Continuing on from yesterday’s post of shots taken on Crescent street, today’s images are of the Montréal F1 Grand Prix action on Peel street.
I always find that Peel is less packed – likely due to the fact there are few bars on Peel and no music stage – but that the booths and cars are more up-scale. Yesterday, the majority of cars on display were Porsches and rather than energy drink companies there was Moët & Chandon Champagne and Belvedere vodka.
I decided to shoot using the Nikkor 85mm 1.8G and go for some shallow depth of field shots. None of my other lenses allow for such a shallow DOF and I realize I have to be a lot more careful focusing on the exact spot given that when shooting close up, the focus point is very tight. I managed to get a few right at least 🙂

There were 3 Porsches parked along a yellow line which I thought would make for a nice composition…

Unfortunately the weather doesn’t look like improving much over the weekend, although race day on Sunday is showing a slight improvement with sun and showers – which actually sometimes makes for a more exciting race.
Have a great weekend. Until next time.
