The ongoing Toronto Trip

Niagara Falls Day 2

Thats one of my fave pics that one!

Another great set. When do you finish your trip ?

I returned home on Friday to hayfever. I've got about a weeks worth of pictures left to process

Where is it your staying?

Are you always on the move and staying where you are or do you just make the trips out there ?

I was staying with TerraS in his rather cool condo. I made a trip out to Niagara which was 2hrs by train and stayed in a motel. That was as far as I went.

 

[cyKey]

Thought so. Does TerraS shoot with you or does he have work?

I think I speak for everyone when I ask for pics of his apparently cool condo

I meant to do a HDR one but I never got round to it. Everytime I was there I was knackered from walking He did join me at the weekends but as he has to work he's slowly going through his shots.

God, I'm so, so jealous. I wish my Toronto pics were even half as good as that. I'm learning loads of stuff about Toronto that I never knew and I've been there twice.

Helicopter flight over the falls gives a totally different perspective, but it doesn't always run. It's also pretty brutal on video cameras (first time I went, the camera jammed, second time I went, it wasn't running).

Few tips for anyone else looking at cyKey's photos and going there:

If you like Hard Rock Cafe, there's another one in the Skydome, and there's two at Niagara Falls (one either side).

As others have said, get Up the CN Tower (unless you're afraid of heights of course). Do Sky Pod too if you can, but it's an extra charge and can get very busy. Stand on the glass floor if you dare.

I see you found the Subway. There' salso the PATH network as well. Nothing spectacular down there but it's another fairly unique aspect of Toronto.

That's all. I want to go back there now.

Yeah we meant to goto the Hard Rock Cafe to watch a game with our meal but time got the better of us. The PATH system is an excellent concept but so hot in the hot weather. I was trying to build my confidence to go up the CN Tower but the lift in TerraS's condo fell like half a floor once and I'm now scared of lifts

Wandering around Toronto

Flooded Subway.

We didn't do much that day but this was a great spot for photos.

Love the impression on the woman in picture 2.

Can I ask why you have chosen a mainly black & white theme for these partic shots? Its not critisim at all, just curious why.

I guess because of the stereotypical subway black and white style I didn't really think to put them in colour.

Trip to Burlington

Casa Loma and Greek Town

Last Major Wander

I only have 1 more day left of photos to process. Then some random lomo shots. It really feels like the holiday is getting close to being done even though I've been back for a week.

I love the nighttime Toronto skyline shots across the lake - beautiful colours in those reflections

Yeah me too. I'm probably going to get one blown up with Photobox. Just the issue of the flare.

 

[cyKey]

great photos, although how are you storing them ? zonealarm wont alllow them, even enabling private headers (which usually stop pics) and 3rd party stuff, only address pics seem to link to is petemc.net

I've only got hotlink protection enabled. Other than that I'm not doing anything.

The Final Day

Thats it really. I'll be posting some random lomo shots from around Toronto over the next few days on my site and maybe some other shots that I might have forgotten to post. But these are the major photos from my 3 weeks in Toronto. I think I'll do a best of post simply because there were so many photos that it would be nice to sum up my time in one post. I hope it hasn't been too boring to follow Thanks for everyones comments over the past few weeks.
