Light Up The Sky






I keep getting drawn back to the Olympic searchlights as I think of new ways and new angles to shoot them.


Nikon D700 and Nikon D3s, with Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 wide-angle zoom, Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 zoom and Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VRII zoom with Nikon 1.4x teleconverter.


I have to run 10K in the morning, so off to bed.  Another couple of hundred shots to go through in the morning...


It was cold enough to actually think they might be able to make snow in the mountains.


On the seawall I ran into two photographers here for the Olympics, one of them the official photographer for Oakley (?), an Aussie and an American up from California.  We chatted about good vantage points and I showed them my Cypress Bowl shot.  Needless to say, I think they're heading up there tomorrow night!  Both of them were in total awe of Vancouver as a city to shoot in.  They were at a loss for words to describe how beautiful they thought Vancouver was for photographing.  Made me proud of my little city!

  1. All these city lights...My grandfather, an electrical engineer, must be envious in his grave...he lit up the original Lion's Gate Bridge back in the '30s. James Muirhead was his name, a Scot. Let's have a moment's grateful reflection for all the art and science that's passed 'under the bridge', to get us where we've got. Amen.
