Picture of the day...

cavalcade of lights

...taken last night from the skating rink at Toronto City Hall during the cavalcade of lights that runs through December. Hot chocolate, music, live bands -- all while skating on ice in subzero temperatures -- how does it get any better??

In My Element

That's me, today. It was clear, chilly (~ +1 c) and windy (~25 km/h). I used a "Gorillapod" to attach my camera to a tree and snap a self-timer shot on a little used path far from town, at about the halfway mark of my 3 hour route. What a fine way to spend an afternoon.

Cool technique, great timing, interesting trees / color. Nice to see you...

 

[freebooter]

Thanks. Those are cool trees. I'm not sure but I think they are chestnuts. I've seen locals picking up the nuts around there in October. It's one of my favorite spots on my run.

Oh, wow! Just love those colors...and the composition too.

Rainbud

Forced inside by the rain yesterday, so shot this with a telephoto lens from the shelter of my front porch at a distance of about 8 feet.

Sweet. I like this one, too. Very good colors. Were you zooming while shooting?

Thanks! No, I was not zooming during the shot, though the unprocessed shot almost looked like it. I did add radial blur in PSE.

Fantastic picture! I love blurred background for flowers and stuff like that. I almost like it more than the flower in focus. I'm weird like that.

I love this thread. I've just been clicking through and saving all of my favorite pictures.

I agree!

I thought that the picture really worked.

I have one of these table tripods. Haven't had the chance to use it yet; but I may have found my inspiration.

Good eye on using PS for post processing work!
