Great shots for handheld at those shutter speeds! VR sure does help.
Magnificent light and colors.

Many thanks for your kind comments, lnl! Yes, without VR I would definitely have needed a tripod or bumped up the ISO/opened up the lens even further.

Beautiful set John. The fog actually adds to the mood. I can feel the cold!

Many thanks, Mark! Yes, you are right, it does. I was out there in my shirt sleeves (lol). Seriously, it was 32F out there and very icy. We are having a very strange winter; unusually warm for this time of year. It is 41F out there right now where the normal high is about 20F.

A lot of initial fog. Had to wait for some time before it lifted enough so that I could take hand held photos.
Nice shots of a beautiful city. The atmospheric conditions lead to different photos than we normally see. Thanks!

Thank you kindly, Bill! My pleasure. Yes, the combination of semi-darkness and fog do give the images a different look.
If I am photographing here in the city, I often go out at night or early morning, an hour before sunrise. At night there is little traffic, so I can wander the streets unperturbed, while the abundance of lights allow me to shoot without a tripod. During the hour before sunrise the light changes quite rapidly, so I can get different looking images within a couple of minutes.

To those who have never been there, Old Quebec is a magical, unique place. There are areas where you feel like you are visiting classic Paris. It is certainly a beautiful, charming city that should be on everyone's bucket list.

Can't argue with your sentiments, debugger!
The Quebec City Tourism Department has asked me to pass on its appreciation(lol).
