It's All There In Black And White

Quebec City's Skyline In Spires

Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHON

This shot of Quebec City on a rainy September afternoon is an original image and has not been digitally altered in any way. Neither is it a black-and-white rendering of a colour shot. What you see here is exactly what I saw through the viewfinder of my Canon EOS 3000 (a film camera, not a digital variety). But look carefully above the light pole on the right and you'll see a tiny patch of blue sky, clearly visible on a high-resolution shot but harder to spot on this, a low-res version. I took this from the Lower City, near the marina, in a steady drizzle. The many spires make it an unusual photograph and of course that is the magnificent Chateau Frontenac, symbol of the city, on the left.
