Granville Street project

GRANVILLE STREET PROJECT

JOURNAL ENTRY, 01,01,2016, 06:15 hrs/. PST. Friday, my place, -5°C clear and cold, Mood 60/40

This is my sixteenth year of photographing Granville Street from the bridge to Georgia Street. That area was my hood from 1996-2006 when I moved to Gastown.

I always tried to start as soon as it was sunrise and worked it starting at the bridge and photographing both sides of the street all the way to Georgia. Most years it was clear or merely cloudy but one year I could not get out into the storm for three days because it was blowing and raining so hard the rain drops bounced.

I started out using my film Nikon F3 with 24mm f2,8 and my 300 mm ED IS and shot with Fuji hi speed black and white 1600 ASA film which I had developed and medium scanned to DVD disk so I could use whatever computer I had to put the results up on the internet in my blog.

I will be shooting this with large jpegs and Raw so I et two images for each shot and can convert one to black and white. I will using two lenses. My Tamron 18-240 and Ian's 11-16 Tokina.

Have 4sd and made my first coffee, will catch the 7:30 bus and arrive at Granville and Georgia at sunrise which is at 08:03 hrs. and start shooting before there is any traffic. Should be home and dry by 10 and have results up by 13:00 hrs..
