Area 53 - 2011 - Photo #34

I'm a little late this week. But here is my photo for the week. I shot this panorama lastnight after the races at FOG Speedway.

Area 53 - 2011 - Photo #33

I went out last night to shoot the sunset, but there wasn't much to be had. So as the light faded I decided to try some twilight shots. I went to a spot I know next to the 401. As I was failing to get any good shots towards the west, where the sun had just set, I noticed the moon coming up from behind the clouds to the east. So I turned that way and got some tail light/cloudy moon shots.

Area 53 - 2011 - Photo #11

Last week I finally did something I've been meaning to do for a while, shoot from the top of a parking garage in downtown Windsor. One of the things I hate about this city is how flat it is. I always want to shoot photos from a higher vantage point. This weeks main photo is another panorama looking west towards the Ambassador Bridge.

Silly Entertainment

Every year we have a big fireworks show along the river between Windsor and Detroit. It's pretty much the same every year and costs somewhere around a million dollars. While it IS fun to watch I can't help but think how that money would be better spent...pretty much anywhere. I haven't went to see the show in a few years, but I've always wanted to take photos of it. So rather than joining the thousands of families and punk teenagers (man, I'm getting old) downtown, I headed to Windsors highest elevation (all 26 meters of it), Malden Park, an old landfill. There were a few people there but I found my own spot with a kabillion mosquitos.
