This is when I went to drop off my computer to the Apple Store downtown Vancouver. I took some time to walk around and take some pictures. I found some great images. I found out some other things as well, such as that now the HOV lane, or carpool lane, is now called the Olympic Lane. I also couldn’t help but notice that the entire city is on Olympic Game mode and road closures have started to take effect. For some reason I saw a lot of olympic games related stuff that was pink; pink skis, pink boots, pink skates. A lot of pink skates!

No lighting info. Small adjustments in Lr.

Today we went and visited some great friends where we had dinner. Jacob makes an amazing Caesar Salad and while he was preparing it, I was playing with the candles that Claudia arranged on the table and was working on getting today’s shot. When he was done, I put the salad on the table instead, bounced a flash on the ceiling and had this shot by the fourth frame. The “original” shot is somewhere else. It’s interesting how I like the non setup stuff better. I like the mix of colours here – candle light with bounced flash. I’ll talk about color temperature some other time. Suffice it to say that the candle light appears very very warm, while the flash, which is supposed to imitate daylight appears much cooler when combined with candle light in the same frame.
Here goes Caesar Salad à la Jacob. Day 87.
