I love your clean black and white style. The photographs appeal from the top to bottom. Meaning the scene is wonderfully composed.

You have a great urban eye. I enjoyed your set, congrats :)

[TheHoff]

Thank you for the very kind words! Last one from today...

Nice! I like the juxtaposition on #3 -- the moustache makes it.

Vancouver is very photogenic, eh?

His reality has nothing to do with the ad at the bus stop. It has more do do with being hit by the bus. Very nicely captured.

A lot of redux here, but some of my walkabout shots from the past year:

Everything here is great, very inspiring!

[eddiebrown]

Vancouver is very photogenic, eh?

amen to that ! as a new transplant from calgary i am blown away by the photographic oppurtunities in this city . the mountains , the ocean , the city , the birds , the different cultures , the sports ... the list is endless . i love this place !


awesome mannequin shot cosworth ! wow .

[NZDoug]

Very Honest, Hoffmeister.:p

[Mediation]

Those are fantastic Jason. So sharp and clean. Also very telling and interesting also. From all of you!. Inspiring stuff.

What lens do you guys all use for your urban shots?

[TheHoff]

Cheers all. right now I'm using 16-35II, 100/2.8, and 200/2.8. I'm liking the reach of the primes as they don't draw attention like the white zooms. I do wish Canon had made the f/4 200 zooms in black.

[eddiebrown]

17-40 mostly and sometimes the 85 1.8 for me . the 70-200 2.8 attracts too much attention like hoff said .

[Mediation]

interesting. Never thought of white primes like that. But I do feel the same. It is not the most discrete lens being white.

Great shot! :)

[TheHoff]

Thanks for all the comments! This image is getting a lot of views on Flickr right now but not a lot of responses. It probably has a chance to go "interesting" -- it would be great if you could do me a favor and click on the image above to register a view for it. Maybe make a comment if you're logged in to Flickr. Thanks!

[cosworth]

I use these three as well.

Here's a B&W night shot.

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2085/2245094543_bd18829b65.jpg

[TheHoff]

that is my favorite piece of art work in vancouver!

And a very well photographed one, for sure. The guy in my shot (a city worker) was interested in what I was shooting (with the monopod attached) and he stuck around to talk about how odd the buildings look. He had some personality in his face I think.

Here's a B&W night shot.


Good shot -- what street?

[sesshin]

I find THIS (http://www.jasonhollister.com/images/hiv_hungry.jpg) one really powerful Jason. Great moment.

[CRE@TE]

Howe and Dunsmuir.

What the heck is that thing? And where is it? I've never seen it around DT before...

It just appeared the day before yesterday. The pedestal has been there for months outside of the Cielo building, Hastings and Bute, but they only put on the artwork this week.

There are some awesome shots here guys. I've got friends in Vancouver, they always tell me what an amazing city it is but never really appreciated it until I saw all these shots, thanks!

[cosworth]

I think I'll bust out Lightroom tonight and get some more shots in this thread.

[shadowkipper]

Not Fair...

I want to live ina more populated area... Vancouver, Canada and the USA in general is so full of life and excitement. In the UK, unless you live in London, it seems pretty dull for street photography IMO.

The fact you know that building means you and I need to shoot together in the future

Awesome picture, I guess you didn't get a model release? :lol:

[Grace]

Jason- I LOVE the pic of the guy flippin you off, but the last two you posted...are awesome.

I really like the window washer! There are so many things that I continue to see in that picture the more I look at it. There is a building here that has an entrance very similar to that and I'm almost certain it is number 214...probably why that stuck out to me so much.

Cool thread. I would start one in Nacogdoches but I think I'd be the only poster!!

Perryge, I love the 214 building shot!!!

[PiRho]

Jason! I Totally love the one of the guy flippin you off. that one is worth more then a thousand words LOL. but I have to say that my favorite of all would be the guy with the pigeons! that is so awesome! fom the maple leaf on the hat.. to his expression. it is clear that this is not the first time that these birds have sat on his lap. I totally love that shot. I have not tried my hand at any street photography yet. but you all inspire me.
Thanks,

[Grace]

Eddie- LOVE the ballerina shot! way cool!
Jason, I like the new fire truck shot...assuming it's a fire truck. - or bus...whatever!

[cosworth]

That's one of our city's emission free electric buses. Powered by hydroelectric power.

[MDJAK]

well done. very nice street shooting.

mark

[rgs-]

hopefully if it's decent weather out this weekend i'll get out there and take some shots

[cosworth]

I plan to as well. I haven't been home, or not busy for 2-3 weeks. Need to shoot some West Coast.

[bryanj87]

Wow, this thread has some amazing shots! I'll be in Vancouver and Victoria in May for a day or two of sightseeing...now I'm really looking forward!!!

PS - I'm running out of good shots. Need to shoot some more!

[BottomBracket]

Wow lots of cool street shots here. Had to wade, but it's all good. Vancouver looks like a great place to live, and take pictures of. Jason, it appears that the buses here in NYC are in better shape :)

[cosworth]

We have hydrogern and hybrid buses. The older Vancvouer electric buses (that run on overhead cables) has some "experience" and are kept spotless inside and out on the whole. The sight of dentage was something I had to capture before it was rubbed out.

Out biggest photo competition of the year is tomorrow night and I have an urban shot submitted but I will again be trampled to death by a mass of Eagle and Owl shots. Hopefully Sunday I can get out and shoot. Anyone up for it?

[eddiebrown]

thanks grace . i just had to poach a shot from the ballerina's photo shoot . i wasnt alone , as it turned out there was soon 4 or 5 other photogs snapping shots alongside me . :D


cosworth , i may make it out sunday . on sat i was planning on hitting a rugby game at the university and then going downtown for the late afternoon sun bouncing off the glass buildings . i will pm you sat night if i am going out on sunday .

[TheHoff]

Obviously I'm clueless with this, but what is the photo competition?

There is a gallery opening for some works by Flickr Friends tonight, Landscapes of Vancouver... includes one tasty street shot by Waxy

[TheHoff]

It is around a lot of construction at the moment; sort of off the street/sidewalk to your right as you go north on Hornby in the courtyard of the (I think?) DMV office.

Nothing to be ashamed of Jason, we all fall on hard times.. :razz:
I paid my tuition for art school by...nevermind, long story. I'll see if I can make Chapters. Robson and Howe?

Here you go Perry. I had to walk at least six blocks to the beach so I hope you like it. I really have to get an ND filter, so much water around here.

[FociBC]

here is a few of my shots... I've taken a long break from photography only taking the odd shot here and there. These shots with the exception of the last one was created with my Canon A1.. that's right:D please leave feedback as I am open. The one with my fiance and my dog has a blueish tint that I didn't adjust out when I took the shot. The first 2 are used with a 28mm lens by canon and oddly enough my first shots ever with it. Just noticed it's street shots.. hope you all don't mind

Woah, dedicated photos! That's never happened before :lol:. That sky is awesome Alex, but I have a question - is that light falloff completely natural with the 5D + 16-35 combo?

Here you go Perry. I had to walk at least six blocks to the beach so I hope you like it. I really have to get an ND filter, so much water around here.

Oh man, I'm so jealous that your beach is not covered in snow. Unlike here in Toronto. Truly a perfect candidate shot for slapping an ND filter on, Rob :D.

[TheHoff]

Woah, dedicated photos! That's never happened before . That sky is awesome Alex, but I have a question - is that light falloff completely natural with the 5D + 16-35 combo?

Hmm There is some falloff but I think most of that is an illusion of the light in that image. The center is very bright and buildings are shadowing the left side of the frame as the sun sets behind them. Looking at the DNG, there is not so much apparent fall off before post and the added contrast.

Wow, right on with that one.

Hmm I think that was on Pender? So yea, pretty close to the Harbour Centre, but not BC Place so much.

[cosworth]

....Chapters. Robson and Howe?

Yup!
