Fall Television Spectacular

As previously mentioned, the amount of sunlight we've been getting over the last few days has been rather limited.  It was another colourless day on Tuesday, but as I arrived home from the day job, the clouds began to part, leaving the potential for a nice sunset.  I quickly grabbed by gear and headed over to the Jacques Cartier Bridge.  I walked along the bicycle path to a spot that afforded me a nice view of the buildings of downtown Montreal, but the sun wasn't where I wanted it to be.  Before heading home, I quickly glanced in the other direction towards the Victoria Bridge and was very happy that I did.  The clouds had split, leaving a nice blue sky and some red and orange light from the setting sun on the clouds that remained.  My Mom has been saying that it has been a while since I had sent in a photograph to CTV News, so I figured this one might be broadcast worthy.  I sent it off and a few minutes later, there it was on television.  They unfortunately made a mistake in identifying the photograph, though weather specialist Lori Graham caught the error and corrected the situation.  The photograph was taken at f/9, 1/500sec, ISO 400 at 70mm and a little bit of Photoshop was used to bring out a little more colour.  Thanks again to Lori Graham and CTV News for letting me add another couple of seconds to my fifteen minutes of fame.
