Starting The Year With A Bang

If there is one thing that I miss, it's shooting fireworks.  Before moving the Head Office a few years ago, we were right next to the river and I would easily be able to shoot the annual Les Grands Feux Loto-Québec that takes place every year at La Ronde, the Feux sur Glace Natrel displays from the Old Port of Montreal and the midnight fireworks on New Year's Day.  Yes, there are ample opportunities to see some loud explosions around Montreal.  Our final year at that location, I think I managed to shoot every one of the shows from a different location.  As The Heir Apparent and Crown Prince get older, maybe we'll take them out to a show eventually, but it's still a little bit past their bedtime  While we wait to make a return, there is still a reserve of shots in the archives that have yet to be used.  Such as this one.  It comes from one of the Winter shows down at The Old Port.  I always loved these shows as from my spot on the other side of the river I could frame the fireworks next to the Montreal skyscrapers.  The photograph was taken at f/16, 15sec, ISO 100 at 27mm.  With that, we take off on another year of photographic adventures together.  This will be lucky Year 13 for The Old Blog, so maybe I should watch out for black cats and ladders.  Let the new year begin!
