Moda Sotto Le Stelle

The Moda Sotto Le Stelle outdoor fashion show held in little Italy, Montreal. The show goes on rain or shine, and it does rain sometimes/often. Let's hope that the rain will end for tonight's 9 pm show.

On this unique night of August, festival goers eager to enjoy Montreal's Italian Week will be introduced to Italian fashion. For a few hours, the designers will come together to present a vibrant and colorful fashion show. Under the stars, style and elegance will merge with urban chic, sexy, and glamour styles through these new collections.

Canadian Grand Prix

Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes AMG Petronas

Had  great weekend shooting photos at the Canadian Grand Prix and Formula One cars at the circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in Montreal.

Image manipulation

My photos are processed from RAW files, but none of my image are manipulated in Photoshop. I cover a lot of outdoor events and not always under the best lighting conditions  I do use Canon Digital Photo Professional and DxO Optics Pro for minor brightness and contrast adjustments. My photos are original digital captures of real life scenes, nothing added or removed.

Ultrasoft Pirrelli tyres to make racing debut in Canada

Pirelli will make their new, purple-marked tyre available at the Canadian Grand Prix Formula One Championship in Montreal on June.

Teams will also be using the yellow-marked soft and red-marked supersoft tyres in Montreal. As part of the new rules, in Canada every team must save at least one set of the ultrasoft for Q3. Those who qualify inside the top 10 will have to give the tyres back to Pirelli at the end of qualifying. Those who do not make the cut can keep the extra set into the race.

Teams must also have  at least two sets of softs in reserve for the race, and must use at least one of them. Teams are free to choose the remaining allocation of their tyres to take them up to the mandatory total of 13 sets for the weekend.
