A theme of this year's 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver is lights. Lots and lots of lights. White lights. Bright lights. Many brightly coloured neon lights. There is even a website devoted to a "light show installation" -- www.vectorialvancouver.net -- where people can go (this means you) and even dream up your own light show. I guess the idea behind the "vectorial" is that the search beams blasting off into space cross over one another, creating criss-cross patterns of intersecting vectors of light. Or something like that. It is pretty.
Another theme is apparently dragging out every piece of public art ever conceived of in Vancouver and putting it out on display. Some is good. A few pieces are wonderful. Most of it is not. Frankly, I may put this photography thing to one side and concentrate on my large conceptual pieces.... I did enjoy light painting the latest new piece, which reminds me of a wave curling over as it hits a beach. Lovely.
Shot with my Nikon D700 and 14-24mm f/2.8 wide-angle zoom lens and 24mm-70mmm f/2.8 zoom lens.
ISO 200, exposures f/16-22, thirty seconds to three minutes.
Any favorites?

Vince, time to invest in a tilt-shift lens so you don't get your buildings all distorted like that (3rd pic).
