Toronto Photography Meetup Group

The Bacon was good! Thank you to everyone that came... I know that in the end we ended up seperating a bit, but that was to be expected with such a large group. I got some great classic shots, and some new things too. I hope everyone had a great time.

I really enjoyed my first outing with the Group, and meeting the members. (Just don't expect me to remember all your names!)

Midway, here we come!


Tripod? I don't need no stinkin' tripod!

Thanks David, as usual had a good time.
My feet hate me... but what the heck.

I did end up parking at CAMH. Parking on Douro St. one block south of King would have been three blocks closer (City metered).

Thanks Dave! I really enjoyed the ducks:

Thanks Dave for planning this and thanks to everyone else for making myself and my friend Paul feel welcome. It was a lot of fun and I hope to make it to another event some time soon.

Nice pics everyone. I look forward to seeing others. It's always nice to see people's interpretations.

Talked to this photographer for a bit before I realized she wasn't from TPMG. LOL. Forgot her name though.. maybe the other photographers who were with me remembers? Anyway, told her about TPMG.. maybe she'll come by and introduce herself again?

Finally getting my shots up, still a few more to go on my Flickr, just one for now coming here:



Great to see so many out on Tuesday, and to meet so many new members (been a while since i've made a TPMG event), sorry i won't remember your names, but i'm pretty good at "hey, i know you, from the place with the cameras and the lights and stuff!!"

wow... that's a great pic Stephen.... should sell it to Nikon as a promo for the D700 with 14-24mm lens.

This was my first time to the EX and it was pretty fun.

There were ferris wheels:

but I think the highlight of the evening was finding the chocolate covered bacon:

Great photos everyone! But that chocolate covered bacon.... Eeeew! I love chocolate, and I love bacon, but not together!!!

I am with you on that one

I forgot to answer the question regarding the upcoming camera shows we were discussing while in the Food building:

Except for the one in Montreal, you can find public transit directions in the TPMG link I posted at the start of this reply (I've taken public transit to both the Wooten show and PHSC).

Thanks for organizing the shoot! It was great to finally get out to a shoot!
