the Orloj

The Prague Astronomical Clock or Prague Orloj.

I took a picture of it last weekend and here are different versions of its edit!  

Normal with the colours enhanced. 

Classic black and white. 

Dark and gloomy. 

Vibrant with high contrast. 

Location: Old Town Square, Prague

on Granville Bridge

Finally a night without rain! I went out with my camera and tripod and took some pictures on Granville Street Bridge. Most of them did not turn out that well (especially not on the big screen), but here is my favorite one of the bunch: 

Caught the moving bus in the picture!

Wishing there were more sunny days in Vancouver right now. The constant rain outside combined with the pile of school work and approaching deadlines is getting to me.

A warm and sunny day today. Didn't have to bring too much stuff to school so I brought my camera with me. Took this picture of campus while I was sitting under a big oak tree with my classmate, Chaitra. Both just taking a break and eating a pumpkin spice muffin from the Tim Hortons across the street. 

brightness variation

Modified the brightness of the same picture by playing with the Curves. 

red, yellow, blue

Went to a grad dance party last night with some of the people in my MAPPS program. Had a very fun time dancing with them and meeting new people there!

vintage effect

Yay! I just learned a new way to give my photos a "vintage look" thanks to an article I found online. If you are interested, you can click here to see the tutorial.

With vintage effect

I like it!
I will post more vintage photos using this method in the future.

I am so sleepless every night!
Have too many random ideas floating in my head.
Already 2:30am right now...
