Light on Lights

Sometimes after working on a bunch of pictures for a couple of hours it gets hard to decide what to post. Maybe you just can't pick which one you like best, or maybe you've been fiddling with them all for so long that you're just not sure whether all the little tweaks have added up the right way.

Today I liked the way one shot worked out in terms of final processing product, but ultimately I had to face the fact that I should have taken more time with the shot in the first place - the subject/composition just wasn't sufficient. Nuts.

On the other hand, when I took this shot [well there were a series of them actually] I was pretty sure that I'd wasted my time. The camera kept coming up with horrid previews and I really didn't think that I'd managed to capture any of the light at all. Nice surprise when I got home and downloaded to the computer. And of all the shots I processed tonight, this one probably required the least. I wish I'd taken my tripod with me though - this would have been a really great opportunity for an HDR image.

Oh, in case you're wondering, the pier-like thing going out into the water is the YVR runway lights.
