this shot of montreal is an 8 second exposure with F8 on ISO 100 using the canon digital rebel. it was very windy and took a few tries to get the shot sharp, althought it was on a tripod.

tech test: this is a new kind of post, for which i used flash technology. your browser should already support it, but if you can't see anything then you need to install it. it's free and will take only a few moments. you can get it here. i was thinking about a way to focus on details of some of the photos once in a while, and this is a trick that i came up with. let me know what you think.
