Toronto Skyline (take II)

I’ve posted this image before, but very shortly after I grew less and less fond of it. Funny how you can go from being happy with an image to completely hating it. I made some small adjustments, including a different crop (something that I play with too little). So I’m slightly happier with it than before, but look forward to re-shooting it again when the weather improves.

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.
