Evening At Peace Island Park – Taylor, BC. HDR Images

Peace Island Park

Peace Island Park

Last weekend I spent at Peace Island Park, which is just south from Taylor BC, across the bridge spanning the Peace River. I have been camping there for 30 years now and does it ever have more campers now! Well we used to be campers, with tents,  portable stoves, sleeping bags and out houses. Now a days everyone has a big rigs, with kitchens, double beds and their own toilets. My rig is the camper in one of the pictures below, and still use the outhouses as it it easer than flushing toilet tanks.

The park has expanded over the years, with new sites compleat with power and a new boat launch.

You now have to make reservations to camp there on the weekends as it all gets booked up (in the old island part anyways). Phone (250) 789-9295 Their web site is http://www.camping.bc.ca/Peace_Island_Park_1623MID.aspx

All these images are HDR shot with a Canon 40D and a Canon 17 – 40L USM. Taken hand held, with auto exposure bracket  -2, 0, +2 stops. RAW files developed in Lightroom V 2.3, HDRs created in Photomatix 3, and then tweeked again in Lightroom. Of course more time was spent on the top image.
