"If at first you don't succeed..." is how the famous quote goes. To be perfectly honest, I guess it doesn't really apply here. Those of you who also follow my photographs at my Eric Mahannah Photography page on Facebook, as well as on my personal page, know that my last photograph was pretty well received despite my slight disappointment. However, I am probably my own worst critic, so once there was a nice clear day, I went back to the spot near the base of the Jacques Cartier Bridge in order to get another sunset for my collection. Mother Nature once again didn't let me down. I waited for the sun to be between the clouds and the two buildings you see in the photograph and shot away. I once again underexposed the photograph in order to get more colour out of the sky and to hide the previously mentioned construction scaffolding. As an added bonus, I sent the photograph off to CTV Weather Specialist Lori Graham and she was kind enough to air it during the evening newscast. The photograph was taken at f/16, 1/160sec, ISO 100 at 24mm. Thank you very much once again to Lori Graham at CTV Montreal for airing the photograph, and of course to Mother Nature for providing the spectacular show in the sky.
****UPDATE****
Those of you who have the La Presse+ application for Apple products can view the photograph there this morning (April 16, 2021). If you don't have the app, you can view a screenshot of the page by following this link. Always happy to see my name on television and in print.
