A good night in Victoria
A pair of photos from lovely Victoria, British Columbia, Canada from my visit there last summer...
Sometimes you get a couple of good ones on the same night!
Not always, but sometimes. I'm always trying, of course, because who wants to go home without a bunch of good photos? Not me. Heck, I spent time and money getting there. I have to make it worthwhile, right? So on this particular night in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada I happened to get a nice sunset and then a lovely blue hour.
These shots are literally just a few steps apart, so it's not like I was wandering all over the place. It barely evens qualifies as walking, and certainly it's not exercise. But hey, I got some shots that I like, so no complaints from me.
I spent quite a while at the BC Parliament Building (first photo) during that lovely sunset, before hopping across the street to fire away at the Empress Hotel during blue hour (second photo). The entire town is pretty small, but this harbor area is really pretty and quite photogenic, so no need to go elsewhere anyways. :-)

Sometimes the action is behind you!
We were in Victoria, BC and I was busy shooting the amazing Empress Hotel. Since it was sunset, some nice warm light was falling on the facade of the hotel and it looked pretty awesome. But of course, I always look behind me too (just in case) and when I did I noticed just how incredible the light was looking. So here's a quick snap from that!

Lovely Victoria, BC really sparkles!
If you haven't visited Victoria, British Columbia yet, I think it's well worth it. It's not a big place but it's packed with charm and beauty. The Empress Hotel is the centerpiece of the beautiful harbor and I got out to shoot it during sunset one evening. I had some lovely clouds and with the harbor in front of it, it's hard to take a bad shot!
