All right! So after some feedback from the C2E community (thanks etownboarder, Gemini, norwoodguy, noodle, and lat) I have decided to start a new thread and mix things up a bit. I'll post a smaller size, linked through to the big one, but don't be surprised if I post the large version of a shot I particularily like
Also, I would like to get more chit-chat going on in here. Not just more feedback, although I very much appreciate it, but I would like folks to feel free to tell stories, recall memories and stuff like that. See a photo that reminds you of your youth? Tell us about it. See a building you used to work/live in? What was it like? Anyway...we'll see how thing go. For now, here's a few shots from the last week or so. One of these was not taken in Edmonton, see if you can guess which one... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Thanks IanO...
And booster..yes it is on Manning, but it is not a mosque, it is a Gurdwara, or Sihk Temple.

Thanks Bulliver for clarifying that. It definitely has a bling quality to it.

The Sikh temple looks great! A wonderful piece of architecture. Thanks Bulliver.

The first shots, I believe, were taken at the Edmonton Cemetery. I don't recall seeing the tall cross in the city. Is that the one taken elsewhere?

Do you do a lot of post processing? If so, what program do you use? Are there some good value ones you recommend?
Great shots. I love the ones with the "India" colours.

Thank you Gemini!
And Jimbo, I wouldn't say a lot of processing, no. For the large majority of shots I just add a saturation and contrast boost and run an unsharp mask using a raw editor: Raw Therapee. The program is free so that's good value. You have to shoot raw though. I don't use photoshop/aperture/lightroom or any of those so I can't speak to them... Other free software I use is Hugin to stitch panos and Qtpfsgui for HDRs. I use The Gimp for more extreme edits like when I have to clone stuff out. http://hugin.sourceforge.net/ http://qtpfsgui.sourceforge.net/ http://www.gimp.org/ And here's some new stuff: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

I wish I had my camera with me today. The fog is thick and lingering. Hope some of the C2E'ers got some shots'

bulliver: your composition is spectacular! Are you using a special fisheye lens to capture those upward shots of buildings? A filter for the light?

Jimbo: I missed it
reservoircat: Thanks, no filter. The lens is a 16-85mm so it's got a bit extra on the wide end than the usual wide angle zoom.

All right folks ... looks like this is the end of the line for me. This will be my last update to this thread...and probably one of my last posts to C2E period. It has not been the easiest decision, but I am moving back home to BC. I have had a fantastic three years here during this last stint, and an amazing 12 or so years here in Edmonton prior to that. I love Edmonton, it is my second home, and I always want her to do well, but personal circumstances have led to this decision, and at this point I need to do what is right for me.
I want to thank each and every person who has taken the time to look at my photos and comment on them. Without all the fantastic support here, at SSP, and on flickr I probably would have just put my camera away a long time ago. If you have enjoyed looking at these photos half as much as I have enjoyed taking them then it was worth it. Thanks again. And so long, beautiful, I'll miss you ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Thanks everybody...I appreciate the kind words. Looks like I will have one more update for this thread, but it will likely be a while, after I am settled in BC before I can post it. Cheers everybody! What a great city Edmonton is, and what great people live here!
@Perspective...thanks, yes I have caught the bug, and will continue taking pictures wherever I am, and yes, the best place to see them will be my flickr page... http://www.flickr.com/photos/badcomputer/ @RTA...heh heh, you got me. Yes, it's a dead coyote. He rode by me on 87 Avenue, I was so stunned I almost didn't get the shop. Guesses on the pics flickr page range from 'he's trying to sell it to a furrier' to 'he's gonna eat that thing'. Your guess is as good as mine. And hey...start taking more pictures Cheers everybody!

I've been wanting to so badly, but between work, buying a house, packing, and getting ridiculously sick twice in a three week period, free time has been pretty limited.

Edmontons loss is B.C. gain.
Your photographs have been wonderful. I have enjoyed them all. Good luck in all your endeavours. I wish you well.

Yeah, I was totally drawn to the area after seeing houses in the neighborhood. Still close to downtown (actually a little closer as the crow flies as well as the bus drives) and the river valley, Whyte Ave., etc., and within our price range. It's a great house, too. I'm pumped about it.

By the way, the Edmonton Auto Spring Works Building is no longer there due to fire. All the very best for you life in B.C.
