Day 180 - Of signs, flags and banners

A simple composition of objects creates this pleasing photograph of the decorations of downtown Fredericton.

I like the way the Garrison district banner mirrors the layout of the Canadian Flag, with its reddish bars bracketing the central section. I like the reds, the greens and the blues of the photograph and the way the flag is caught just slightly in a breeze, just enough to blow it out in front of the insurance sign that rotates behind it.

This is an example of how even the simplest looking shot can take some time to create. I must have taken 20 minutes and at least 30 shots trying to get the flag and sign to line up just right. I wanted the flag to be billowing gently and the sign to be there but not intrusive. It took some time to get everything to work together to make this shot.
