English Bay Vancouver at Night, May 2011 – Sony HX7V extreme low light test

here I test out the low light capabilities of the Sony Cybershot DSC-HX7V camera. I talk about the Vancouver downtown Seawall which is a beautiful place to explore and discover False Creek, English Bay, and Coal Harbor.

Shown in video:
-Burrard Bridge and Graville Island at night, looking over the False Creek entrance.
-The Vancouver Planetarium at night
-A discussion about the Vancouver Seawall
-Shot of the lights of apartment buildings in the West End of Vancouver
-Thanks very much for watching!! :)

the garbled editing artifacts at the beginning of the video seem to be an issue with Windows Live Movie Maker.

have a great day,
Geoff

“This beautiful ballad is featured on Pat’s newest recording Secret Story, and has been scored to highlight solo statements by flugelhorn, guitar or alto saxophone (your choice). It is a warm, pensive ballad with lush, moving harmonies in the Metheny vernacular, and scored for ease of performance and maximum emotional impact. As recorded on Bob Curnow’s L.A.
