Dragon

Welcome to September.

In 2007 we attended the  Chinese Lantern Festival at Ontario Place.  A great activity, but unfortunately in has been canceled for 2009. I would have liked to go again. If you get the chance next year, go.

This image is of a giant dragon over one of the foot bridges. It is likely over 30 metres long.
High ISO is a good choice for nighttime shooting. On the Rebel I was shooting with at the time, ISO 800 was about the top end with reasonable noise. It is better to shoot at a higher ISO and get some noise and less camera shake and subject motion than it is to go with lower ISO setting and get blur. Noise is easier to fix in post-processing.

The image looks stretched out. Is this a Panaroma?

No, this is just a long horizontal crop.
