Didn't recognize her, but she's one of the Olympans being honoured. I liked her outfit. In a sea of red, something different is nice.

Taken in Nose Hill Park

My head exploded at the park

March 27, 2010August 6, 2024 by Robert Thivierge

So, if you saw a guy at Capital Hill Park, after sunset, tilting his head side-to-side for 30 seconds, this was to get the semi-invisibility effect. I used Photoshop to make the bars more vibrant, but my clothes less so. I guess I could have also done the "ghosting" effect in Photoshop, but somehow, longer exposures are more fun.

This was taken shortly after sunset. I didn't really like that string of lights, but any attempt to remove them, made things much worse.
