A Kind Of Magic

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.
