My partner was out of the house last night/this morning, so I took advantage by getting up before the crack of dawn (now that dawn's cracking at a more reasonable time), feeding the cats, then schlepping (~before~ my first coffee, mind you!) the *istD, Tokina 80-200mm f2.8 and monopod down to the lake to try to get some photos of daybreak.
It was a mixed success. Clouds on the horizon obscured the actual sunrise over the lake. Got lots of photos anyway, but none grabbed me. To the east of the actual sunrise was the skyline of Toronto, and again, took loads of photos. I think this is the best of them: http://knarfdummyblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/quiet-city.html Hope you enjoy. Comments welcome. BTW, the title was blatantly ripped off from one of my favourite Aaron Copland pieces which he wrote for an Irwin Shaw play (Quiet City) which ended up never being published. It's playing on the stereo now; if you listen real close you may be able to hear it. ;-) cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
