I had been chasing a shot from this location for quite some time! I have spent many nights here with all my gear setup and ready to go, but had been unsuccessful in capturing something that I really wanted to share. I had just got a brand new camera, and found myself on Vancouver Island shortly after. Of course being very excited to try it out I thought, why not go up to the training grounds and see what happens. The sky was just a little hazy, which isn’t typically my preference but certainly doesn’t stop me from getting out. I was having an issue with the hard light reflecting off the water, but once the sun dropped just below the horizon the city lights started to balance with what was in the sky. It turns out the haze came in handy too as it provided the perfect backdrop giving the sun and the sky the opportunity to work together and show its natural colours.
This is truly a million dollar view!
