City of Toronto

Two views looking westerly along the Gardiner Expressway from Rees Street into the setting sun. Toronto's condominium boom has changed the western downtown core considerably. When the Rogers Centre (then Skydome) opened in 1989, the venue was surrounded by derelict industrial areas. Just a decade later, the same area is inhabited by tens of thousands of people. Toronto Planning staff are planning a similar transition for an area of Toronto colloquially known as the Portlands, an area that is located at the mouth of the Don River, east of Downtown. With government mandates such as Ontario's Greenbelt Act, there is increasing pressure to curb residential sprawl, and redevelop 'brownfields' with new mixed use residential and commercial developments.

Two evening views of Downtown Toronto from the Polson Street Pier in Downtown Toronto. During the fall of 2010, I experimented considerably with low light exposures. Low light exposures are more difficult to capture than a conventional exposure. Some tips that I have learned during my trials: Use a good tripod: A flimsy tripod will reward a photographer with a blurry photo. Weather is extremely important: Unless a photographer is looking for a specific effect, avoid taking photos on hazy or windy days. On a hazy day, photos don't turn out clearly, and will appear far more grainy than they would had they been taken on a clear day. Finally, even with a good solid tripod, a windy day can blow at tripod around every so slightly, and can make for a blurry photo.

Town of Greater Napanee

County of Lennox & Addington

View looking easterly along Highway 2 as the highway passes through Desoronto. I don't know the full history, but Highway 2 passes to the north of Desoronto's business district. I have a sneaking suspicion that Highway 2's alignment has been moved northerly in this area due to the Shannonville Indian Reserve.
