I've always been a fan of fireworks. Boys love to hear things go boom.
One of the perks of where I live is that I am steps away from the
Montreal Fireworks competition every year and have discovered several
different locations to photograph them from. This particular shot came
from a vacant field just a bit before the Longueuil Marina. It was shot
using my Canon 30D and a Canon 70-300mm lens at 70mm. I was at ISO
100, f/8 with an exposure time of 14sec. I like having the bridge in
the background of this shot and I also enjoy the little light streak in
the top corner that is an airplane that was flying by. I actually did a
healthy cropping job on this shot as well in order to eliminate the
parking lot that was directly ahead of me and to change the image from
a vertical to horizontal shot. I'm not a big fan of photoshop, but I
don't view these kinds of changes as cheating. This was the final show
of the competition and the theme was 'A Tribute To Queen'. Thus the
title of this blog post.
