Stopped by the waterfront on my way home to catch the full moon rising and was faced with a real bummer - a huge cloud bank over Laprarie where the moon should appear. I waited around for about 45 minutes, and just as I was going to give up I spotted a orange glow near the top of the clouds. Snapped off a few of the big reveal, then spent 20 minutes trying to get some good shots of the moonlight reflected on the water.
Believe it or not, the first signs of spring are upon us here in Montreal. The trees are starting to bud and with a couple of weeks of climbing temperatures and rain ahead of us, April could turn out to be a pretty sweet month.
So part of my process towards being able to do street photography has been carrying my camera with me everywhere and taking more shots in public with people around. In the metro, in bus shelters or on the bus, slowly I am getting comfortable shooting with an audience and it won't be long before I can start using some of these bystanders as subject.
I liked this because it almost looks like a spooky alien skull or something. The shelter is getting pretty saturated with tags and I am sure they will have to clean it up soon. Can't wait to see what the kids do with a new canvas.
In this one I tweaked the background color to give the image a winter's night feel.
