Photography blunder #1

Last night, Simon, Rebecca, and I headed out to try to catch Siwash Rock at Sunset. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Vancouver, Siwash Rock is a tall, standing rock that sits in the shallow water just off Stanley Park. It appears in billions of tourist brochures. It’s probably the most photographed chunk of rock in BC.

Well the first mistake we made was leaving about an hour too late. By the time we got to the park, it was already dark. We quickly got lost on the trail and decided to head back. For our efforts, I have one fuzzy, night-vision photo of Ev.

Rebecca and Simon, on the other hand, shared my ickle automatic digicam and took dozens of cool abstract photos of city lights. Which proves that you do not need a fancy professional camera to take interesting photos in difficult lighting conditions. It made me look pretty silly, walking around with a tripod and a man-purse camera bag.
