Photographer's Note

Take the Capital by Storm
2004 Edition

The event, Take the Capital by Storm, will be presented in the City of Quebec for the third time on July 31, and August 1, 2004. In 1998, the year of the last edition, more than 110,000 people went to the plains of Abraham to attend the event. For two days, more than 1500 reenactors will recreate and bring back to life one of the most memorable moments of the American War of Independence and the Canadian military history: the American invasion of 1775 and 1776.

Jolie photo d'action... un peu sombre par contre.

Très belle reconstitution, ce devait être impressionnant.
Un peu dommage que ce soit en contre-jour.

Interesting bit of history, and it must be quite fun reenacting these things. It would be nice to be able to see more detail on the men's faces.
Now, are you sure the exposure was at 30 seconds?

Dommage que la photo soit sombre mais je pense que sachant vous vous trouviez sur le champ de bataille, pas vraiment le temps de se préparer à la photo. :-)
Sinon bonne idée de composition de cette reconstitution.
