Toronto 2010

It was a beautiful day to spend on Toronto Island, and we found a quiet patch of beach to take some city shots from. With some gear help and advice from my buddy Brian, we set up the camera with two ND8 neutral density filters, an ND4, and a circular polarizer (on top of a UV filter, which at this point was probably unnecessary).  This allowed us to take a 30 second exposure on a sunny16 type of day (that Brian has some crazy ideas). The polarizer let us see the  bottom of the lake, and the long exposure smooths the waves and removes any moving vehicles. Gives an HDR type effect without the multiple exposures. As for composition, I think I got lucky with this one. Last shot of the day. The rest were rubbish.

    I love this one. Would make a great background/wallpaper. Even a postcard! “Wish you were here–”
