Very occasionally, Vancouver sees some especially stunning sunsets, where the last rays of the setting sun light up the clouds from underneath, causing the sky to light up with colour.
These conditions are rare, hard to predict, and last only for a couple of minutes, so catching one is extremely tricky! However, last week I was lucky enough to be in the right place (or close enough) at the right time to catch this brief but stunning sky.
I wasn't expecting it, so even though I had my camera with me, I had to rush to get set up before the conditions passed. I managed to capture this five photo panoramic image of Coal Harbour, the seawall, and the seaplane terminal, with the light in the sky reflecting in the still water. Less than a minute after I took the final photo, the colour faded from the clouds as the sun passed below the horizon.
I'm a British software developer and photographer living in Vancouver, BC. I mainly photograph landscapes, cityscapes, night scenes, and water.

So gorgeous! Love at first sight, but love it even more reading your text. A five-photo panoramic! In the fleeting light of a sunset! So seamless and beautiful, definitely a fav. And MUST be viewed large.
Absolutely gorgeous. And apparently mesmerizing because I keep on studying it. A fav most definitely. (This could easily be a postcard, poster, wall mural, travel brochure cover....)
Alexis your attention to detail is remarkable. No keystoning, tack sharp from front to back, perfect blending of highlights and shadows and your eye for composition and line is wonderful. It's easy to fav your images. Thanks for sharing them and inspiring us too.
Thank you so much for all your recent favs of my work Alexis! I can't tell you how much that means to me!
