An abstract image from the annual International Fireworks Competition that takes place in Gatineau, Quebec. After the first few go off the air starts to fill with smoke, so wide angle shots don't look as nice. It's at that point that I use my telephoto lens to do some close up shots. I've started playing with zooming and/or moving the camera to get some creative effects.
Just after sunset at Hecla Island, Manitoba, Canada. A neutral density filter was used to get a long exposure to smooth out the water.
This is one of the giant Live Oaks (it's not called that because it's alive, it's actually the name of the type of oak) at Oak Alley Plantation. These trees are massive and the branches can grow down to the ground, as you can see in the background here. Using the infrared camera gave the image a nice effect.
