Wednesday, October 7th, 2009Explosion of Butterflies
Monday, August 10th, 2009
Thousands of paper butterflies fill the Rogers Centre at a Coldplay concert in Toronto on July 30. The butterflies were launched during the song Lovers in Japan / Reign of Love. This was one of the highlights from a wonderfully interactive and generally amazing concert.
First Canadian Place
Tuesday, May 26th, 2009
As seen from the 54th floor of the TD Centre, the First Canadian Place tower (home to the Bank of Montreal) is Toronto’s tallest.
The white tiles are made of marble and are slowly being replaced as required. One tile fell 60 floors back in 2007 which prompted road closures and periodic investigations. The darker ones are older and the whiter ones are newer, which makes the building look a little worse for wear.
TD Centre
Sunday, May 24th, 2009
Went to the TD Centre in downtown Toronto this weekend to tour the 54th floor as part of the Doors Open Toronto event. More to come from the 54th floor, but this shot was taken at the ground level plaza, in between the tall towers that make the centre.
Sunrise Over Toronto
Saturday, May 9th, 2009
On my way out the door to catch an early flight, I noticed the sun rising over the city. The sky was a brilliant orange-red colour and I just had to capture it. Screw the waiting taxi, I thought. And I grabbed my camera.
Just as luck would have it, a flock of birds flew across the scene, adding some life to the image. I’m really happy with this one!
This image is unaltered, except for being cropped. It was shot through my living room window, in manual mode (which is rare for me to use, but was a lesson learned from my shots of the sun rising over Uluru in Australia). I basically set the aperture and adjusted the metering until the results met my liking. My lesson learned from this shot: I should have used a better lens, like my 70-200L. Oh well, next time…
