This one seems a bit over exposed to me. Maybe not a bit. hehe.

Before a class I went to a park on the east side of Ottawa to see what was there and got some pictures before a sunset. I wasnt able to stay for all of the sunset though since class was starting soon. These pictures are all film. I dont remember the fstops or shutterspeeds. I did have to use a tripod for most of them so the shutterspeed musta been below 1/250th.

Please let me know what you think.

These are all from film, tripod was used and extended exposures. I think with the first one I used a large aperature to get a shallow dof, but it didnt work the way I had hoped. :0) maybe I focussed wrong. My eyes cant really tell if the background is in focus or not.

The best part of the sunset was after these pictures though, but I had to get going to get to class on time. Sad thing is it took me a fraction of the time to get to class than I thought it would so I could have stayed around for the rest of the sunset. :0) But it was freezing so I was glad to get in my warm car. Also didnt like being in the middle of no where alone with a not so cheap camera, in an area of ottawa that isnt known for its lack of crime. :0).
