For this Wednesday Walk Challenge, I decided to try the "method" of @tattoodjay, organizer of the challenge, i.e. to take photos very early in the morning. It's true that colors and shadows are more beautiful in the early hours. But I don't yet have his talent for taking beautiful photos, but maybe it's also my camera (an old Sony NEX-5N). It must be my camera 😅. For this session, I'm off to Parc Lafontaine in Montreal, to take a few photos of the Théâtre de Verdure (Open-air theater).
Pour ce Wednesday Walk Challenge, j'ai décidé d'essayer la méthode de @tattoodjay, organisateur du challenge, c'est à dire de faire des photos très tôt le matin. C'est vrai que les couleurs et les ombres sont plus belles aux petites heures. Mais je n'ai pas encore son talent pour prendre de belles photos mais c'est peut-être aussi mon appareil photo (un vieux Sony NEX-5N). C'est sûrement mon appareil 😅. Pour cette session, direction le Parc Lafontaine à Montréal, pour aller prendre quelques photos du Théâtre de Verdure.
The Théâtre de Verdure is located in Montreal's Parc Lafontaine. I had already featured this park in a previous Wednesday Walk Challenge, see for those interested Parc Lafontaine (Montreal).
Le Théâtre de Verdure se trouve dans le Parc Lafontaine à Montréal. J'avais déjà présenté ce parc lors d'un précédent Wednesday Walk Challenge, voir pour ceux et celles intéressé(e)s Parc Lafontaine (Montreal).

I arrived at Parc Lafontaine via Avenue du Parc, not very busy in the early morning apart from a few joggers. The entrance to the Théâtre de Verdure, an open-air amphitheatre in the middle of the park. It operates mainly during fine weather, with musical and theatrical performances often free of charge.
Je suis arrivé au Parc Lafontaine par l'avenue du Parc, pas grand monde en ce début de matinée à part quelques joggeurs. La porte d'entrée du Théâtre de Verdure, amphithéâtre en plein-air situé au milieu du parc. Il fonctionne surtout pendant les beaux jours avec des spectacles de musique ou théâtre souvent gratuits.
The Theatre was founded in 1956 (source: Wikipedia). When I discovered this venue in early 2010, it was in poor condition and very little used. That's why, starting in 2014, major renovations were carried out until 2022. This is only its second season in its new form.
Le Théâtre a été fondé en 1956 (source : Wikipedia). Quand j'ai découvert ce lieu au début 2010, il était en mauvais état et très peu utilisé. C'est pour cela qu'à partir de 2014 de grosses rénovations ont été faites jusqu'en 2022. C'est sa deuxième saison seulement sous sa nouvelle forme.
I thought I had a photo of the old structure, but I couldn't find anything on my hard drive. Being too curious, I went looking for some period photos of the Theatre. / FR : Je pensais que j'avais une photo de l'ancienne structure mais je n'ai rien trouvé sur mon disque dur. Étant trop curieux, je suis allé cherché quelques photos d'époque du Théâtre.

The new structure is the work of architectural firm Lemay. The space is now open, with no surrounding grids. A truly beautiful structure that can accommodate 2,500 people, with a backdrop that opens up so that Parc Lafontaine can also serve as a backdrop for performances.
La nouvelle structure est l'œuvre de la firme d’architectes Lemay. L'espace est maintenant ouvert, sans grille l'entourant. Vraiment très belle structure pouvant accueillir 2,500 personnes avec le fond qui s'ouvre pour que le Parc Lafontaine puisse aussi servir de fond aux représentations.
We walk around the artificial lake to see the Theatre from the outside. I enjoy the reflections of the trees on the water. It's true that the colors are really more beautiful early in the morning. And what's more, with autumn, the trees have taken on new colors, from green to red to yellow.
Nous allons faire le tour du lac artificiel pour aller voir le Théâtre de l'extérieur. Je profite des reflets des arbres sur l'eau. C'est vrai que les couleurs sont vraiment plus belles tôt le matin. Et en plus avec l'automne les arbres ont pris des couleurs, du vert au rouge en passant par le jaune.
As the lake hasn't yet been drained for the winter, it's still nice to walk around. Because when the water's gone and the snow's not here yet, it's a bit more sad. / FR : Comme le lac n'est pas encore vidé de son eau pour l'hiver, c'est encore agréable de faire le tour. Car quand il n'y a plus d'eau et que la neige n'est pas encore là, c'est un peu triste.
But here, with the colors, it's really beautiful. My small-format photos are fine, but don't zoom in, everything's a bit blurry. I'd need a tripod to be more stable. But I'm happy with the result for a first time.
Mais là avec les couleurs, c'est vraiment beau. Mes photos en petit format sont correctes, mais il ne faut surtout pas zoomer, tout est un peu flou. Il faudrait un pied pour être plus stable. Mais je suis content du résultat pour une première fois.
The bridge over the lake, which is split in two by a small waterfall / FR : Le pont qui permet de traverser le lac qui est séparé en deux par une petite cascade
And the Park fountain, which hasn't worked for a few years. / FR : Et la fontaine du Parc qui ne fonctionne plus depuis quelques années.
I hope you enjoy this little stroll to Parc Lafontaine to discover the Théâtre de Verdure. I really enjoyed doing this photo shoot early in the morning to take advantage of the colors. Still some training to take better photos, but cool experience. Happy Wednesday Walk Challenge to all.
J'espère que vous appréciez cette petite balade au Parc Lafontaine pour découvrir le Théâtre de Verdure. J'ai bien aimé d'aller faire cette séance photo tôt le matin pour profiter des couleurs. Encore de l'entrainement pour prendre des meilleures photos, mais cool exépérience. Très bon Wednesday Walk Challenge à tous.

It's great to have this park near my home, perfect for sports, with soccer fields, baseball, tennis courts, beach volleyball, petanque... and in winter the lower part of the lake is transformed into a free ice rink. So cool.
Thanks for the tokens

what a beautiful park, and I think you did great taking photos in low light be it early morning or at night is a challenge for sure
I use a tripod for my early morning walks and take a lot of long exposure shots
Thanks for joining the Wednesday Walk :)
Have a great day :)
Yes, a tripod is really necessary for long exposures... I'm not equipped yet but I enjoyed the experience, especially enjoying the park almost alone 😀
Have a great day too
if you dont have a tripod just resting your camera or phone on a fence or something will give more stability
The wall/fence is often not where I want it to be 😀
Ohh yeah I know that feeling happenned to me many times as well

Nice shots of the Théâtre de Verdure 👍 I think the photos of the theatre both the outside shot and shots of the back of the stage over the lake are the best ones. Very cool historical shots to contrast with the remodel. I love a good remodel that brings back a historic building.
Yes, in the post, the photos look good, but in full screen it's a different matter, it's quite blurry. But it's a cool experience to go and take photos early in the morning, so you can enjoy the place almost on your own 😀
