In the middle of June, I went out to take pictures with a friend. I had research the place that I wanted to be different from what I was used to photograph. The sky had that interesting mixt of sun and clouds; the wind was on the strong side. I thought it would be a great occasion to photographs the water on long exposure to have it appear like a translucent film.
I gave a rendezvous to my friend at a halfway point so we could then head to a marina in 
Beauharnois, Quebec. It’s a place where the sun sets at the end of land point (I used a Website called http://www.suncalc.net which overlaps the trajectory of the sun over a Google Maps canvas). It’s an invaluable tool for research. Since it’s based on Google Maps, it has the basic functionality of street view.
My friend had brought his daughter. She had her little point and shoot camera. He figured it would be a good time to show her the ropes ! 
It was quite interesting to see the enchantment in her eyes in looking at the sunset, snapping pictures and showing it on the back screen. It’s an advantage that I would have like at that age: to photograph without the stress of the cost film development ! The comparison is quite amusing in thinking that I would play with a 110 format that hold in the palm of child’s hand whereas a similar size digital camera that holds a far greater amount of pictures !
So we watched the sun go doing on the horizon while making pictures. I think it was a great night for a sunset because the sky had a great texture of clouds. We walk back and forth to compose pictures to try many elements (marina, sailboats, boats, etc.) until the official sunset at 8:30pm.
I think it was an excellent night for photography and I’d like to say the wind was in my sails for a photo expedition !
Soon: the long exposure results in this photo outting.
