241/365 Photo Project - Montreal Waterfront Panoramic

Montreal Waterfront Panoramic

Another sunny Montreal morning and another day of walking for what seems like miles through the various neighborhoods of this great city. Today's walk starts with a stroll around the waterfront where unfortunately these fountains did not provide much of a respite from the heat. At least it was a little less humid today. What happened to the fall like temperatures we were promised by the weather forcasters?

Here 3 separate shots taken with the Canon PowerShot SX230HS are combined in to a panoramic in post processing. I didn't see someone's kid run in the to frame during the last shot taken and I don't have the energy to remove him in post processing ;)

Seems like a really nice place to take pictures :)
I think the photo worked just fine with the kid :)

Thanks for your feedback, I guess the kid gives some perspective I suppose. I was more shocked that I didn't notice he was in the frame when taking the shot.

I am country down the days until I can return again, a great city for vacationing and relaxing!

12/365 Photo Project - Sunburst Molly

Image
Sunburst Molly Today certainly was a day for indoor photography with 60mph wind gusts and none stop rains pounding the pavement I wasn't going to subject my camera equipment (or myself) to those elements. Instead I focused my Pentax K200d mounted to the Pentax DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL lens on the wildlife of our aquarium. With my Pentax K200d in macro mode using a tripod and on camera flash I set the sweet spot of focus on the bottom of the tank and waited for the fish to come in to frame. I certainly wish I had more patience to stand there longer, this still took over 20 frames before getting anywhere close to a fish in focus and framed decently. The on camera flash makes the shadow very contrasty here and the depth of field is very shallow - for instance the fish to the left of the frame was less than an inch closer to the lens but is completely out of focus. Perhaps a lesson on photographing fish is needed.

26/365 Photo Project - Broadway Station

Image
Broadway Station Heading in to Boston for lunch today lent itself to taking today's photo of the Broadway T Station on the MBTA Red line. The difficulty here was capturing the length of the platform and the repeating columns while trying to ensure no commuters were in the frame. Looking back at this image I wish I had paid more attention to the recycle newspaper bins and positioned myself so they weren't in the shot. C'est la vie! Taken with the Canon PowerShot SX230HS in Auto mode. No post processing.
