Lovely photo of the Chateau Frontenac lit up.

What kind of camera are you using?

SUE FRAUSE said...

I use a Canon PowerShot S5IS ... it's my second Canon. Great camera, lightweight and don't use any big fancy lenses. Perfect for my job!

I sometimes use a Canon PowerShot SD850 and am continually astounded by the clarity and light capture.

Happy travels!
