Artist's Comments

Picture of the city of Ottawa. It was a beautiful day today. Hurried up to get my camera...

... and yes, it's the moon.

Here is the exact place I took the picture, at the edge of the rock. At the South-East you can see the parlemental hill and the parlement: [link]

-----------------

''First thing is the sky was really clear and the blue sky was still perceptible. So I wanted have a nice long exposure so the color would be popping out more.
The trick was to have a higher F.Stop (f/22) so I could have a longer exposure (30seconds), that is also why the moon is glowing like the sun: I thought it would give a special effect to the picture.

All the light is comming from the center of the picture, so the top and the bottom of it will be darker (gradient overlay effect) emphasized a little with photoshop.

I hope my english is clear.. so that's how I made this picture!''

-------------------

EDIT: New version, parlement alot clearer, and other buildings a little.

Amazing photograph. It's just so beautiful! :) I wish I had a camera like yours. Was it expensive?

My promise is the only thing I can give to you

What a perfect shot. I live across the river from Ottawa and it's really hard to make that city look this beautiful... Kudos!!

Oh and yeah, I just bought a D50 also. Damn it's an amazing camera.
