Welcome to the Hotel Chemainus...

I recently had an opportunity to shoot some photos for the Best Western Plus in Chemainus. This was a fun challenge for me as I was using a tilt-shift lens and not shooting many photos with people. I do a lot of people photos...

The wide angle, 24mm, tilt-shift lens was interesting to work with. It definitely takes some time to get use to but the results are pretty good, especially for architecture. This lens, when used properly, doesn't have the distortion that wide angle shooting would normally give you.

After shooting some photos outside, it started to rain and I headed under cover for this shot then went inside for the interior photos.

I have to admit, I shot this one with my good old 50mm...

I was happy this fellow let me take his photo while working out. He is 74 years old and probably in better shape than me!

 

  

And here I got a couple photos of people! The manager and the front desk attendant were kind enough to sit still long enough for a photo.

 

And here is Peter (manager) with his award for his outstanding work!
