Description I went out again last night to test my new camera for night shots. I didn't bring along a tripod but this shot took 6 tries before I managed to get it sharp. I was astonished at the speed the shutter had. But with a good stance, holding your breath and waiting between heartbeats, you can indeed take a shot at 1/10 of a second without a tripod.

Impressive!
The Peace Tower (officially the Tower of Victory
and Peace;[1] in French: tour de la Victoire et de la
Paix) is a focal bell and clock tower, sitting on the
central axis of the Centre Block of the Canadian
parliament buildings in Ottawa, Ontario

Merci beaucoup! C'est un bel édifice, il faut le dire. Très vieux. Je doit ainsi faire des images de l'intérieur. C'est massif. J'y ai déjà travaillé.

Thanks indeedy! It took a few but it was exhilirating to actually get it. It's a bit post-cardy but to figure out how something works, you gotta go through the motions.

I like the lamp post and the archway leading to another archway. The architecture is certainly eye catching and this capture is also.

Thanks a heap! It's fun walking around in Ottawa like this but I'm also hoping to hit less touristy places. Or inside the buildings.

As usual, I love the lighting and the fact that despite having so little of it, the details still came out wonderfully.

Leave the frisbee at home when you're going inside buildings

Awesome picture, Ben. Sharp enough to bring out the details... and the atmosphere! almost makes me tempted to try painting it.

Are you trying to kill me? Let's not forget that I have two kiribans, one trade, one Christmas card, and a painting of a certain *very* sexy Lara Croft-esque friend to finish before the end of the year.
