Hello fellow Canadians and those from other nations! Canada Day is creeping close so I decided to be as patriotic as I could with my Shinkis with little props and similar decoration. I’ll share the sparkling fun both in gif form and in a semi-image spam for both our viewing pleasure.

(All Images taken with a Lumix GF-1 – Pancake lens.)
I decided to use two Canadian flags, Sharatang’s light-box, and the sparklers. I wanted to time it perfectly at dusk, just when it is both day and night. I’m either too early or too late heh.
Who knew trying to light sparklers would be a test of patience heh. They took forever to light up, especially with it being breezy.

– Animated Gifs:
I made some basic animated gifs for your viewing pleasure if you’re into viewing sparklers burn out. Shinkis didn’t move in this because the sparklers went a bit too quickly to repose them. This is for those that want to see the sparklers burn in “real-time”.

Kohiru joined in on the party to set off more sparklers, keeping Renge company as to not set off fires of any sort. Would of been perfect if I have caught dusk just before it turned into night for Sharatang’s light to fit in with the image.

– Round 3:
Had 36 cm tall sparklers to try out this time around. Those things were insanely hard to light up. You’d be surprised 0_o.
(Link – MySite) – Wanted both sides yet the right wouldn’t light.

Said “screw it!” and arched the sparklers. Easier to light and I can get what I want out of it this way.

– Random Canada Day Fun:
Some “normal” images if you prefer these over the gifs and sparklers. Had some ideas left over so might as well share for some patriotic festivities! Azunyan and Renge paired up this time around to play with some typical Canadian souvenirs which you can find in practically every store in Canada, or at least in Ottawa.

And there you have it! A few of my Shinkis celebrating Canada Day with Sparklers! I do apologize if you were expecting something more….exotic…but sparklers are a new thing for me. I kept seeing them in Anime, hoping to try them out in similar fashion as in the Animes – Haruhi & the movie, Sankarea, and Infinity Stratos OST. I don’t ever remember ever playing around with them, until now that is. Who knows, maybe I’ll have my Shinkis shoot off some firecrackers for the next round of festivities.
Looking forward to sharing another batch of images from downtown Ottawa this Sunday so hope you’re looking forward to it as much as I am! Happy Canada Day weekend!
