Vancouver

I wanted more color in the sky, so I came back here on the Cambie Bridge again. It was a warm summer evening. Perfect for a stroll…

Statue of Harry Jerome, world record-setting Canadian track and field runner. In my first attempt the statue turned out too dark. So I hit Harry’s face with a Speedlight gelled with half-cut CTO, off to camera right. (The sync cord was barely long enough.) I thought a little bit of warmth goes a long way…

Quite a climb down the rocks to get this shot. But it was worth it...

Practice with my B+W 10-stop ND filter.   ISO 100 33mm f/10 148s   My poor Dad was acting as my assistant, keeping kids from running in front of my camera during the long exposure. Trust me, it was not an easy task. =)

Quickie panorama shot from the Cambie Bridge. Tail end of the blue hour was dying and I wanted to wrap up ASAP. Really needed to use the bathroom at that point as my coffee had kicked in again… =P
