I might have been more impressed if I hadn't found out there were many, many torches. They're selling the things off apparently. Plus the torch gets driven around and such. Not like a straight trek across country. It was the biggest joint I have ever seen though. Not surprising since the Olympics are in BC.Originally Posted by kat
Get your photos, Bambi?

I have no interest in getting a torch. My husband said that he had heard that the Coke people who carried the torch were given theirs, but the CIBC ones had to buy them.I might have been more impressed if I hadn't found out there were many, many torches.

Yes I got some pictures. this is the only part way decent shot
My camera does not do well in these lighting conditions. Plus I had so much fun at the beach that my battery was almost dead-oops
but it was cool to see it. My daughter came with me. when I saw it coming over the bridge I was bouncing on my toes saying 'I see it, I see it' . My poor child was 'mom!'

Great capture! Don't blame yourself, it's the lighting conditions. I really had a challenge myself. Maybe better gear would help but I think more experience might help too. I rarely take a shot at night.
I took half a dozen shots on one corner then took a shortcut to another vantage point before I got the two I posted. It's really fricken' tricky to shoot photos at night of moving subjects.

Who's next? Montreal? Do we have anyone in New Brunswick?
