Yesterday, after hiding in the clouds, the sun finally broke through an hour before it was scheduled to set. I tried to think of an interesting spot that I could visit to photograph it. The buildings of downtown Montreal were not an option due to where the sun was setting, and getting to the bridge was going to be a little difficult due to construction work. I then remembered a little spot on the bicycle path that I like to use that goes past the La Ronde amusement park. I quickly drove there just in time to see the sun going down behind one of the rides. I underexposed the photograph, which was taken at f/8, 1/400sec, ISO 100 at 70mm, to darken the silhouette of the ride and bring out a bit more of the colour. On a lark, I decided to send it off to CTV Montreal since they seem to like my photographs, but since the evening newscast was already long over, I was pretty sure it wouldn't make the air. It didn't, but our weather specialist, Lori Graham still took the time to post my photograph to her twitter feed. Feel free to check it out at this link and let all of CTV know how great of a photograph it is. All kidding aside, thanks again to CTV Montreal and Lori Graham. Glad that you all like my photographs.
****UPDATE****
The photograph also ended up being published in La Presse+ Online Edition. If you have the app, you can seen the photograph by opening it, otherwise you can see a screen grab of the page by clicking the following link.
