Good event David. Thanks!

DG

Thanks David for organizing, it was a great day lots of laughs and fun!

Oh my, the Bedroom at Spadina House and the Bathroom at Casa Loma.

Unfortunately. I was in the room next door and I heard Sapna in the bathroom ask"how it came out?". Incorrigible she is.

Hahahahaha ohhh my God! Did i say that?! Ouuchhh i was probably referring to the shot :p i can't stop laughing bahahaha

Thanks David! Great times and lots of laughs - especially the bathroom humour and the fun in the sun room - tripods a plenty!

Sapna I don't think there is a room in any house you can't cause a stir in! Lol

Had a lot of fun! Thanks to all who came today! Even got a free meal after attempting to serve me RAW hamburger.

I will speak highly of the Buffalo Chicken pizza at the Pour House, and will try to remember from now on *not* to get a burger there.

Good shots today. Spent the rest of the day once I got home working on my MS Word macro that I've worked the balance of the weekend on... so I'll check out my shots later in the week.

When I went to the bathroom there was nobody there.

Some nice photos from the day.

Bynx - then u went there at the wrong toine as their was a party going on wheni was there! Lol

Nice photo btw!

Ya Jordan, Im always a dollar short and a day late. What a great day yesterday. The only problem was....it was too short. Thanks David.

On a side note of interest. We were given a floorplan when we entered Casa Loma. The rooms were numbered according to the listen aids people were walking around with. In each room was a card with the number corresponding to the listening tour. So now it is easy to match up the photo of any room with the floor plan by matching the numbers of the card with those on the floorplan. Hope this makes sense.
Here are another couple pics.

Here is the video I captured on the weekend. No - I am not posting the high speed shots of me running

From the tunnel to the stables and garage. HDR with five photos processed in HDR Pro.

Another experiment in HDR:


Windsor Room HDR by ofermod, on Flickr

"Toronto At Your Feet" - Taken from one of the towers

They cleaned the windows? I didn't bother going all the way up (I was also pressed for time).

They were fairly clean but there are many scratches (as you can see) from the previous visitors who can't grasp the concept of "look don't touch".
SO MANY STAIRS!

I liked the spiral staircase.
I had to hold my camera bag above my head for fear of continually getting stuck.

I went to the top but nothing to see. Unfortunately the North Tower was closed.

Here is another shot of the Windsor Room.

I love the angular composition on this one, it's really unique. The HDR really makes the highlights pop! Great stuff!

This was great. I enjoyed the video and the choice of music matched perfectly.

I like these shots Alex. I always miss the details when I shoot trying to capture the whole thing.

When I go on these "photographer outings" I try to get things that aren't typical of the venue.
Get the shot(s) that few others see - hopefully.
