Busy Morning at the Pier - oh wait...dock

When I heard that the pier was closed I had no idea that it was CLOSED! I wandered down to take some morning images of the pier and the bay but it was much more challenging then I expected from past experience. The tiny dock in the canal is THE pier now so every boat had to pull in to load up and depart. it was like rush hour in Vancouver. Not only is a challenge for me as a photographer to find 30 seconds or so with no major movement, it's crazy for the people that need access to a proper pier. Here's to hoping this situation is resolved soon.

Here is one of this morning images. It turned out to be a beautiful morning despite a few rain drops when I was first setting up my tripod. Don't forget to click on the image to see it at a larger size.

I've got new challenges this year. I'm shooting a new Canon 5Ds which has a whopping 50 megapixel resolution. For a photo like this one, Ive stitched three pics together for a total resolution of 17,961 x 5,162 pixels. My poor laptop is having a meltdown over the file sizes. I can only tell it to do something and then sit back crack a soda (er beer) and wait for it to grind its way through the files.
