North Shore Vibe and The Fire Breathers

Ran an absolutely fabulous 25K (14.5 miles) on Sunday morning, over three glorious hours.  Took along my Panasonic Lumix for the run and got pictures of a bob-tailed (I kid you not) raccoon and a trumpeter swan and Melissa's first half-marathon (13.1 miles).  Pictures still to be downloaded.


Then I brunched, napped, and went to North Vancouver's Lonsdale Quay to shoot Vancouver's skyline from another angle and to meet up with Miss Marissa Molotov, a Fire Breather.  Not kidding.  Go to -- www.MissMolotov.ca -- Shot five hundred frames over five hours.  These are just some samples.  Many more to go through with proper diligence.


Shot on a Nikon D700 and Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 and 70-200mm f/2.8 VRII lenses.  Will want to do, "The Fire Breathers", or is that, "The Fire Eaters"?, again.  Getting the exposure right was crazy!   And then the Police came to see what we were doing.  No, really.  Again, not kidding!
