PROJECT: Halifax, Canada - scenes through the day

Here are some more shots of Halifax. They were taken over several days from two vantage points from the town of Dartmouth. I wanted the sunrise (rises in front of the skyline), daytime, sunset (sets to the right), dusk and darkness. The sunrise and sunsets were not spectacular but I got some interesting shots. Most of these shots involved me almost freezing to death since I spent 2-3 hours at each shoot. Sitting still on rocks in freezing temperatures. I also made several visits to find the right exposure and composition. But it was worth it. I think. All shots were taken with a tripod at shutter speeds upto 30 seconds. The exposure needed adjusting to push the histogram over to the right. Most of the shots were taken with the EFs 17-85 mm lens. The last shot was taken by attaching the camera to the underside of the tripod so that it was hanging upside down very close to a rock that was sitting low down on the water's edge. This allowed me to pick up lots of the reflections. Comments greatly encouraged.
