Cleaning windows for our visit, a photo from British Columbia, Western

Photographer's Note

Cleaning Vancouver for our visit

It is difficult for me to choose the most fitting picture of our day in Vancouver with Craig.
How to find THE highlight of a day FULL of highlights.
Lars encouraged you with his first post to sail on to Vancouver and meet Craig.
I will show you what he will do for you.
He will clean all the windows of the many glass facades in the city so you can enjoy the beauty of the modern architecture, but he also will (if you dare) shows you the creepiest streets in town.

In the workshop I have posted a picture with Craig and Lars waiting until I was ready with taking pictures of other highlight of this beautiful city.

hello Rob, Funny title and note for this picture of your meeting with Craig. I like such scenes of people working high in the walls very much I find them very attractive and it only I have camera I make some photos.

Fantastic to see Craig and Lars in the working picture. Funny!.

Bonjour, cher Rob,
Toujours la pointe d'humour au bon moment. La rencontre entre les amis de TE, a d� 阾re passionnante.
Merci pour ces compositions originales.
Tr鑣 bonne journ閑.

Hello Rob,
Surely that's not Craig up there personally cleaning the city for you? ;-)
This is the kind of city shot I like. We get a sense of the very vertical architecture and there is something quite exciting going on. Although we can't tell how high up this is, it looks dramatic enough. Lots of graphically nice lines and fine blue and grey tones.
Best wishes,
Gert

Hello Rob,

I knew you would find something with lots of patterns or textures!
I like this, lots of verticals to contrast with the colour-toning horizontals.
I take my hat off to the window cleaner, what a stomach churning job!
So Craig booked him specially for your visit!
(TE members have a reputation for conviviality!)

I'm sure you will have a great holiday.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)
Thanks for the w/s. I love to additional photos of the TE members!

Hello Rob,
A job only for those who don't mind heights. An image ideally framed and with excellent colours and clarity.

Hi Rob,

You have captured well the action of the windows cleaner. The point of view is showing the details of the building. The design of the building has a graphical effect. Have a nice day.

Bonjour Rob,

J'esp鑢e que tu n'as pas trop 閠� g阯� par le tapis rouge continuellement sous tes pieds. Cela prend un certain courage pour faire ce genre de travail.

Amicalement

Hi Rob,what a honor,work in progress and cleaning time for your visit in Vancouver....ehehe....another great idea,always looking for geometries and this time with the man inside as a special bonus,and a lovely WS with Lars and Craig,i like it! Have a nice day and thanks,Luciano

ikeharel (93860) 2017-07-31 9:08

Hello Rob,
Yes, the windows were cleaned especially in honor of your and Lars visit... nice and fun idea.
Fantastic zoom and clear photo.
Good afternoon,
Ike

worldcitizen (11616) 2017-07-31 12:08

Hello Rob,
Craig might not actually clean skyscraper windows, but I think he WOULD climb up to get a good POV for a photo! Ha ha! :-) It sounds like you had a nice meeting, and I like this vertical composition. Nice close-up and focus on the window washer. In big cities there are certainly a lot of windows to clean!

jean113 (11751) 2017-07-31 14:08

Hello Rob,an unenviable job!
I hope that these window cleaners are well paid.
Excellent shot.
How high was the building?
Regards Jean.

Hallo Rob,
Zou deze dame familie zijn van de glazenpoetser van het Columbia Center? Niet iedereen ziet zo'n glazenwasser hangen, terwijl de vele verticale lijnen van het gebouw nog wel zo'n mooie achtergrond vormen.
Lars

Hansaphotos (10257) 2017-08-01 1:07

Hello Rob

I`m glad you had a nice TE-meeting with Craig in VC. A fine shot with nice graphical elements. A nice close-up of the architecture. The worker is well placed in the frame. Nice to see Craig and Lars in the WS. Fine work:) TFS.

Greetings, Erling

GyurMaster (13138) 2017-08-01 2:30

Dear Rob,

You have a good eye for everyday life outside the museums, too. :) Excellent snapshot!

Best Wishes,
Gy.

macjake (86233) 2017-08-01 3:58

Hi Rob
thats funny, i remember you capturing this scene, and i even turned to Lars and said - I knew he'd take that photo!! haha

I also remember thinking it may not turn out that well because its shaded and a bit dark, but hey...this looks pretty darn good to me!

fun shot, fun memory. I've been seeing all your posts on FB, lots of great Van City shots there! :)
cheers
craig

Dag Rob,

Wij hebben zware discussies gehad in de tijd, over het al dan niet reglementaire draadstoelen voor ruitenwassers.
Normaal moet men een systeem voorzien voor het wassen van de ruiten en gevels, ge飊tegreerd in het bouw concept, maar de werkelijk ligt soms heel anders, moet ik u niet van overtuigen.
Uw foto is goed genomen en zou opnieuw doen stof opwaaien.
Goed foto werk mijn vriend, alles ok� in Canada.

Prettige dag verder,
John.

Ciao Rob, lovely daily life composition with a woman at Dangerous work, as usual beautiful graphic, excellent clarity and fine details, very well done, my friend, ciao Silvio

gervaso (24183) 2017-08-02 9:06

Hello, Rob!

The lines formed by the windows make the composition very interesting, and the worker is perfectly placed on the photo! Interesting daily life scene captured here! Beautiful job!

lucasgalodoido (25892) 2017-08-04 9:42

Ol� Rob,
interessante registro aqui, sempre com um forte apelo gr醘ico nas linhas. Belo trabalho.
Parab閚s e Abra鏾,

Fantastic photo of this "acrobat". Very well chosen subject and fantastic composition, my complimennts Ryszard

Hi Rob,
I like this joint venture in which you and Lars compete to find the best picture with the most apprpriate title for your visit of Vancouver, under Craig's skilled, friendly guidance.
The girl alpinist is working hard to make the city look nice and clean for you.
Excellent shot taken with a zoom I expect.
Amazing details that let you see what the job is about !
Thanks for sharing.
Marie-Louise.

Hi Rob,

Nice capture of this worker cleaning the window at this height, most likely this building is so tall that scaffolding is not viable

I really have to salute them for their courage and passion for doing that, as it is never easy

Interesting notes you have too

Ralf

PaulVDV (44054) 2017-08-21 12:02

Hallo Rob,
Een aantrekkelijk grafisch beeld in een overheersend blauw.
Echt veel zitruimte heeft deze schoonmaakster niet. Deze dame is goed geplaatst in het beeld.
Vele groeten, Paul

jmdias (83559) 2017-10-07 1:33

rob

nice sample of the personage cleaning the fa鏰de with the vertical lines well framed at side. last month I took an image of this kind, with a professional in action too.facing the shard, my friend said me: I imagine how much work will be necessary to clean these windows...

hugs

jorge

Lidka (527) 2017-12-11 2:03
