Missing a colorful opportunity

christopher575Since it was a holiday yesterday, I didn't leave super early for my walk. I'm used to them being so dark lately, it didn't even occur to me that there would be a good opportunity for a time lapse.
One frustrating thing about the marina is how safe it feels down there due to all the lighting, which in turn overtakes a lot of the photo opportunities.
Sometimes you get far enough away from them, though.
Being there later meant I could get some good seal photos. I see them all the time down there, but it's always too dark.
The second seal shot was made possible via a guest dock that I walked on for the first time yesterday. I've walked by it probably a hundred times, was the door open every time? No clue. I also got a shot of the Weyerhaeuser Muse from a new angle.
The Olympics looked amazing, but of course in photos they look tiny.
I've come to the conclusion that it needs to be at least this bright out before you can use the wide-angle lens on my phone. When it's darker out, it looks terrible.
The water was gorgeous and I loved the squiggly reflections.
I can't get too frustrated when I miss an opportunity for a time lapse. There's just no point. All you can really do is move on and make another.
