For my photo #100 and my fifth and last photo of this short serie, I chose to show an aerial view of the big "O", we can now see the shape entirely. The building on the right is the Biodôme, the word Biodôme comes from the Greek words bios, or life, and domos, house. This is an oasis in the heart of the city, the Montréal Biodôme recreates some of the most beautiful ecosystems of the Americas: I've included another aerial view showing the stadium and the Biodôme, also a
close view just near the stadium.

Cher Pierre,
Quand tu fais les choses, tu les fais bien. Un reportage photographique complet avec une prise de vue aérienne, c'est le bouquet d'un feu d'artifice !
C'est vraiment impressionnant cette sorte de grosse punaise à qui l'on aurait greffé une sorte de queue (un peu à l'instar d'un scorpion).
Excellente série sur ce grand stade.
Merci du partage et du travail que cela représente.
Très amicalement.
Philippe

Wow looong way down:-)) Good view and perspective, good picture no. 100. Fine light and good sharp, good colour and contrast in the picture.

Regards Kaj Nielsen

Bonjour Pierre

Excellent pov, & acceptable sharpness & contrast. A good accompanying note. Was this structure built for world expo in 1967?

Tres bon.

Le biodôme semble aussi une sujet intéressant... mais bon ici, j'admire surtout une superbe vue aérienne de ce stade de Montréal. Bien vu!

Wauw Pierre,
what a dethphoto fantastic, I like the way you took it, the lines are nice. Congratiolation with you 100 photo, this is a nice one, great job

Félicitation pour cette superbe série Pierre et pour la no 100.
Moi qui pensait que l'espace aérien autour du stade était restraint ;-) . De la série, cette image est ma préférée. Le prise de vue est très interessante et bien réalisée. Le WS également est très bon.
Cela n'a pas du être facile de piloter et prendre des photos en même temps :-)
Bravo.

Happy anniversary and congrats on your #100, Pierre. This is a nice epilogue to your series, with actually a quite dizzying view from the angle you took it. The diagonal perspective fits everything into the frame well, and all the details are visible and understandable to the best. Good to have the 2 additional views included in the workshops you attached. Well done. I'm adding this to the "Vertigo" theme.

Bonjour Pierre un point de vue peu commun pour cloturer la serie en beaute, ce que je remarque particulierement ici c'est les tres belles courbes dans la structure de la tour. Bien fait !

Wonderful graphism here too, Pierre! :-) Same place but with different elements in composition and with another accent this time. I like the contrasting colours and all the lines of the details, as well as the fine angle of taking, allowing you to make a lovely composition. Very well done!

Oh congratulation Pierre - a fine shot to celebrate and a very fine view of this stadium - which it was mine - I still miss a shot for the hunt taken upside down - thanks for sharing - looking forward to the next hundred -)

Confrats for your 100th photo, Pierre. This one is really good. The double oval shape is wonderful, and the POV is very interesting. Well done.

Congratulation for 100th post,hope to going on more and more with great results,Pierre

Salut Pierre :)

Suite et fin de ta série sur le Big "O". D'avion tu ne pouvais avoir un meilleur POV pour photographier le "vaisseau". Les WS sont aussi très bon. Je préfère d'ailleurs presque plus la photo avec le Biodôme et le stade. Je trouve le cadrage et la perspective rendu par la tour du stadium excellents. Des photos tout à fait honorables pour la chasse à l'image. Bien "piloté", Pierre ;-)

Great view.I like the composition and the prespective.Very good colors and good contrast between them.I like a lot the architecture.Good POV and DOF.I like the light and the sharpness.Well done!

An excellent aerial shot, Pierre. Good detail and sharpness. The cars in the top left corner really helps to give us a sense of scale. The colours of the Big "O" contrast nicely with its surroundings. Well done and congratulations on your 100th photo.

This has been a fun and interesting tour of this remarkable building, Pierre. This last one shows the structure in its entirety and puts a nice conclusion to your series.

A nice shot from overhead, Pierre, I'm always fond of aerial photos. Sometimes I thing our world is made to be looked upon from a certain altitude. And your stadium, with surroundings, is no exception. This is the image the architect had in his mind, and it's a nice complement to the other shots. Showing the large scale of the roofed arena, but not so much of the tower. You've made a nice composition, but could have included more of the Biodôme - something like the WS, but from this angle. I know, you don't get that many chances when flying and you made a great capture as #100. Very well done!

Great series and notes. Impressive perspective of the building. I like the way you placed the building at the diagonal. Jesus
