The 9 O'Clock Gun

The 9 o'clock gun in Stanley Park fires as the stars hang over downtown Vancouver.

This was taken on yesterday's photowalk with about 60 other people, so I was happy to get a shot with nobody else in the frame.

Very tough blending job -- there are 5 or 6 differnet exposures contributing to this shot. I'm not totally happy with the results, but it's not too bad.

See the stars by viewing it large!
