Location
Stanley Park, Vancouver BC, Canada at The Nine O'clock GunTime
Somewhere between 830pm and 855 pm it was a test shot before the firing of the The Nine O'clock Gun!Lighting
Time exposure nothing else!Equipment
Nikon D200, 20mm lens, cable release and a tripod.Inspiration
We were at the Nine O'clock Gun to take photos of the cannon shot that happens each night at 9pm. I thought I would get a shot of the calm before the nightly Bang! The Nine O'clock Gun used to signify the end of the fishing day in Vancouver, Now it is a tourist attraction, on another occasion when we were there to get photographs the cannon did not go off even though it was primed to do so!Editing

When this was taken a Nikon D200, some lenses and spare batteries.Feedback
Shoot at sub 200 ISO, take a tripod, cable release and try different exposure times.
