Hello? Hello? This thing on? Oh good. Greetings Vancouverites! I'm back and ready for action with a super-sized photo feature.
What's a photo feature you ask? Well, it has been a while. Basically, I spend time trolling through the
Beyond Robson Flickr group looking for the best and brightest photos, and then I feature them here on the main Beyond Robson page.
Any photo in the group is eligible to be featured, and the group is free to join, so get submitting now if you want to see your name up in lights!
Today we're going with a theme, and it's ocean scenes.
First up is
The Calm Before the Storm by esoteRIKphoto. I love everything about this photo, the glassy water on the beach, the arrangement of kayaks and the splash of colour they bring, and most of all the foreboding sky. Truly a brilliant photo.
Next on the list is
female diver by petenator. I've always liked this statue, and Peter has taken the best photo of it I've seen in a long time. The one second exposure brings out the detail in the statue and makes the smooth water frame the photo nicely.
Thirdly, which is by no means an indication of rank, is
Streaming by Victoria Potter. The fire boat, with water streaming ahead of it. It's a classic image and Victoria has captured it splendidly.
Lastly, again no indication of rank, is
Silver Sunset with Ship on Horizon by Mark Klotz. This is a
striking image. From the stark black and white contrast to the god rays at the top to the silhouetted ship and mountains on the horizon. Lots of detail and lots of absorb. Stunning, truly stunning.
That's it for this edition of the photo feature. I'll be letting each of the photographers know that they've been featured, but in the mean time lets congratulate them on their fine work!
Look for regular photo features to return next week!
