Photo of the Day - March 2009

[ipodtoucher]

Class field trip to Dupont Circle in DC to take "In the moment" photos (and get hot krispy kreme doughnuts teehee) C&C would be great, this was shot on the fly trying to be un-noticed but with that loud shutter it's so hard haha.

Business as usual

Happy Birthday

Last Friday was Toronto's 175th birthday. The "party" was, well, pretty lame. But it was a good excuse to quit working at noon and go take some photos.

This is Toronto's 'old' city hall, which, in grand Toronto style, was replaced by a much newer, much uglier building in the early-60s.

Good shot, Friday was a good day to be out and about in the downtown area. I didn't even know there was a party. I've been poking around the 175th anniversary photo archive and some of the shots are pretty interesting. Your comment about the 'new' city hall makes me wonder if you've heard about the book "Unbuilt Toronto: A History of the City That Might Have Been" it's a pretty good read and it shows how much the cityscape could have changed.

The party was lame. Just a few events in Nathan Phillips Square, David Miller shaking some hands (and getting snapped by my camera!); boring stuff.

I have seen that book. They had a few photos at the ROM a few months ago, which were nice, so I'm interested in the book.

Wow, I like the angle and colors of this shot, but the sign looks a little weird in it. I probably would have kept the sign out. It's still an excellent shot though.

Thanks.

The sign was a conscious choice, since it reads "Old City Hall". My body was a bit contorted to try to get the angle right, but I agree it would have been better either with the sign turned a bit anti-clockwise or gone altogether.

I agree completely... the sign wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't angled in a different direction.

Nice pic...

What equipment did you use? I see on your flickr profile you have Nikon and Canon (gets jealous).

Thinking of getting a used Canon as a secondary system to my Olympus....

Hehe. Yeah, my avatar is actually a photo of me.

That is a nice action shot of the eagle. How did you find her?

Thank you. They have a nest in the Norfolk Botanical Garden. Really easy to find and there is a usual crowd there on weekends to watch and photograph them. There is also a webcam that you can check them out at http://www.norfolkbotanicalgarden.org/e-community/eagle-cam

Love it. Reminds me of the obelisk in 2001 or something.


Macro in the house! Just got a new lens and took my first shots with it. I like how this flower bud looks as though it is giving birth to a baby seal.

I haven't been able to get much shooting in so far this month... C&C welcome

 

[SansCrainte]

Here is a shot to continue with the tree theme

I like it. I love his expression. Hers seems a tad awkward though. Also, I think the saturation/contrast need to be adjusted (Their skin looks a little grey).

I haven't decided if I like this shot yet or not, but I'll post it anyway.
C&C always appreciated.
