Black and White Photography in Whistler

<p align="justify">I have taken up photography. Is there ever a lot to learn. I started by taking a digital photography course at <a href="http://www.ecuad.ca/" target="_blank">Emily Carr University</a>. Then after much research and trial I decided on my camera and lens: a <a href="http://www.nikonusa.com/Nikon-Products/Product/Digital-SLR-Cameras/25468/D7000.html" target="_blank">Nikon D7000</a> with a <a href="http://www.nikonusa.com/Nikon-Products/Product/Camera-Lenses/2192/AF-S-DX-NIKKOR-18-200mm-f%252F3.5-5.6G-ED-VR-II.html" target="_blank">Nikkor 18-200</a> lens with polarizing filter. I wanted to get a full format <a href="http://mansurovs.com/nikon-dx-vs-fx" target="_blank">FX</a> camera but decided to get familiar with a <a href="http://mansurovs.com/nikon-dx-vs-fx" target="_blank">DX</a> camera first. I got <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop.html" target="_blank">Photoshop CS5</a> and <a href="http://www.niksoftware.com/silverefexpro/en/entry.php" target="_blank">Silver Efex Pro 2</a> (a program that converts color digital photography to black and white photography) as well as several books that I downloaded to my <a href="http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/" target="_blank">iPad 2</a> (BTW I love my new iPad 2 which was a gift from a client – thank-you very much!). All of this because I have a very curious mind and a very curious eye. I love the fact that when I look through the view finder of the camera I see the world differently from the way I view the world of Interior Design through my eye unframed. Looking through the lens forces my attention down to a small and very refined focus. I am also a believer of the value of life long learning and the fact that the appreciation of different  art disciplines enhances and broadens our experience of life. <br /> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRD3otIKkPpzc8i_fPXmemKL_gvFcvJbvx-4PwZRWF2FUnPO7Tt6jVWKo0DZiocJqMseLkf1wjMZGc_atfvEtT5c1rZAqB9qAn71QsPPZ5p2KvczXFKVEW8LjgAD03Ye5-_JkcYoRHPUwZ/s1600-h/DSC_1124%25255B9%25255D.jpg"><img alt="Patricia Gray Photography Wistler" border="0" height="411" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3GPITR8xOnGkevqJ5NiC0FyMguoi30ACUNC5k39eNu6-EhS7c82wbAPWCJGkdcKUfXNQpYF7WnvSAhQXzyOFg8raYsnJXBbkhIZ2tVJacGZ_EC7DK5wvGpVC4f9NFj8qiHSyGSIVMG3D7/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px" title="Patricia Gray Photography Wistler" width="620" /></a> <br />The above photo was taken at a client’s home in Whistler just before sunset as I was standing on the edge of the dock. I went there to take photos of the lovely views from their home of the dock and lake, with hopes of getting some good images to frame and hang in their just completed home in Vancouver. Somehow the color version looks nice in a smaller format for viewing on the internet or in the photo album, but when I thought about enlarging it to a frameable size it didn’t look like fine art. I far prefer to hang black & white photography on walls. I converted the digital color photograph to black and white photography with a software program called <a href="http://www.niksoftware.com/silverefexpro/en/entry.php" target="_blank">Silver Efex Pro2</a> and I quite like how the images below the water show up much clearer in the black and white photography then in the color version. <br /> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6XJ_aQQqwPNDCtl0viAb9uzFDQl4Qf0k4Rg6OrkJxWy0au8lp-eya_Tyw3iyvdL1NU51ZmT9z0ucUmj6mPV1Tw0ZTz0dbDFl5XqwcUpDOotp3FO-hbbSYjDx3ZegLn5zAmK4gRvKwp_Rb/s1600-h/DSC_1124%252520copy%25255B8%25255D.jpg"><img alt="Patricia Gray Black and White Photography Wistler" border="0" height="411" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0OJI1ePIpPaWJrupc196VW2MP_dYV4tr9dmzxKG2tsBiyU4z4dEKkqom5gL1tOsGCwC1Q6W4XhIJj7r5AENM-8f4bHF3Vao51UbCwMU0v7s2RqNoQvp8RHevuXFaT4RQVO0_7zoSEu9F7/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Patricia Gray Black and White Photography Wistler" width="620" /></a> <br /><font size="1">This image was converted from a color digital to black & white photography using a program called Silver Efex Pro 2.</font></p> <p align="justify">These are some of the other photos I took.</p> <p align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi65-Q7-efG4voKaqsDz3tkdIx_jhPQiih49SiRpGc4E7hiSD2mZNrv5zEGm0DyoxmOkI-K21JetbIfwV0eJVsmaWoQOQ0EBiWr35oQ72-DZO4yDWD9VCSbq32yQ2-jqBPDOCiil9ExU8xH/s1600-h/DSC_1340%25255B9%25255D.jpg"><img alt="Patricia Gray Photography Wistler" border="0" height="411" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmlGo8d9qLNbv5aLUlTihp7qO2fwYbnziP8dlmCyz-Q9LkaLvDSrUKX4FWsgyxbDnHWrg5XE84uRWu5fuaWQUFzgM-lQhPlXAbZEwFA2huYgUpfpOsV7okqb4rg27j6S1K49pnMDw6sKOb/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Patricia Gray Photography Wistler" width="620" /></a> <br /> <br />Fresh fruit for our morning brunch.

Just after World War II, the furniture designer Walter Lamb, began experimenting with bronze and copper tubing salvaged from sunken naval ships at Pearl Harbor and constructing prototypes incorporating canvas and yacht roping. The result was a collection defined by it's sculptural curves, sturdy construction and superb comfort. Today, Walter Lamb's furniture is still as timeless as ever and is still handcrafted to Lamb’s rigorous specifications by <a href="http://www.brownjordancontract.com/products/view.php?by=1&val=Walter" target="_blank">Brown Jordan</a>. For modern use Brown Jordan has replaced the bronze pipe with weatherproof brass, which over time will develop a rich patina. Vintage pieces of Lamb's are now selling at starting prices of $5,000.00. Which <strong>goes to prove that nothing that is well designed and well crafted is 'ever out of style'.</strong></p><p align="justify"></p><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYvrLMX-Ph-nAESR0JIl8Z1KZa3r7q9IsXqiCL_UbzJhLMFFTye62TUZPDUPzKtUQX7Yn9SEFARNL1i73B1LxTBVAdjRXtWp98nHBSyO4UY_CnAmTZ0hVYYSr8iuiAEiM-zYsbMtIxw_PF/s1600-h/image%5B22%5D.png"><img alt="Walter Lamb Brown Jordan" border="0" height="149" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_b3sRr4o617LqThdWbI2v1JuR5Oq5wKkeLktc_T_g0jANmzf70oT65TMBi8tl9TRao_0LsKdsih-VLP7E1IKyGtZZvW1TK42QwUCxfdpcJB2HL6YNtkqKQkqdGw9ESBhpvGBm5zFuey_x/?imgmax=800" style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px" width="300" /></a> </p><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh05qWJ8GxP9jBcIDrRTPP2yOZbnY4MUkYly5mvXCH_wEjCaL7OZZXborJPaclUk1bvjtRlMB6JkcUm31wm5iSmpGnyyGIzE6CkXy8HjNXoSA133HMdQxTAjMBkmQ3IgzfrOYI5SdqDJBsW/s1600-h/image%5B23%5D.png"><img alt="Walter Lamb Brown Jordan" border="0" height="261" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQRvMEvEb-3qobqz08RyIcPt5gbfoCW47dzTP2S4uz4Yazkuo1r89y-l-RsZL9IHT5mc_r9sbXDrDYR92o8lxVGCULnAHNAbvqDWjAelkIjvhVfuSMj7AHTkXqKdFCUIViMVBRyP9zy9GT/?imgmax=800" style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px" width="300" /></a> </p><p align="center"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5UFK80O_k81pYjl0DIuKme3NHvFTYBuFtF6kIjg951lnCGexwj4d62HLtpsmtUfWEKMm4slYIwCS2xklXlRpLf1kDW7Z0n9Crw26NP1bmcYx1FRHk0vVSOks9Idk1YoQkQn9Ce_Vwtcz1/s1600-h/image%5B15%5D.png"><img alt="Walter Lamb Brown Jordan" border="0" height="175" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizvtHyYY9RR9QacreaOA3XzswguAYpSuzrmhOIt-AyU59Bce8TrEckf3kAKRm755xBRbHNvN-gptbmI2PNRQv0EwjvaowERQ53UuxT8xns_yn0rgEBvJKXWN8AMFRq4FkfyKMSKeKHW2PB/?imgmax=800" style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px" width="240" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYdJZPSORn1E3ptxLVFflno-PTZBHm6t9_7uw7f20K0hkJQ9v6J2BMRcFrpxf9lS5ThWJoqaFhDoEGp-FPAyiMSWpX8rlTCpUaP-VNxeMI4MboyiSgiP3y4We8OkF6MDdk2FxUs-ak2HZ9/s1600-h/image%5B19%5D.png"><img alt="Walter Lamb Brown Jordan" border="0" height="165" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi73ezCUb9j806WdNp6YtQFjLVifQxHNmE5p6pJoUq0jqDc-HHZwExV03WNA6TGZbnYuVPpHJ3nsAPIT4U2Y5vW_kDc6Doz7WE7dKY6j0cA2IS-yOlixvcYfpbD_LO3buqtEtqCVIwq1m-D/?imgmax=800" style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px" width="240" /></a> </p><p align="center">Left: <strong>Vintage 1940's</strong> Walter Lamb Brown Jordan Rocking chaise in bronze, canvas and yacht roping.<br />Right: <strong>Vintage 1940's</strong> Walter Lamb Brown Jordan Bronze chaise rewebbed in cotton yacht cord.<br /><br /><strong><a href="http://patriciagrayinc.com/"><span style="font-size:78%;">Patricia Gray</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;"> writes about 'WHAT'S HOT 'in the world of Interior Design, new and emerging trends, modern design,<br />architecture, and travel, as well as how your surroundings can influence the world around you.<br /></span><a href="http://patriciagrayinc.com/"><span style="font-size:78%;">© 2007-2009 Patricia Gray Interior Design Blog</span></a></strong></p></div>
