Lac Leamy Fireworks
Has it been a year already? I guess so. Times flies, blah blah blah.
This week is walking down memory lane week. First, I came back to see these amazing sculptures on the shore of the Ottawa River, at Remic Rapids, that I discovered in August 2009. And then, last Saturday, we attended the yearly Lac Leamy Fireworks Competition, like we did last year.
We headed for the same great (and free) spot: the Galleries de Hull parking lot, right in front of the casino from where the fireworks are shot. I can’t say I’m getting much better at taking fireworks pictures: it’s a bit of a hit and miss. I use a tripod of course, and a wide focal lens with a slow shutter. Yet, it’s always difficult to not overexpose the fireworks and to come out with a picture that is too not hazy or smoky.
I’m pretty happy with these few shots, they turned out to be the best of an embarrassing numbers of pictures I took that night.
You can see the whole Ottawa Summer set here.

Beautiful shots, Zhu! I have learned that try to capture the fireworks in the beginning of the show becuase lots of smokes toward the end of the show. However, we all know that the most exciting fireworks are in the end
You did great, lovely set!:)
These are gorgeous! I would never be able to take a picture like this, so I think you’re doing pretty well. I’m more of a point and click kind of girl
Looks like it must have been a fun evening!
Certainly these are Masterpieces of photography… Congrats
Magnifique tes photos Zhu. Je reviens te voir maintenant que tu es rentrée. J’ai découvert que tu étais de Nantes comme ma soeur et que tu as été” à St Nazaire où vit ma tante
Je n’arrive pas à prendre des feux d’artifices, mon appareil n’est pas approprié. C’est marrant j’étais avec un ami canadien d’Ottawa au téléphone pendant une heure cet aprem et j’ai pensé à toi.
Bon retour. Crikette
Wow, I’m very impressed. I have tried fireworks photos and it is very hit and miss. Timing and exposure are very hard to get right.
I have never heard of a fireworks competition and I love concept. Our whole family loves fireworks.
