Frozen Fireworks

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, tonight is the beginning of another of my favourite events in this plague filled year.  The annual Fire on Ice fireworks displays would have begun this evening at 8:00PM sharp, precisely at the very moment that I am writing these words.  Since public gatherings are no longer permitted, that pretty much meant that this annual event that would usually drawn hundreds of people down to the Old Port of Montreal got cancelled.  With that in mind, I dug into the archives and pulled out a shot from one of the shows that took place last year.  It was taken at f/16, 20sec, ISO 100 at 57mm from the frozen shores of the Saint-Lawrence river.  This would have been a perfect night for some fireworks.  Not that cold or windy.  Hopefully things will take a turn for the better and we can get back to our old habits next year.  Even if those habits include freezing our bits and pieces next to a frozen river on a cold December night.  If you'd like to see a few more of these shots, click on the '2019' on the right hand side of the page and then the month of December for a few more posts like this one.
