A few shots from our complex in southeast Burnaby, BC tonight.

A test shot before the big event

Some folks on FB have been asking about my setup, so here it is:

Tamron 150 – 600 on a Nikon D7200, ISO 6400 or 12800. Manfrotto medium-weight tripod with Vanguard SBH-100 ball head. Small LED flashlight to be able to see and manipulate camera controls. Left it on Aperture Auto exposure, took lots of shots with exposure compensation ranging from -1.0 to -3.3 stops.

BTW, 12800 was noticeably grainier than 6400, perhaps too much so. . .
