Day 126 - May 7, 2013

I had a great photography course tonight with Rob. We went to Stanley Park and worked on our shutter speed and played with light. The photo above was taken at F22, 100 ISO and a 15 second shutter speed.
Here, Rob traced the outline of the Harry Jerome statute with his flashlight while we all took pics. This time we used F7.1, 100 ISO and a 15 second shutter speed.
My shutter speed ran out before Rob was able to finish spelling out Canucks.This was when they were in overtime at 3-3, before they ended their run in this season's playoffs.
