Week 6: Sunday, February 7, 2010

Every year the City of Ottawa holds the annual Winterlude festival, an event that celebrates the Canadian winter. Each year they hold various events, including: ice carving, fireworks, themed events and stuff like that. A full list of events is available at their website (Official link here)

This was one of my favourite pictures from the night. However, I did take more pictures, and a complete album is available online at my Picasa album (link: http://picasaweb.google.com/betaphotography/WinterludeFireworks#)

Technical information: Canon XSi with a 50 mm f/1.8 prime lens, taken at 1/15s, ISO 800. Photo taken outside the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Hull, Quebec.



Next week I'll be trying my hand at sports photography. Stay tuned! :)
