Here’s another photo showing off the long shadows at Rosetta McLean Park. The tree casting those shadows is a really funky one. I’ve got another photo that’ll give you a better idea of what I’m talking about. I’ll post it another time.

Here’s another photo from Rosetta McLean Park. When I first came upon this little guy he was pretty skittish and ran off under some bushes. I didn’t think I’d get a photo of him, but his curiosity got the best of him and he came out to see what the heck I was doing. I think I snapped this photo as he was about to run up a tree.

Here’s a photo of the supports holding up the walls of Filmport, a huge film studio located down in the industrial lands. Sadly, it’s not been seeing much movie business since it was built. Our Mayor dumped a bunch of tax payer money into the project (see article), so it’s a bit disappointing to see it failing. On the other hand, Filmport should have seen it coming, based solely on all the bad decisions our local government seems to continually make. If Mayor David Miller supports or endorses something you’re doing, you should be very concerned.   By the same token, it’s also disappointing to see our city failing, but we can fix that come the municipal election in 2010. I can’t wait!

Lynn: This composition was inspired by your own wonderful photography work.

I remember taking this photo hoping it would turn out as good as it looked for real. I like it, but there’s definitely an exposure problem. It seems my camera struggled to resolve the light and dark areas. On site you could see the streams of light coming down from the clouds. It was great.

This photo is from my rainday a while back. I stopped at a factory on Brimely Road near Ellesmere and snapped a bunch of photos. I only posted one so far, because I really didn’t think they were all that interesting. I like this one, though. Sort of looks like they’re all waiting in line for tickets to a concert or something.

I thought this plaque on the wall was interesting. Really not much more to say about it.

This photo is from my cemetery sunset set. I dialed back the saturation just enough to leave the sunlit areas in colour. I think it came out okay.
