Yesterday was my last evening class downtown, so I guess I’ll have to find another another excuse to take night shots from the False Creek bridges. This time I was prepared with two sets of fresh batteries and got to the bridge a little later than previous weeks to coincide with the fireworks.

I’m glad to report that apart from all of the tripod geeks there was at least one person using the railing to balance her SLR. I mastered my fear long enough to learn a few lessons about timing the exposure just right to catch the fireworks in full bloom. There’s quite an art to it: maybe with some more practice I’ll do better than 2 decent photos out of 40. But I’m satisfied with the results and I think I’ll take a break from heights for a bit.
