It’s hard to catch a good sunset in Ottawa. Parliament Hill is one of my favourite spots but I only stay for sunset a few times a year because I don’t really have a reason to be there late in the day.
Last Saturday, sunset came to me. After a drink in the Byward, I was crossing Mackenzie King Bridge to go for sushi in Chinatown when I noticed the tall buildings in the downtown core were set against light pink hues. I started shooting (the friend I was with was patient!) and a few minutes later, when I turned around, the Parliament’s dark silhouette stood out against the orange and yellow background.
Photography is all about timing!
You capture the beauty of our capital city so well – at all times!
Thank you!
Its so beautiful!
And it’s not Photoshoped, it actually looked that good 😉
Love the photos of the Parliament silhouette at sunset!
Thank you 🙂
Beautiful. It looks like you walked straight into the “golden hour”.
It was really worth it.
I stumbled in that scene and I didn’t regret it! Good time 🙂
Hey thanks for sharing…it is beautiful 😀
Thank you! Glad you liked it.
Beautiful shots as usual! I always learn new camera tricks from your photos.
Thank you! This time there were no tricks… just good timing 😉
Beautiful light! It feels great when you realize that you have a good camera with you to capture these special moments. That orange sky from the background – it looks surreal. Great job!
I was indeed lucky I had my camera with me. This one captures sunset well, it wasn’t the case with my compact camera. You wouldn’t believe how many sunsets I missed with that one!
OMG!! The light in the third photograph is super amazing as the tone of the sunlight and the street light match together. 😀 Also, the last two photographs, they make me think of the Prince of Persia. Great shot and good patience! 😀
Eh eh, it does look a bit middle-eastern with the top of the towers, doesn’t it!
Beautiful! I love how you’ve captured the sunset reflecting off the buildings.
Thank you! Good timing 😉
i love those silhouettes! with the turrets and towers, it kinda reminds me of fairytale land! 😀
It does look a bit Oriental, doesn’t it!
