<p>These are some sorely disappointed Canucks fans. We were watching on the jumbo outdoor screen at Hamilton and Georgia during the first period of game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final 2011 against the Boston Bruins. The Bruins had just scored their first goal at this point, but those are some sad faces. It got worse&#8230; ugh</p>

<p>I took this photo from the balcony outside the 9th floor lunch room in Shaw Tower with my new camera. I am very happy with the Nikon D5100. I still have lots to learn, but for the price point I couldn&#8217;t turn it down as my first DSLR. Carol&#8217;s already got one but this is the first one I have to drag around with me.</p>
<p>The tilt shift effect is an in camera effect. I like &#8220;in camera&#8221; better than buying an expensive lens or having to do it in post. It doesn&#8217;t look as faked.</p>
