    This was my 1st time joining an activity from Montreal Photography Group and I really enjoyed it. Edwin took the time to properly explain everything. As a full newbie, I really appreciate that he went back to the very basics and even took some minutes to properly show me how my camera works or how I can find certain settings. It was a great class and I?m looking forward to join more activities in the future.

    Went out at 1am on thursday march 13th to capture the beginning of the eclipse, since I didn't want to stay until the peak at 3am. Went to the park, took a couple of shots, and when I came back I realized I had forgotten my keys home, locking myself out of the building. Luckily I had my camera with me, so I took it as a sign and ended up shooting the whole eclipse in the park. Pretty happy with how it turned out!Shot on Sony a6700, with a Sony 70-350mm f4.5-6.3 OSS G. This picture is a compo

    Taken on a bike stroll in Sept 2017. At the time I was living in Hochelaga neighbourhood and used to bike to Jacques Drapeau Park whenever I had the chance. One one of these strolls I made note of interesting spots to photograph and needless to say, the Jacques Cartier Bridge offers plenty of opportunities.This picture in particular wasn't planned per se - the spot I had chosen was to capture the Sun dial over the pointy roof of a church. While I was waiting for the dial to reach the exact s

    I am a flight attendant and on every trip I always have my camera with me. Having many hours of free time to wander and visit the city I am in is the perfect excuse to go out and shoot life all around the world. This shot was taken at a major European bank headquarter in Brussels. I had seen pictures of the beautiful architecture and I knew I had to go see it for myself. The facade is made of these tall and impressive white columns. That day was a beautiful sunny day in September 2023, and

    Canyon Overlook in Zion National Park, an easy 30 min hike to this spot was worth it. View of the canyons and the switchbacks. Sprinkle of snow dust on the peaks makes gives it a bit more drama.

    Flamingoes are kept indoors during the winter months but on this occasion a shaft of sunlight from a window revealed the beautiful colours of these birds. Their heads are always bobbing up and down so composition is difficult and focusing on the eye of the main subject is essential.
