The Olympic Games are 2 weeks away and there are now lots of athletes here practising ~ and the venues are mostly up and running. Lots of free stuff happening and folks arriving.

This thread is for venues, people watching, scenery and Olympic-related images of Vancouver 2010 - not shots of the actual sporting events which should probably be in the 'sports'forum.

So, what has everyone got? I will start things off with the obligatory 'rings' shot:

Too much expensive stuff to fit in my cheap camera bag.

Cool shots! How did you get access? Cherny and I were down there and everything's fenced off.

Thanks! I'm sure I'll get a some better sunrises over the next few weeks.

As for access, I work in the IBC...leave my XT and tripod there and grab shots when I can ;)

What's the IBC? Can you have visitors? :)

It stands for the International Broadcast Centre (Vancouver Convention Centre renamed for the Olympics). Last week...yes, probably could have had a few visitors, but now we are in "lock down" (hence all the extra security). I have my fingers and toes crossed that I'll be able to get out to a few venues and shoot (for work), but nothing confirmed yet :(
