Reflecting on Toronto

I was impressed by Toronto. There was so much glass in the city, it was hard not to take pictures of reflections. I was also intimidated, having seen so many good shots of Toronto. I know my shots pale in comparison, but here they are anyway. Maybe someday I'll get to go back when I have more time to wander.

Blue Dome

I got to spend a couple of days in Toronto. I've never been here before, and I'm impressed. The city is gorgeous and very photogenic. There are so many photobloggers from here (it seems) that taking a shot is a little intimidating. But I had fun anyway. I'll be posting more in the next few days.

Corny Portrait

Ever wonder why my kids get tired of my camera? It's shots like these, where they don't even get a moment to eat without a lens in their faces!
I desaturated partially in PSE. I kind of like the way it looks, and so did my daughter.

Super Shot

A pinata from a recent birthday party, Superman was the hit of the day. Something about his face reminded me of President Reagan, I think.

And what an appropriate shot for my 300th post!

A's Portrait

This is my daughter, A. She's 13 and is a beautiful person and a beautiful girl, really. I can't believe she's a teenager, but we have fun every day. I can't wait to see what a wonderful woman she'll become.

As for the photo, I wish the DOF were a little deeper. I like how her eye is sharp, but wish her nose were in focus, too. Oh well, live and learn. The problem is, she doesn't give me many chances, so I have to make the best of them!

Power Trip

For the two people who look at my photo site, sorry I haven't posted anything in a while. I've been working so much, when I get home I just want to go to bed.

Anyway, this shot was taken a week or two ago as I was leaving work one night, just before sunset (yea, it was around 9:00 p.m.). This was about 1/2 sec exposure.

Smilin' J

My son has a great smile, and he uses it all the time! This was hanging out in Louisville on a recent trip.

Shoes Cutout

I used a little PS on this shot, just playing around. I liked it better than the original, though I did like the original shot, too.

Crockery

Well, I got my camera back Thursday, but hardly have had time to take any shots. Visting friends on Saturday, I took a couple of shots, like this one. Starting slow, huh?
