    What setting should your camera be at to take pics of fireworks?

    Standing Guard at Sir Isaac Brocks Memorial. One of the Fallen heroes of the war of 1812. I shot this last night, a quick stop on our way to catch the fireworks at Niagara Falls. This monument is one of the coolest I have ever seen. There are four of these guards surrounding the actual monument.

    yup - im also finding it hard to find the right subject... i drove past a fantastic old barn in the middle of a field, that was painted like a canandian flag! too bad that was before i found out what the theme was, and the barn is at least 4 hours away.... oh well, i'll keep hunting!

    I'll put forth an offering with perhaps a slightly different take on patriotism...

    This is the Canadian destroyer HMCS Iriquois in Mediterranean, enroute the Persian Gulf in May of this year.



    This image shows the Canadian destroyer HMCS Iriquois leading Nato Fleet STANAVFORMED (Standing Naval Force Mediterranean) with Canadian frigate HMCS Calgary astern.



    Edited to add: Apologies for the image size, however due to bandwidth and other Internet access restrictions, I'm not able to re-size them. If this is a problem, I'll happly convert them to links.
