False Creek Transit

Pseudo HDR fom a single RAW file captured while diverting from our normal approach to Vancouver en route from Victoria.
This is an unusual perspective. Normally we approach from either East or West. We were on the eastern approach, but warnings of wind shear sent us to the western approach at the last minute. I was sitting in the co-pilot seat and heard the diversion directive on the headset.
So we flew along False Creek for a bit before rounding Stanley Park and making our landing behind the skyscrapers on the horizon that rim Coal Harbor. Note the new giant Shangrila is literally in the clouds.
This perspective is looking North along Granville street. On this side of the bridge is Granville Island, a very cool place to visit when you come to Vancouver, which I hope my photos will make you want to do.
[A new ecstaticist feature] PP notes: I overdid the noise reduction. I have a low tolerance for noise and this means I sacrifice detail, which might not always be the right decision. I think I need to learn more about layering and masking so I can remove noise in areas and keep detail in other areas. Suggestions are welcome for my own learning and other who read below. You can see what I mean in the larger and original sizes.
