Acadia Beach ~ June

Acadia Beach is located west of Spanish Banks, below the bluffs of the UBC Endowment Lands. Although all photos were captured around the same time from the same location, the changing light and differing viewpoints provide some variety.

Rocks & Water
We arrived at Acadia Beach not expecting much of a sunset due to the lack of clouds. However, I took advantage of the beautiful Vancouver evening and captured these photos as the sun fell below the horizon.

Setting Sun
In this and the previous shot, the rock and bolder strewn shoreline is very evident. This is typical of most of the inner coastline of BC.

Bowen Island
All the photos in this gallery were taken within 30 minutes of each other. Golden hour is defined as the 30 minutes before and after the sun dips below the horizon. It provides the best light for photography, particularly if there is broken cloud cover. Before the sun disapears, the clouds reflect a pinkish light and after a golden yellow light.

End of Day
There was probably another 15 minutes of good light left, but this was the last shot I took that evening.
