We spent a long weekend in Vancouver in March and found some time for a day trip to Grouse Mountain. I brought my Fujifilm X100T on the trip so I was able to get some images from my first visit to Grouse Mountain. On the Fujifilm cameras, the Astia preset is my favorite so I almost always end up processing my images using that preset. This time around, I decided to try something different and processed my images using the Velvia preset. I really like how the images turned out and this exercise was a good reminder of why I love shooting with the Fuji cameras so much.

Stanley Park Long Exposures with the Fujifilm X-T1
Stanley Park is a beautiful destination in the heart of Vancouver that is frequented by visitors and locals alike. During our time in Vancouver, we explored the park in our car, on foot, and by bike. The fact that the park is mostly surround by water made it an ideal place for me to shoot long exposures. Having the luxury of time also meant I could scout the locations I wanted to shoot and return later with my tripod and other long exposure gear. Here are three of my favorite long exposures from Stanley Park shot with the Fujifilm X-T1 and XF 14mm lens.
Siwash Rock - 125 seconds at f/16
Lions Gate Bridge and North Vancouver - 90 seconds at f/11
Stanley Park Seawall - 85 seconds at f/11

Lynn Canyon Park
During my last trip to Vancouver, I visited Capilano Suspension Bridge Park. This time around, we decided to visit Lynn Canyon Park. While Lynn Canyon Park may not be as popular as Capilano Suspension Bridge Park, in my opinion, it is every bit as beautiful. There's a suspension bridge, a waterfall, a swimming hole, and several hiking trails. Entry and parking is also free which makes it an ideal place to spend an hour or an entire afternoon.
