didnt know where to put my question. so aplogize in advance if this is wrong section :). I am already thinking Canada Day Fireworks and where is the best place to photograph. For a change I thought about going to Centre island and photgraphing across the lake. Just want to know if anyone has experience fireworks from that viewpoint. Will I see anything from that far away. Think it would be great to get fireworks and the skyline.

A long time ago I shot the fireworks at Ontario Place from the beach at Hanlan's Point right near the place where it becomes airport land and it was great. You will want a lens with a little reach (a 70-200 zoom would be very good), but I found it was the best location.

You can take the Hanlan Point ferry over, and depending one when the show ends you may have to get back to Centre Island to go back. Watch your times carefully and know the last ferry time and allow time to walk back to the docks. If you miss the Hanlan's last ferry (currently 11:15 PM on holidays) you will need time to walk to Centre for the last ferry to the mainland (11:45 PM).

Be aware that part of Hanlan Point beach is clothing optional and if you arrive early you may find some interesting sights. Try to respect the beach users privacy.
