Taking pictures of Ice sculpture is nto an easy task. I tried it at St-Ce, Quec sculpture contest. did not like any of the pics. Congrats on these shots.

Yeah! True. It's not an easy task. The sun is shining trought the ice and stuff like that. It's very hard. !!!!!!:O)!!!!!!!!!

Wow .. dunno if I could create something that intricate that I couldn't keep for a long time. :) Shooting ice sculpture is really tough. Backlighting without a busy background or with a shallow DOF seem to work best to bring out all the delicate details and sparklies. That train is amazing. Wow. -=>Donald

Dunno if it's difficult .. never had a chance to try but it seems to be no easy task .. anyways, difficult or not, this are excellent shots and the sculptures are gorgeous. As Donald .. i don't know if i could do something like that. Create so much beauty in days or even weeks and than with one sunny day, all is gone? Thanks for sharing this shots Benoit!!

I'll see most of these Thursday. going for a quick skate on the canal with some friends and a trip downtown. Maybe take some pictures of my own.

Too ugly to model and rendered useless
