Inukshuk

Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Tamron 10 - 24
f/8 at 1/160
ISO 100
Nikon SB600 Speedlight
½ CTO Gel

This image was taken about 3 hours ago just after sunrise. Once again I was using my new wide-angle lens. The sun was just starting to hit the Inukshuk. I supplemented the sunlight with some flash with a half-CTO gel on it.

I am pleased with the resulting image. The light is quite nice and the buildings in the lower right corner help to balance the composition. Also, I like the fact that there was some clouds cover and not just a big blue sky.

This particular piece of art has been here since 1986 but may soon be dismantled as scientists have reported it is leaching acid into Burrard Inlet. This is not good for Vancouver since this sculpture was the inspiration behind the logo for the 2010 winter Olympics.
