Vancouver, BC Cityscape
Summer 2008. Vancouver, BC. A photo taken at sunset, from the SeaBus. You can see silhouette of the South Vancouver with prominent landmarks like the Vancouver Lookout. The shiny building in the foreground is Canada Place. This photo was taken from inside a glass window and there was some reflection of the inside lights that I have tried to remove but if you look carefully you’ll see that I’ve not completely succeeded.
Exposure Compensation: -0.7
Bleach Bypass
Bleach Bypass is an optical technique first used in 1960s to reduce saturation and exposure range. These days you can just use a filter in a photo editing software to add this effect. I have tried giving this photo a different look by adding this filter. I wanted to accentuate the expression on her face by adding this effect.
Exposure comp.: -0.3
Flash: +1.0, bounce flash.
