Douglas/Uptown - Topaz Reference Image
Jan 20, 2011 7:41 PM PST
2.5 blocks away from the fields on Jackson Street.
Facing Northwest. Centre of frame is Uptown (red Future Shop sign visible to the left of the low trees).
This is a reference image for the Topaz Park photo - they were taken one minute apart using identical exposure settings to illustrate how much more light is spilled into the sky by the playing field.
Keep in mind, this reference image is of one of the most light polluted areas of Victoria, since the sky shown is above Douglas Street between Mayfair Mall and Uptown, as well as Save-On Foods mall, the Highway 1 corridor and numerous car dealerships.
