Tomorrow begins a 4 day event spanning 2 weeks of a fantastic display of pyro-musical fireworks by HSBC dubbed Celebration of Lights.
100 thousands of people will flock to English Bay and Kitsilano beach areas to get the best views of the fantastic display of pyrotechnics which almost didn’t happen this year due to lack of sponsors. Luckily sponsors stepped up to the plate including London Drugs, The Keg, Shore 104FM, and Concord Pacific. Thanks to the wonderful sponsors the following are the dates and countries represented in this years competition.
Wednesday, July 22, 2009 – Canada Night
Saturday, July 25, 2009 – S. Africa Night
Wednesday, July 29, 2009 – UK Night
Saturday, August 1, 2009 – China Night
As usual I’m sure the police will be out in full force as they make sure sure the public is well behaved and the crazy yahoo’s are kept in line (yeah I know I can dream can’t I?).
I’m hoping to make it to at least one of the events and hope to take some photos with my new Canon T1i.
I’ll be at every one

Remember Gus, use a tripod, that is if you have one!
If you can use a shutter release you set the camera to ‘Bulb’ via the shutter speed and then you just manually click the shutter, wait for a few seconds, and close it
As for focus, you can try and manually focus the camera to the spot where the fireworks are, or try and set it to infinite focus.
We believe we can see if from our balcony so I’m going to try it! If not, next week we’re doing a firework cruise!
