The skyline of Vancouver

A lovely view at sunset over the skyline of Vancouver…

When we were in Vancouver, we rented an apartment with this stunning view. When I first walked in and saw this view, I was so happy and hoped for some nice light. Luckily, that afternoon it started looking great, and then sunset was just gorgeous. I just stood on the balcony and fired away. It was probably the least amount of effort I ever needed for a sunset. I only had to walk about 10 feet from the couch!

Sunset in Vancouver

A lovely sunset over the equally lovely skyline of Vancouver, Canada!

Sometimes you get lucky with the view!

We rented an apartment when we visited Vancouver last year, and it just so happened that it was way up high with an amazing view. You don't always get that - in fact, often you don't - but we did in this case and I capitalized on it. What this really means is that I spent a lot of time on the balcony with my camera in hand. But hey, no complaints!

Vancouver sparkles

Vancouver Canada is a beautiful city, and I had the best view of the skyline when I was there...

I love shooting skylines, especially when the light is beautiful!

When we were in Vancouver, we lucked into an amazing AirBnB with this outrageous view of the city. When I first walked into the apartment, I went straight to the balcony to check it out, and started shooting about 5 minutes later (even though it was daytime). When the day ended and the lights started coming on, I was on the balcony with the tripod and all that so I could fire away. It's rare to get an exceptional view in a hotel, but this apartment was perfectly situated, plus I had a balcony so there was no issue with shooting through the glass.

And by the way, this is an HDR photo made with the amazing new Aurora HDR 2018. If you want to learn about that and get in a preorder for this new version, check out my lengthy blog post here which includes screenshots, sample images and a video, too.

The skyline of Vancouver

A look at the skyline of Vancouver, Canada...

Wow, Vancouver Canada is quite a city!

I have been to Vancouver before, but it was many years ago. We stopped there for a few days on our road trip and really enjoyed it. It didn't hurt that this was the view from our AirBnB rental! I literally just walked onto the balcony and fired away, about 5 times a day. In fact most of my shots from Vancouver are of this view, it was so awesome!
