I had some more technical difficulties with this week's post. I decided to stretch my knowledge of Lightroom and Photoshop to create some panoramic shots, and my poor PC just couldn't handle working with 2 gig TIFF files. Well, it could, just reeeeaaaaallllyyyyy sloooooowwlyyyyy.
Anyhow. So this past week (for all my international readers ... both of you ..) was Canada Day, a day to celebrate Canada coming into existence. Part of Canada Day involves a giant party, held on Parliament Hill in our fair city of Ottawa. My favourite part of Canada Day for me is how everyone comes out and there's this great feeling of camaraderie and friendship that just seems to permeate the air. And the impromptu renditions of "O Canada" that happen at random times (with increasing frequency as the night wears on).
So with these two shots, I have tried to capture the sheer number of people present at the Canada Day celebrations (official estimates place the number at 100,000+ on the Hill, and that doesn't include the people in the downtown core past Wellington). The panorama really helped to capture that.
If you click on the photos, then on the magnifying glass, you can scroll around to see everything.
