The month of July is about upon us, which means that it's also time for the sky over Montreal to explode with colours. The sky was exploding with a different kind of colour as the sky was grey and Mother Nature's fireworks of thunder and lightning were putting on a show. This year is the 35th anniversary of the world famous fireworks
competition and this opening exhibition was called Throwback 1985. The show was put together by Hands Fireworks, a company based in Ontario that was established in 1873. Since the weather was a little unpredicatble, I stayed close to home and used my spot that shows off some of the Jacques Cartier Bridge, with handy little sign at the bottom of the frame so any out-of-towners can know its name. The first photograph was taken at f/16, 15sec, ISO 100 at 70mm. Here are a few more photographs that I took of the show.
f/16, 10sec, ISO 100 at 42mm

f/16, 30sec, ISO 100 at 70mm
f/16, 25sec, ISO 100 at 70mm
The other feature I like about this spot is getting the passing lights of the cars at the bottom of the frame. Especially the passing police cars. As an added bonus, from this spot you can hear those same police cars yelling at the slow driving motorists to pick up the speed and move along. Always entertaining as some of their comments can be quite sarcastic and funny. There are still seven more shows this year, go out and see some of them.
