Toronto Skyline from Tommy Thompson Park - Peter Verboom

Shot this with a 7 exposure tonemap. There was slight ghosting from the flying birds but I retouched those out. I really liked the rays of sun coming through the clouds.

Sunset Lake Shore Boulevard - Peter Verboom

This week I snapped a few shots through the windshield while driving on Lake Shore Boulevard into the sunset. I was in the passenger seat so it was safe to shoot while driving. I'm noticing a trend in my photos lately as they all seem to be at sunset/dusk/night. I should contrast some of these with sunrise pictures for the future to bring in some balance, so stay tuned!

Tugboat Crew in Fog - Peter Verboom

Tugboat crew heads out to heard in the ships at Hamilton Harbour. I was photographing the HMS Haida in the fog when these two crew members arrived for their shift. I kept shooting towards the ship but looked over my shoulder and saw this frame happening. I only snapped one photo which was overly orange from the Sodium-vapor lamps, so I colour corrected the scene to resemble what I saw.

Sunset Chopper - Bill at Bmcvisuals

Boy what a week!  A week filled with excitement and great news.  One of our best friends has come to stay with us for a month, and after 5 very long months of looking for employment since being laid off, I received an offer to join a fantastic organization.  Which by the way only took 5 interviews.  Suffice it to say, the week didn't provide many opportunities to shoot.  However, given that we now have 3 Boston Terriers running loose through the house ( 1 is ours, 2 our best friends, 1 of which is the sister of ours ), there was this opportunity to catch Chopper sitting on the floor in our bedroom, lit by the evenings sunset.  It's like there's someone in there wanting to talk to me!

Foggy Nuke - Peter Verboom

I was driving home on the 401 Monday night and saw a large patch of fog just over the lake. I grabbed my gear and rushed down to the Pickering Waterfront to capture some images but by then the dense fog had moved eastward. This photo shows the tail end of it travelling between the reactors of the nuclear plant. The water was rough from the high winds so I did a long exposure of 3.2 seconds to smooth the waves. I would have tried a longer exposure to increase the effect, but I was at F32 and ISO 100 already and do not yet have any ND filters in my kit. If my girlfriend is reading this, my birthday is coming up ;)
