Vancouver Wedding Photography

This is my colleague at Queen Elizabeth Park. We teamed up for a photo session at the point view.

My wife and I went for a walk in downtown and I got a photo of myself by the clock

This was my final stop before going home, there were so many people on the street but we managed to find a good spot to take this photo.

The Russians are coming…

Russian supermodel Natalia Vodianova became the face of the Olympic Games 2014 in Sochi. She opened the presentation in Vancouver.

At the final concert at Sochi House 2014 (Vancouver Science World) Natalia turned 28, I cought a shot of her blowing candles on her birthday cake.

Natalia Vodianova is originally from Nizhny Novgorod, which happens to be my home town!

I  managed to bring my good camera to the Zveri concert in Sochi House 2010 (at Vancouver Science World).

I was standing a few steps away from the lead singer Roman Bilyk (Роман Билык)

Their performance literally blew me away.

I was lucky enough to get some last minute tickets to Gennady Khazanov, the king of Russian stand up comedy. Lucky for me I had my compact Lumix DMC-TZ4 with me. These are the photos I will cherish throughout my life.

And this is the famous Gorky Park, the good old 90’s is back. I remember I bought their cassette when I was 15 years old… These guys never age

A staggering performance or Denis Matsuev (Денис Мацуев) — THE WORLD’S GREATEST PIANO PLAYER!!!

I have been using the free Statistics Counter for many years now and I just realized, these guys are offering their service for free and I am using their invisible counter, which doesn’t give them any credit.

Statcounter.com deserves their exposure on my website somewhere and this is the best place I could think of crediting them and to say, “Thank You Statcounter!”

With their incredible gift I am able to oversee daily visits to any of the pages on my website, to help me make better decisions on marketing strategies and site map placements.

And this is Vancouver Fairmont Hotel snapshot as I got out of my car. This photograph outlines the busy Vancouver modern life with the old hotel dominating the scene.

I have this one framed on my wall. This particular infrared photograph was taken near the Harrison Hot Springs Resort.

I like to take photos with my infrared camera as a hobby, it renders some beautiful images of nature and even wedding illustrative photography. There are several ways of doing IR photography, one of the simplest ways is to convert your existing DSLR to a dedicated IR camera, the drawback is that you can then only use it for IR photography only. On the other hand it makes sence to convert one of your older cameras when you upgrade to a newer body.

I had my camera converted by Camtex as a successful experiment several years ago. They never converted a camera to IR before that time, so I went out and bought a IR circular filter, found a glass shop that would cut that filter to the sensor size of the camera, then the Camtex guys removed the guts and installed this filter in front of the sensor and presto. The cost of doing everything was roughly in the $400.

Yesterday I visited my mom’s house and found some old negatives, which I took 15 years ago when I was 20 years old.  I came home and found this magnificent photo of our historical Vancouver gastown I think this was before Christmas time judging from the street decor.  Can anyone see any difference from today’s gastown?  I have already noticed some changes in the storefronts and street construction.

It is much better that I share this photograph with everyone than it would have layed lost at my parent’s place.

This was photographed on Kodak Gold 100 ISO film.

I drove back home after tonight’s Christmas Party and on the way I got out of my car, put my 5D Mark2 on a tripod and took a shot of the Front Street near my office in New Westminster.

Today I took photos of Norm and Lucy’s wedding on a harbour cruise, going back to Vancouver I took photos of the view. This is as shot, no photoshopping has been done.
