Well kind of.
A little while back I got a message in my Flickr mail from the Managing Editor of a site called Schmap. Basically it is a map website with tons of information about tourist destinations - like Montreal. They wanted to use one of my photos for their 2010 guide to Montreal. This is the link to the page where you can find my credited photo, though you may have to hover over insectarium and go back three photos (or forward a bunch more than three). I gave them permission to use it as they not only credit the photo with your name, but they also link back to your flickr account where they found the photo.

Waterfall

This was taken in the Botanical Gardens in Montreal back in July. It may look somewhat familiar as it is the unedited version of the photograph I used for my blog header.

Overhang

Hanging over their container so nicely, they really were asking to be photographed.

Cactus

This spiky plant was sitting almost completely alone in the 'sandbox'.

Purple Flowers

This was the first photograph I took inside the Botanical Gardens in Montreal and is actually one of my favourites, though it is likely due to the purple colour of the flowers.

Lemur Cuddles

The enclosure for the lemurs was packed and actually had lights to tell you when you could enter due to the popularity of the exhibit. I am sure the lights were for the lemurs comfort and you were able to get quite close to them - especially this cuddling pair on their pedestal.

Monkey Baby!

It wasn't hard to see these guys. Not only was there a giant crowd in front of the barriers, but there were also tons of small children screaming "Monkey Baby" or "Baby Monkey" to their parents. It was cute, yet annoying all at the same time. Luckily I was able to steady myself long enough to get a decent shot without the use of my tripod as that would have been near impossible with the size of the crowds at the Biodome during our visit.

A Bird Itch

There are numerous birds at the Montreal Biodome but this little guy caught my eye as he gracefully scratched an itch.

Otter

I have learned throughout my many trips to the zoo that otters are very hard to photograph. I was however pretty lucky while at the Montreal Biodome.

Night Photography

I have taken a couple night shots in the past, but nothing really turned out that well. While in Montreal I had the opportunity to take several night shots and am more than pleased with the outcome. The above shot was taken from the quays of old port in Montreal, as were the two previous night shots I have posted. I took them all on bulb setting with my Slik tripod at f-stop 11. I can't wait to get chances to take shots like these.

Religion at Night

Not entirely sure what this building is, but it right on the Montreal Harbour in Vieux Port. I took it directly after the international fireworks competition.

Le Grande Chapiteau

Le Grande Chapiteau - the Big Top, Montreal.
Another attempt at night photography that I think turned out pretty darn well.
