Splat

With a few minutes to kill before boarding my train, I went for a wander around the new Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre (that's center for our American counterparts). I found this unique sculpture there and had to get the shot. I pulled out my trusty D3 and mounted a 20mm f2.8 lens, lay on the ground and made the shot. Laying on the ground seems a common thing for me, thus the reason I prefer jeans to slacks.

I hung around and shot some seagulls frolicking in the updrafts then ran to catch my rails. On the train I pulled out my MacBook Pro and downloaded, adjusted the images in Lightroom, and exported them into Photoshop. The image with the sculpture needed something more so I comped in a seagull to complete it. I was done ten minutes before the train reached my stop.

Pleased with my efforts, I sought the admiration of my loving 11 year old daughter when I arrived at home. She broke out in laughter pointing at the screen.

"The bird did THAT !"
