While November 27 2013 was a mostly cloudy day in Vancouver the city was treated to a brief blast of sunshine right at sunset. Here's a mellow fall sunset over the gulf islands in the Strait of Georgia west of Vancouver.

2013 11 Nov 19 Blustery Day 03a

Vancouver Canada's Sunset Beach on a particularily blustery (40 km/hr winds) day. Just right of dead center is the Burrard Street bridge which (so sad :( ) frames one of two beached sailboats I saw while walking the Seawall today.

Looking like a masterpiece created in the 16th century Flemish style English Bay Vancouver glows warmly in the setting sun.

2013 11 Nov 13 Mixed Bag 01a

Vancouver's West End.

Excluding the expensive bits.

In the back-back-background are the North Shore mountains, Cypress Mt. in this case and Vancouver's residential North Shore and West Van. suburbs.

Back-background is the Lion's Gate Bridge (mid far right). A photographer magnet. ... Like moths to a flame.

Background is Stanley Park. Just over a thousand acres (400 hectares) of second growth (100+ years) forest. Fresh pine scent at no additional charge.

Foreground is the West End of Vancouver.

2013 11 Nov 13 Cool Slow Mo CSM01 Rev 01 01a nn1

Granville Island Market settles into the evening.

Cool slow mo rev 01 - CSM01

White Balance at 2400'K, 5 +/- 1 f/stop sequence, HDR composited then warmed during post processing. Sort of like double casking scotch.

Nice.

English Bay sunrise - Sunday Nov. 10 2013.

Peach fuzz.

2013 11 Nov 10 Post Sunset 01a

Vancouver's H.R. MacMillan Space Center just past sunset on Sunday November 10 2013.

This is a new digital photography technique that I'm trying out. First I super cool the white balance on my camera down to 2500K. This is as low as my Nikon D300 will go and filters out much of the zombie-orange color cast that modern street lights create. I then take 5 exposures (on a tripod) from 1.3 seconds to 20 seconds in length (at f/6.3 in this case). I then merge these 5 images into one high dynamic range image and post process that image in yet in another program.

A lot of work but the results are worth it. Imaging having a pair of night vision goggles that could give you a color image like this?

2013 10 Oct 24 English Bay Afternoon Fog 21a

My first TV series photo-bomb.

In the back is camera and sound.

Next are our three actors.

Then comes the requisite Vancouver PD cruiser, lights on, cop A 'chatting' with cop B.

Next is the scene's curious but distant 'person walking by in the background' walking by in my foreground.

Then there's me taking the picture.

My guess is the series being shot is the ever excellent sci-fi show 'Continuum'. Many movies and TV shows are shot in Vancouver but 'Continuum' is one of the few that includes Vancouver clearly in its plot. Worth a watch if you're into sci-fi with a time travel twist. Two thumbs up.
