Love Is In The Air

It was Saint-Valentine's Day yesterday and to mark the occasion, the Samuel-de-Champlain Bridge was all decked out in red.  My Lovely Assistant had spotted a note about that in the morning paper, which immediately made my photographer ears pick up.  I mean, what could be a better way to spend Valentine's Day evening than on the banks of the frozen St. Lawrence River with my cherished camera.  Sounds romantic, no?  I got to my spot moments after the sun went down, leaving the sky bright and blue and the red of the bridge lights was reflecting off of the snow below.    I had some problems with my tripod sinking into the snow, but there was a half buried bench nearby which I used to put the legs of my tripod on to solve that problem.  The photograph was taken at f/16, 25sec, ISO 100 at 70mm.  I then sent the photograph off to CTV Montreal and weather specialist Lori Graham was kind enough to air it during the noon broadcast.  Thanks once again.  It still is, and always will be, fun to see my photograph on the air.
