Celebration of Light

The Celebration of Light kicked off on Saturday in Vancouver with China’s display of fireworks. The first time I watched the fireworks show was four years ago and I was pretty certain that it would be the last time unless I knew a friend who lived in a high rise with a great view near the area.

If you don’t mind the crowds and the gridlock afterwards, then it’s worth watching. This time around I really wanted to photograph the fireworks with my dslr camera. I decided to take them from a bridge where I could get a good vantage point. Even though I got there an hour early, there were already quite a number of folks waiting on the bridge. Luckily, I still found a good spot to plop down my tripod and take some shots.
