Description Located on the seawall of English bay here in Vancouver,BC. "inuk shuk" ... this statue made from rocks stands about 20 feet high (give or take a foot) . I took this shot with the sun to the back of the statue... standing rather close but low, accentuating the height of it against the blue sky backdrop...

Enjoy...

And here I was going all the way up north to take pics of these things... now I know I can just head down to English Bay! *grin*
Love the fact that you managed detail within the dark portions of the Inukshuk... really adds a lot of atmosphere instead of it being just a silhouette. The sky, as mentioned before, is awesome. The wisps of clouds really give some depth to this image.
Great use of a lower angle as well, to give more power to the 'shuk. Looks very strong and foreboding hanging over the frame like this!

Love the perspective really emphasising the sheer height of the statue towering above you.

I like the way that the structure almost appears as a silhouette; with the colour of the sky standing out comparatively.

I also quite like the way the image is balanced with the left side focused on the sky, and the right on the statue.

That's the best sky ever...now I must move to canada (curses to the terrible englsih weather ). Did you tweak the photo afterwards or is that just pure polarizer & whitebalance magic?

ddsoul In reply to neverlution [2004-04-14 09:14:18 +0000 UTC]

hehe... I had to do some slight adjustments to get the sky to stand out more... nothing major.. just a few level and curve tweaks here and there.

I love the color of the sky.. ^^ and the composition... Reminds me of the historic ''Stonehedge".... haha....

where is this by the way? Last time I was at the seawall ... but I haven't seen this... is this way down to the trail heading towards Canada Place, or the opposite direction?

Last time when I was at Seawall taking my bro's pics... I was at the fountain, but didn't go down any further..... I would love to see this thing.. haha...

Might be coincidence, but that rock reminds me of the Chinese character for sky? or emperor. heh, thought it was quite interesting. congrats on the dtf for your vector, did you sell any? maybe I should get a print account some day... Did you hear about the newly released black 300d? lmao =/ poor me.

ddsoul In reply to xenologics [2004-04-11 09:02:37 +0000 UTC]

yea.. I saw the black 300D ... maybe you can do the old switcherooo @ costco! lol!! ...

I think it's just a coincidence... this is native art.. hehe thx,.. but dtf for "print" means nothing... doesn't mean I sold the most.... maybe it got a lot of "wishlist" additions.. but I don't get any notifications of those either.. so I have no idea what it means to be a DTF for print... most views maybe? ..

wooooo
look at the blues in this pix



though i think the border is a lil bit intimidating.. or maybe a simpler border
but no matter
still a great capture

at first I had a thin border.... buuuut decided on the thick one.. since the image itself 'is' intiminating overall.... may as well go with it!
