Wintercity

I almsost forgot about all of the Wintercity festivities. Maybe it's that they didn't have the fire displays set up like they did last year? Anyway, I heard that there would be fireworks last night so i headed over to Nathan Phillips square.

I couldn't have asked for much more than this. The performer (I think it's a man) stopped right in front of me and started posing for me - I have about 10 different really good shots of them. Amazing light! [very little post]

And of course the fireworks. I don't know how to photograph fireworks apparently.

And finally... the ice rink. I've been meaning to go take this shot for a while now... I'm not sure how much I like the pink / purple tones...

Wintercity! Ah! I knew I forgot something.... oh well.

Yeah, the performer shots are great. Crop and adjust a little they might make good prints. Or are they a bit too creepy to put on the wall? I dunno... still... those purple-blue clouds almost look very cool and somewhat... hmm.... ominous.

The first fireworks picture isn't bad, but they're tricky to get. I think I once took about 20 pics at the CNE one year of the fireworks. I think 3 were OK-looking.
