That is Roslyn on the far left and Anita on the far right. The instructor/guide has the blue life jacket on.

Stonecutters Bridge
This timelapse had 636 fames, starting at 6:07 pm and ending at 7:31pm. The interval was 8 seconds. Photography started at f8, 1/40th of a second at ISO 100 and ended at f8, 4 seconds, ISO 320.

Saiwash Rock With Freighters
I have a soft spot for when the clouds are darker than the horizon.

Trestle Walkway With Freighters
This is the view from the road above the walkway. Someday there will probably be a house where I am standing.

Freighters Under Lionsgate At Sunset
This video took a look of work to get. I tried shooting this once before but the clouds were too heavy which lead to a very blah sunset and I misconfigured the camera (ISO was not in automatic) which lead to a variable interval (the clouds speed up).
This sequence is 1064 frames, taken every 8 seconds. I started at 7:51pm at f6.3, 1/3200 (-2 exposure compensation) and ended at 10:13pm at f4.5, 6 second exposures). It was shot in aperture priority mode.
I was standing on the lions gate bridge which introduces some challenges. First - the bridge has lights and you can see them start to dominate the park lighting in the last 1/3rd of the video. The much bigger problem is that the bridge moves a LOT. The frames have both a vertical translation and rotation element. I used ffmpeg to reduce the motion, but because this image is dominated by the clouds and boats I had to mask out (using a blur) much of the image so that the video stability detect code could find the motion. The code was:
# Gather the source images into a movie:
ffmpeg -framerate 30 -pattern_type glob -i 'DSC_*.jpg' -c:v libx264 LionsgateFreightersHg.mp4

# blur out most of the movie except the cliffs on the left and the mountains on the right
/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -i LionsgateFreightersHg.mp4 -filter_complex "[0:v]boxblur=50[bg];[0:v]crop=w=1078:h=987:x=0:y=1038[fg];[bg][fg]overlay=0:1038[c];[0:v]crop=w=1125:h=516:x=2114:y=776[fg];[c][fg]overlay=2114:776" -map 0:v blurredVideo.mp4

# Use the blurred video to generate the transform estimates. Because of the minimum constrast requirements, the stability detect can't detect the clouds. ocean or boats.
/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -i blurredVideo.mp4 -vf vidstabdetect=stepsize=16:shakiness=4:accuracy=15:mincontrast=0.4:show=1 cropVectors.mp4 -f null -

# Use the transform vectors to make the final video.
/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -i LionsgateFreightersHg.mp4 -vf "vidstabtransform=input=transforms.trf" -crf 20 LionsgateFreightersStabilized.mp4

There are a few large ships in this timelapse. The first is the Bulk Carrier Kinoura followed by the Island Trader Tank Barge and finally the Bulk Carrier Sunny Hope. There are at least a dozen smaller ships including a police boat.

Pipers Lagoon View Of Gabriola
There is very little to align on here (just the bit of Gabriola above the water so this image is actually bent (the ocean level isn't flat).

Vancouver From Burrard Dock Pier
This was shot at 42mm. I took a photo every 10 seconds from 6:28am to 8:18am - 664 frames. Exposure started at f5.6 8 second (under exposed 1 and 2/3rds stops) and ended at f14, 1/50th of a second. I like to under expose and bring it up in post so that I can keep detail in the bright areas.

Freighters Before Storm
From where we were standing on the pier, we could see the North Shore mountains disappearing behind an approaching wall of rain.

Smog Sunset
This is the sun at least half an hour from hitting the horizon - the smog is so thick it feels like sunset. The smog is likely from agricultural burning in Asia but it's hard to be sure.

Car Transport

These big ships bring in most of Vancouver's (and I can only assume much of North America's)
cars.  This ships look terrible, but the cars filling the lot look great.
