My first attempt at fireworks. This was from sunday.

Nice, I like the fact you included the ride.

Wonderland, I presume? Drove by there on Sunday (south-bound 400) at about 11:30 and the line up to get in must have been a mile long, if not longer.

Kps: nope, didn't get past the beam. My wife happened along just as I was going to try and get a better shot; I was waiting for her to come off of the train.

Phuviano: it's a dusty lot in Scarborough, near Warden and Eglinton.

Phuviano: digging your fireworks shot. Nice abstract geometrical play between the fireworks arcs and the swooping curves of the roller coaster. Nice and sharp, too.

Market Wharf going up... taken last weekend as were on our way to St. Lawrence Market to pick up some yummy edibles.

Thanks guys.

I like the processing on the second one max.

Thanks Phuviano. I was channeling kps when I went there. Sometimes I like that seared, ultra-processed look - and sometimes I don't.

The more I get into this stuff, the more I believe that photography is as plastic an art as painting or drawing. It can lie, it can seduce, it can distract and dissemble. What's harder is for it to tell the truth.... and perhaps that's because it's very difficult to define truth.

And that's about as philosophical as I care to get this hectic Friday morning... gotta duck out now and get back to work. Have a good weekend everyone, and happy shooting.

LOL, channeling moi?

That building has a distinctive EU look to it, quite Parisian.

Another, simpler facade channeling Jawknee since he hasn't been around lately.

I was looking through my aperture library and I don;t think I've shared this one here.
