Canada Day Fireworks
Published by Gail July 2nd, 2008 in Out + About, Photography
On account of my knackered body and peeling face from Sunburn Sunday, the furthest I ventured away from home yesterday was 10 minutes’ walk to the beach to see if I could get some shots of the fireworks. I did make a separate trip to Vincent Sushi for a roll and miso soup, but it’s a couple of minutes closer than the beach.
Once I arrived at the beach with equipment in tow, I discovered that not only did I forget the mounting plate for Garry’s tripod at home, but also my spare batteries… GRRR! I got only a few shots before the batteries depleted for good, this being one of them.
Thankfully this mostly fruitless trip was a short one, with perfect weather and a pleasant lake shore ambience beside the Palais Royale.

Good night shots!
Cheers, Monica!
Great Shots.
We watched the fireworks at Richmond Green, billed as the largest municipal fireworks display. Definitely impressive, but not even close to the Festival of Fire
Well, the great thing about the Festival of Fire is that if you miss it one year, there’s always another. I like how there are teams that represent parts of the developing world now, not just the rich countries who can afford the pyrotechnics.
