Hello everyone, in the current times of political turmoil and social upheaval, I thought I would submit some beauty and tranquility from Buchart Gardens, Brentwood Bay, Victoria BC. These were taken as part of the land-tours day trips while cruising to Alaska in 2008. The gardens are fantastic and my photos do not really capture the beauty that you become immersed in from all directions. In any event, hope you enjoy them.
We up here in BC, spell it a little different- "Butchart Gardens"
My first time there was 1970 when our Pee Wee hockey team (Trail Pee Wee Smoke Eaters- 10-12 yrs) won the BC Championship. Been there a couple times since, VERY impressive place.

Swede,
I earlier posted three photos taken at faster shutter speeds in response to your first post. Did you not see these?

Okay lets get this straight- are you happy with them?? If you are, Great! Do you like the effect? Does it look real to you? Would you buy it?
To me photography is catching the moment- not the moment and a half.
Next time you get a scene like this " bracket a bunch"
Dean you will get nowhere if all you get is "at a boys" you learn by mistakes, criticism is your alley, but the more you learn the less 'at-a boy's' you will need.
Someone told you about this, my opinion they were wrong.

There's not to many places like this in Canada anymore, logging, mining, grow-opps have taken over, but the real good places are still around, locals know. Most are gravel roads, lengthy walk, when you get there, your there all by yourself!!
And the water doesn't have that fuzzy feeling, It looks the way YOU see it, not the way you want to see it.
Dean next time you see one of these waterfalls shoot a few faster, and compare them with the the long exposure' you might be surprised

OK I’ll bite, what specifically would you change about the photos? You have my permission to do your own edits along with an explanation about what you did.
I know what I would do, I'd go back and shoot it again only this time using a faster shutter speed!
There is no place anywhere that I know where I can go and see running water that looks like that. Huge distraction in what could of been a memorable image.
That's a pretty place, next time shoot a few with a faster shutter speed, and compare them, you might remember those more, the way it really looked

A mushroom walks into a bar.
Bartender says we don't serve mushrooms here.
Mushroom says, "Gee why not? I'm a fun guy."

Yellow, Red, Blue.
I like these 3 the most because you can make ALL the other colours using a combination of 2 or all three !

In 1999, Furbies were banned from the National Security Agency's Maryland headquarters because it was feared the toys might repeat national security secrets.
Here in BC Canada we banned them (Furbies) in the late 1800's, haven't had any trouble since, but times do change.
They "Furbies" did help in some land fill projects though!!
Times do change!
