We’ve just heard about a great event that takes place in the Chinese Botanical Gardens in Montreal each fall.  From 11th of September to November 1st the park is transformed into something quite magical…

.

Each year the botanical garden is lit up by a fantastic display of Chinese Lanterns.  The display lasts for the best part of a month and it includes all types of Chinese Lanterns, not just the type that we offer on our website.  Large lanterns are arranged and tied to take the shape of classic Chinese themes, such as the Azure Dragon and the Black Tortoise.

Each year there is a new theme, and this is represented by the silk lanterns that line the paths and walkways through the park.  The theme for this years event has taken it’s inspiration from classic Chinese Astronomy.  Early astronomers from China were some of the first to make significant discoveries about the stars in our solar system so it’s only fitting to celebrate this by letting of some lanterns to fly off high into the night sky!

We recommend you check out this website if you want more information about it, there are also plans for live music to be played on certain nights.  According to that site there will be over 700 different lanterns, of all shapes and sizes so it’s bound to be a completely spectacular event.

Chinese Lanterns have been a real hit at weddings, barbeques and festivals this year and our staff haven’t held back in capturing these Chinese Lanterns on Film in new and exciting ways.

Well to be frank with you they aren’t actually using film. With the huge rise in digital technology we tend to prefer the convenience of a digital camera with includes many benefits such as the ability to edit your shots on the go, reviewing your shots and evening making video clips with stereo sound and on some models HD quality footage, watch out Speilberg!
I made a recent camera purchase and it was a complicated business, with many different brands, thousands of models and quite possibly millions of features it is easy to get bamboozled by your local camera sales guy. I therefore feel it’s my duty to arm you with what I’ve learned and help you select the camera YOU want. I broke the camera into 3 main types all aimed at the consumer or high-end consumer.

1. Rugged
Extreme sportsperson? Predictably Clumsy or Pro surfer? A rugged camera could be the perfect partner to capture your high impact lifestyle. The Olympus MJU was top of the pops in this category due to its sheer strength, how many cameras’ can boast being 100kg crushproof and waterproof to 10m. A friend of mine has this model and never fails to amaze people at his local pub by putting the 10 sec timer on and then dunking it into his beer with the flash on as people gasp thinking he’s just ruined his camera.

2.    SuperZoom
Never get the best seat in house when watching the NFL? With this camera you don’t need to, a superzoom can get in on the action and capturing some amazing sporting shots.  The Canon SX10is really stood out for me with a 20x zoom, articulating LCD and high quality shots as well as some fairly polished video capturing abilities. It also has a wide angle lense so you can get team photo’s or family shots without cropping out Uncle Arthur accidentally.
3.    Compact
The name says it all really; the aim of the game is to cram some decent spec’s into a small camera that can fit comfortably into your top pocket or handbag ready for life’s spontaneous moments.. The Canon SD780 filled all these needs and more with more megapixels than you can shake a stick at and High Def. Video it just go to show how quickly this technology is moving. 5 years ago you’d need a suitcase to lug this many features about!
I’ve tried to keep it straightforward and simple with my reviews, hopefully it’s helped you on your journey to digital freedom. If you would like to ask me any question don’t hesitate to reply to this post. Or if you need more detailed info try my favourite site dPreview.com.
