Dollarton Highway & Roche Point – North Vancouver Vancouver, BC


Image by kk+

These photos are out in front of my new house on Dollarton Highway in North Vancouver on the way out to Deep Cove in British Columbia, Canada. Here’s a couple expiraments with keeping the shutter open longer at night to get the motion blur. This one is 10 second exposure on a Canon 20d DLSR using a Canon 24-70mm f/2.6 L-series lens.

I don’t really know what I’m doing but it’s fun stuff. I might go downtown tonight where there is more action and try again.

Would love any advice or feedback on shooting things like this… moving lighted things at night to get a cool blur. Thx.
