Toronto Photography Meetup Group

Heya guys..just wondering if ANYBODY can recommended any conservatory/trails i can hit up and shoot in? The seasons are changing and fall is my all time favorite season next to winter.

Im looking for places in Toronto and neighboring Cities. Don't feel like driving all the way to Algonquin park just yet.

I just went out today and shot couple hundred pics with a friend of mine ( a fellow member with same gear) at the conservatory at Stoufville and Bayview area called Jefferson Forest Properties.

That place should look beautiful when the colours of the leaves change.

Any other suggestions similar to what i mentioned?

I usually go to East Don Parkland at Sheppard & Leslie and it's quite beautiful in the fall.

Hanlan's Point Beach

i don't think there's much to shoot there

In this weather there might be plenty of goosebumps (nudist beach)

Caveat - I am not a botanist/naturalist but I wonder if the trees on the island might be the last trees in the area to change colours because of the warming lake effect.

ah too bad i don't shoot goosebumps.

I am also not a botanist, but I can attest that the leaves closer to the lake in my area are greener than the ones away from it. Of course, here there is a much greater elevation change as you move away from the lake than there is in the city which would also influence the change.

My experience is that there is plenty of 'interesting' jewelry and piercing shots to be had there

Hamilton .. Everything you need .. 130 waterfalls .. Lookout points .. Trails .. Pretty much wicked

i know its late but there are quite a few trails in Milton that are really nice notably Crawford Lake and Rattlesnake Point.

Rattlesnake point is an excellent nature hike. It's never too late to shoot... even when all the leaves are gone -- isolation of the forest, emptiness, all good themes.
