Covering all the bases, from computer art forms to fine arts to … well, one of the first of the modern art forms, photography! This MIST1016 landscape photo of Vancouver’s recent blood moon was taken by Diane Smithers (the watermark doesn’t lie!) and while photography is consigned to always play an unglamorous second fiddle role when in the same orchestra as Photoshop and After Effects, it can still be humbling when you realise that what you’re looking at on your computer screen isn’t purely an assemblage of electrons, but an actual representation of the real world! If she missed this shot after humping her camera gear up the staircase she couldn’t just reset the simulation!

(And for 604 appeal there, in the foreground, are the condos of Yaletown and Vancouver’s West End.)
