Two Wet Mallard Chicks
I really wonder about Mallard Chicks at Stanley Park. They immediately walk up to people hoping for hand outs - they seem to have no fear. I wonder if they also walk up to predators. Tags: Stanley Park

Milky Way And Lighthouse At Stanley Park
I saw a post on the internet on how to bring out the milky way in very light polluted locations. I tried their procedure and sure enough - you can see it a little bit. There is also a meteor in this shot - the perseid meteor shower was starting. John Harvey Photo > Blogs for 2019 to 2005 > August 2016 > Milky Way And Lighthouse At Stanley Park

Feint Milky Way Above Trees
The contrast/lighting difference between the trees and the sky is quite difficult to overcome. I settled for a bit of "marine fog". John Harvey Photo > Blogs for 2019 to 2005 > August 2016 > Feint Milky Way Above Trees

Siwash Rock Making Star Trails
This is a 100 image, 30 seconds an image time lapse. I was planning on stacking them and lightening them to get star trails but the clouds flying by made that much harder than I anticipated. This is a 15 frames per second video. John Harvey Photo > Blogs for 2019 to 2005 > December 2015 > Siwash Rock Making Star Trails
