I had the IMMENSE pleasure to go photograph the international fireworks competition last night, starts at 10pm and lasts all of a half hour, but WOW, what a half hour! This morning though, my undereye bags have bags of their own
But it was SO worth it! I met up (through meet-up groups lol) with Montreal’s Shutterbug Group and met 4-5 other members and had a blast. They we’re each so fun to chat with and I got some new tips and pointers to jazz up my shooting and I hope they each came away with something too
I would have loved to photograph the people around me, but we we’re too far for the fireworks to illuminate the people enough, well, for my current lenses anyway, they kept hunting for focus… oh well, still got a lot of amazing shots and would you believe they we’re all handheld?! Well, I won’t post the badly shaky ones… well, maybe one! lol

Old Port Fountain

Camera shake that WORKS

Love the colors

The show you can see when you are ON site

Green burst reflection

Twin hearts

This is what Id call my clearest image of the night

The moon and its reflection on the Saint-Laurence

The Old Port Clock Tower we were shooting from

The line up to get out of the parking lot we walked through, CRAZY!

Thus why I took the Metro to and from
