    Default The new Vancouver Convention Center

    I was downtown trying to line up a shot I had in mind at the Olympic Village but there was a movie shoot in progress so I got politely asked to leave. I went to the Convention Center that I helped build for the Olympics.

    I am not familiar with long exposures or what quality of shot I would get out of my newly purchase D90.

    Please let me know how I could improve for future shots. Please and thank you.

    For one thing: take the advertising out. It is too freaking obnoxious when you look at the image. I don't mind a watermark, but make it subtle. Generally you have done a nice job with this image: It is sharp, properly saturated and it is nicely composed. I like the way the the roof covers the mountain ... nice touch, for sure. The breaks in the color in the building add drama, so all in all the only thing missing is the full moon over top (just kidding). Nice work, I like it.

    Thumbs up from me. Not much, if anything to critique. I do wonder what could have been included in a landscape orientation?

    I think that I may go back and try and get another angle. Thanks for the thoughts.

    I don't know if it's the actual angle or design of the building but I find it a bit disconcerting that it seems like it's falling forward. I do love the background interest you've included with the city lights and mountain in the background.

    I think this is well done overall and I dig the colour. If I had to nitpick (as i like to do when asked) I'd say be aware of brighter elements in the shot as they tend to steal your eye. Bottom left has a bright corner that could be burned in.

    I like the repeating escalators, and in general, viewers like patterns and repetition, just wanted to mention that.
