the poles, I'm sure they once had a purpose but I can't guess what...
Rich colours and fine details, the distorted reflection is a bonus!

Greetings,
Pablo -

Graal (103040) 2011-04-12 23:40

Hi Craig,
good POV and fine composition. I like the hues and reflections. Superb quality of photo.
Have a nice day.

Royaldevon (75378) 2011-04-14 1:31

With reference to your notes, Craig, when you become a famous and celebrated photographer, you will have no trouble becoming a memeber!

I wonder whether it might be worthwhile showing them this shot. You could offer to frame it and sell them the copy.

The mood is relaxing, possibly because so much of the shot is the gently shimmering reflection. It gives the posts an enormous sense of height, almost like a protective palisade.
Because the building is so elongated and quite compact vertically, it seems to posses more importance than the tall sky scrapers that peep over its shoulder.
Fine sharpness and lovely light.

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Hi Craig,

A very cosy-looking yacht club, the white fence, the doors and windows look spectacular - must be freshly whitewashed:). Great contrast with the high rises there, different styles in architecture side by side. Love the clarity and lighting, excellent sharpness too. Where have all the yachts gone?

Cheers,
Marina

Robert1969 (7160) 2011-04-15 22:28

Hello Craig,

You use a very good (and very intresting) point of view/perspective, because the picture has a very nice contrast between the old(er) yacht club building (foreground) and with the modern skyline behind (background).
Also the light is good, there are no hard shadows in the picture.....Well done.

Friendly regards,
Robert

josepmarin (59385) 2011-04-16 10:02

Hi Craig,
again a beautiful composition that you have based on an interesting architecture and a few magnificent reflections on the water.
I like the contrast between this building of the Yacht Club and the highrise condos in background.
And of course the reflections in foreground are very photogenic.
The light and the colors are perfect, you have done a great work.
Friendly regards,
Josep

mariani_josep (1) 2011-04-26 4:00

Hi Craig
Long time not come to trekearth and found this pretty shot in your album. Like your angle and composition. Wondering if you can use slower speed to get smooth effect on the water.
Good lighting and sharp
TFS, MJ

Juntas (7960) 2011-04-26 8:29

Hi Craig. Great composition with a nice perspective an well balanced with the beautiful reflections. Colors are very nice and sharpness is great and I also like the effect from the pilars. Fine work, well done.
Have a nice day.
