Perspectives

Everyone with a camera eventually starts taking vanishing points. You can get some great views trying out this technique.





Not all vanishing points have to disappear over the horizon.

Jumping Dog

Neat thing I like about a great DSLR like the Nikon D200 is the great action shots you can get. Case in point, Nietzsche running and jumping for a stick. The kid can get some great altitude.








It was a gray day out. I think a brighter day I would be able to get my shutter speed up to a faster setting and get less blur when he moves. He's one fast dog when he wants to be. Other notes, this was done back in November at Cherry Beach here in Toronto. Can't keep him out of the water when he gets his mind on it.

Old Buildings, Old Advertisments part 2

Found a few more examples of the old stuff. I guess you could say that I am documenting them for posterity. Eventually they will fade away, or the building will be torn down. Part of our history and culture. I hope people have better examples when they weren't so worn out.

As you can see with this one, the graffiti "artists" are starting their version of urban renewal.



I think this one says "Adams Furniture", almost gone. These two pictures are from "The Junction" in Toronto's west end.


I remember when I lived in Toronto there used to be a factory for Tip Top Tailors. Down at the base of Bathurst street. One of my cousins friends mother worked there and could make a shirt in less then a minute. Mind boggling.




I took an earlier picture with my old camera. This one is a better shot of this advertisement. You see a lot of history when you are out walking. You just have to recognize it.

Bird's the Word

Yes I may have a strange fascination with squirrels. I have also in the past taken pictures of other animals like birds. Pigeons, ducks, gulls, and others. A little trickier at times, but worth the effort.




More to come at another time. These were all taken with my old point and shoot camera. See you around

Odd Site With No Name

Every time you're out you may see some interesting things. Sometimes they have a name or title sometimes they don't. Take for example the following series of pictures. It looks interesting, and like it could be used for something. What is it though? Art? Functional? Non-functional. All I can say is that it has a good view down on the water front.

When The Fog Lies Low

Sometimes Taking shots at night is difficult. When they are taken they can sometimes be worth it. Case in point:






Nothing further at this time.

SQUIRREL!

I have recently developed a strange fascination with squirrels. Don't ask me why, don't ask me how....





It's cold out side, can't find any right now.
