Victoria at Night Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Victoria Government Parliament Buildings on Vancouver Island in the Province of British Columbia, Canada proudly fronts the Inner Harbour. The harbour is the main gathering place for activity in Victoria. The BC Government Parliament Buildings looks out over the yachts and sailboats moored in the marina and a two level waterfront walk-way.

Image taken late at night. The setting for this city is truly beautiful and the weather excellent, at least for the summer season as I heard they get lots of rain during winter. I took this image from outside the Information Center. Enjoy :-)

It is a beautiful shot. I like the way the foreground marina blends well in the view of the old Parliament House. You did manage very well a difficult and obtain superb colours. Well done.

Bonjour Roberto,
bien vue et réalisée cette prise à la 'blue hour'.
Malgré une clarté faible, les lumières capturées donnent bien l'occasion de voir pas mal de détails de ce petit port à l'vant plan, pour équilibrer le fabuleux monument éclairé de l'arrière plan.
Amicalement.
Daniel.

Roberto,

Really that's a postcard picture, a very nice blue hour composition like out of a fairytale. Great colors and DOF. I like the reflection of the lights in the marina.

Best regards

Hello Roberto,
Would indeed make a good postcard. A fine night time composition of this nicely lit building, which stands out well against the dark blue sky.

Hello Roberto,
Hmmm, why is it that politicians always give themselves the best position, must be one of the perks of the job.
Beautiful shot, wonderful colours and a fine POV.
All the best for a good weekend.

Peter

Hola Roberto:

Feliz de volver a observar tu grandiosa galería. Sin duda de que es una toma nocturna preciosa.

El encuadre perfecto y equilibrado, detalla cada elemento con buena definición, a pesar de la penumbra, lo que demuestra que el largo tiempo de exposición, fue muy acertado.

Excelente, como siempre. Afectuoso saludo desde Colombia, John

Hello Roberto, I have cousins in Victoria, I hope one day soon to visit but in the meantime I will look at your photo & just wish I was there. Fantastic colours in the marina with the lighting on Parliament house an eye-catcher. Exposure & aperture appear to be just about perfect. A beautiful image.
Thanks
