An editor's ramblings on anything I damn well please

River of Light

Posted by Drew Anderson in Drew's Views

Hundreds of people came out on August 21 to see London England's Creatmosphere lighting studio float 500 luminescent ballons down the Bow River as part of Celebration of the Bow, an ongoing Calgary public art program.

If you missed it, here's a sample.

You mean the long-exposure shots of things moving at night are blurry? Weird.

I think that's exactly what Pat109 was referring to.. I'm pretty sure the Nexen building didn't move.

That being said, I appreciate the photos and hopefully can take my son in a few years. It lokos like quite a show!!

Thanks for reporting on this!!!

Ha.

I guess I should point out that I'm not a professional photographer, just an editor with a camera that was out for the night, so my feeling's won't be hurt. But thank you anyway critninja and cleasturgess

I kind of like that the pictures are a bit blurry - it actually recreates the effect of what you saw in real life somewhat!
