Re: Today in pictures

My mother came into Toronto on VIA rail train yesterday. I went downtown on the GO train to pick her up at Union station. I hate driving down there now - and avoid it whenever possible. The roads were blocked with construction anyway. Funny, when I was a young lass I'd think nothing of going down there to go to discos and meet the boyfriend, but now it's just too much. Anyway, to help pass the time, I took a few snaps...

Thank you Margaret. There certainly is an energy to big cities - I find myself repelled and attracted at the same time!

Thanks Davemac. On Friday I get to take my mother back downtown, also on the train. I'll sit on the other side next time and try to get some shots of the waterfront side of things before I drop her off. The next leg of her journey is a good five hours.

Me too ... I think that's why I feel comfortable in neutral Kingston ... technically a city, but still small-town Canada, with rural Canada only minutes away. And we are located about half way between TO and Montreal ... I love Montreal. There's an element of the plastic about TO which I don't sense in Montreal. I'm real glad Madame Marois lost the election ... mon Canada inclut le Quebec

Re: Today in pictures

A bit of an experiment tonight, focus stacking, multiple macro pics (12 here - could have done with more) merged to increase depth of field (yes I am a bit bored tonight).

Well, I don't understand how you did it, but it is pretty impressive.

All down to the software Margaret, that's what does most of the work.

Re: Today in pictures

But you have to have the creative idea first.
Yes the software does the work, but it doesn't do it on it's own.

Re: Today in pictures

Managed to capture a Kingfisher at last as well as an unusual array of other bird and plant life including a particularly nice poisonous mushroom for DaveMac! All up at Sizergh Castle near Kendall on Monday in glorious weather. What an amazing place - was in heaven -took over 220 photos o.O !!! Watch this space...
