Nuit blanche sur tableau noir 2007

Nuit blanche sur tableau noir is an annually recurring festival on the first weekend of June. Located on the famous Mont-Royal avenue, the mixture of drunk party goers, sober/stoned artists along with in-your-face photographers present visitors with a most interesting twist.Organizers of this event changes the theme every year so it’s never the same. This year’s comic book take is one of the harder ones to do on asphalt. Some of the artists struggled to supersize their comic cells, but most are just happy to draw. I am content with watching.

The night gave me with a second try at low light photography, which in turn, netted me a very important lesson. NEVER use zoom unless you have a tripod and never use tripod unless you are taking a static scenic shot. It explains why, the other more experienced photographers at the event are taking the shots just inches from the artists themselves. My jaw dropped at the invasion of private space at first, then slowly, I started to see like their ways. It is the only way to get a full spectrum high resolution unblurred image.
