Dining on top of Toronto

Last week, we were lucky enough to be invited for a private tour of the CN tower, and to then dine in their fabulously extravagant restaurant called the 360. The food and wine was fabulous and the views from the rotating restaurant were nothing less than spectacular. After our delicious meal, I took the time to take a couple of shots of Toronto’s downtown, about 553 metres above it all. Enjoy.

La semaine passée, nous avons eu la chance d’être invités pour une visite privée de la tour du CN. Nous avons ensuite mangé au restaurant tournant, le 360, au sommet de la tour. Non seulement avons-nous mangé très bien, mais les vues étaient spectaculaires d’en haut! Après notre repas, j’ai pris le temps de prendre quelques photos du centre ville de Toronto, à 553 mètres au dessus!

Photo Monday: High Dynamic Range

Photo Monday

It’s hard to track down the history behind High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography, but the idea has always been the same: to allow a greater range of luminance between the lightest and darkest areas of an image. So, specifically, this technique was originally used to take photos of indoor scenes with windows or highly contrasted scenes, like seascapes. It’s only in the past 20-30 years that it’s been used in a more artistic way (like mine!).

I learned about HDR photography roughly two years ago on a trip to Paris (an amazing place to learn!!). I’ve dabbled in it for a little while, but it’s only now that I realize how interested I am in the technique. For this Photo Monday, I wanted to share my latest experiments with HDR.

Enough with words. Here are the photos:

The King Car — View Large On Black.

Gotham Lofts Entrance — View Large On Black

Toronto under construction — View Large On Black

As before, there were some photos that didn’t make the cut, so make sure you check them all out on flickr: Photo Monday #7.

Have a great week gang!
Cheers,

Photo Monday

For the second edition of Photo Monday, and because that cold winter weather is slowly creeping in, I thought I would try to lift our spirits a little bit and share some of our best sunset shots from around the world.
