For the next while most of my photos will be night time as that’s the only time I really have to get some practice. For this session I just headed down to a nice little spot that give a nice view of the Alex Fraser Bridge and the Fraser River shoreline. This location is pretty cool when the tide is out as there are some nice remnants of old water front structures. One almost looks like a sunken wooden boat with the ribs of the boat showing.

The photo of the city skyline is of Burnaby BC about 10KM away, This was shot from a lookout on River Road in Delta BC.

Headed out to Vancouver to do some night photography. First stop was False Creek/Olympic Village and to take a shot of Rogers Arens. Managed to get one shot sequence of 5 shots 2EV to make a night time HDR image.

I changed positions and climbed down to the water over some boulders. The are was super slippery. Made it down and set up the tripod, 5 seconds alter the camera decided to wanted to skinny drip. It went lens first into the water submerging the whole lens. Yah good times, good times.

So a few days later thanks to Olympus and Panasonic weather sealing everything seems to be working.
