Montréal en lumières — Montreal in lights festival
A couple of weeks ago we had a fabulous 10 day festival in Montreal called Montreal in Lights — Montréal en lumières and it was awesome!! What a great way to break up the darker winter months with some much needed light. As usual, the city of Montreal and the sponsors of the event did a fantastic job. Rue Jeanne Mance and the Area around Place Des Arts turned into a luminous zone that was fun for kids and adults alike. A well lit funky ferris wheel, a huge slide that pulsated with lights, performers wearing mirrored boxes on their heads, loads of fireplaces to warm up to, wonderful projections onto screens and buildings; these were some of the main attractions of the event. Everyone was smiling and having a blast at this FREE event. Thanks again Ville de Montréal and sponsors!
Given that I live 5 minutes from the event I was able to get there easily on a couple of separate occasions. It was a great scene to photograph and there were photographers everywhere. Here are a few of my favourite images from the event using intentional camera movement in order to get this painterly effect.
