This place be known as Horseshoe Bay, it's just outside of Vancouver. It's mainly a ferry terminal community.

It's amazing, when I lived on Vancouver Island I dreaded having to take the ferries just to get to Vancouver. Last summer I went back to Canada for my sister's wedding and sat out on the view deck for the entire trip in absolute AWE!!!!!!!!!!! You don't realize how beautiful it is there when you've lived there your whole life eh? Now that I've been away, I really do appreciate the beauty. Great pics by the way and Cheers for the trip down memory lane:D

I like the first shot aswell, although it seems a little fake to me. Just because there are halos around the mountains...maybe due to over sharpening or excessive use of the shadow/highlight type of tool in photoshop. Have you stacked a polarizing filter on top of a UV filter? I'm just asking as there seems to be vignetting at the corners. Nice captures, I'd love to go to a place like that.

Yes, I kicked it up a bit in PS Elements 5. There was a slight halo before I did levels and shadows, PS just heightened the effects.

The vignetting is also added with PS Elements. I just like the effect. I didn't use any filters on the lens.

Here's the original from raw, only resized.

i like the before pic better as a regular photo...but the after/edited looks like something that could be on a postcard.

Yep, love the first shot also & the 10-22 is a great lens.

Yeah - lose the halo around the mountains on the first one and you have a weiner! "So many lenses, so little money...:( "

That before pic is pretty bloody good for RAW right out of the camera IMO

[achuang]

I agree with forno, that before pic looks great especially right out of camera.
