Daily Photo(s): Waiting for the Light to Fade

duranc (41)in #vehiclephotography • 7 years ago (edited)

Sunsets at Kits Beach, Vancouver are the best. On this particular night, the boats were there anchored in anticipation of the annual Celebration of Light fireworks competition. Every 3-4 nights over the course of 2 weeks, a different country launches a 25-minute fireworks show synchronized to music. It's quite the spectacle! Every year we try to make it out and brave the intense crowds. I have yet to get out on a boat for the fireworks competition, but one can dream can't they?

I love the fact that I was able to capture this using an old entry-level DSLR and a cheapo 75-300mm lens on a tripod. Sometimes it's how you use the camera and not what you use. If you peek carefully, you can see the outline of the moon.

Hope you enjoy the photo! I'm thinking about hot summer nights now on this cold, rainy Vancouver day.

Couldn't agree more. That's why it drives me nuts when someone says "oh your camera takes nice pictures". But in reality it's how you use it. Put me in a professional kitchen and I'd be lost.

That's like saying "oh your pan makes great omelettes", "your golf club makes nice putts", or "your computer writes excellent blog posts". There's so much time that goes into photography!!!
