Hi Paul. Which wide are you using here + aperture and speed? Nice sharpnes and mood!My GXR body is away for a new LCD. I'm missing it!
Here's a shot from a few weeks ago when, unusually this summer, the sun shone:
C&C always welcome.
Thorkil: thank you! It's the Heliar 4.5/15. Shutter was 1/710 sec, and I would guess that the aperture was f5.6, as I had zone focussed and was walking round the harbour snapping at random. This was the only good shot....Hi Paul. Which wide are you using here + aperture and speed? Nice sharpnes and mood!

This is indeed very good. Thanks for sharing.Keith: thanks for your kind words. This is about the third rendering of this image: as Godfrey comments from time to time, it's abandoned rather than finished! Glad you like it!

thanks. I do like zone-focusing too and that strange silent question of what the fate will do for one today, and I'm just waiting for the 16mp module to put my 15mm Heliar on tooKeith: thanks for your kind words.

Lovely, Keith. Tell me about the building/architecture, please."BCE Place at Sunset"
Thanks, Keith. It's a beautiful piece of architecture (to my eye: our heir apparent and I don't see eye-to-eye on the subject of carbuncles).Hi Paul, thank you:
It is in the core of Toronto and is now called Brookfield Place, but no one can get used to that, so they refer to it by the original name, BCE Place. This structure is just part of the complex and is called the Allen Lambert Galleria.
From Wikipedia
The Allen Lambert Galleria, sometimes described as the "crystal cathedral of commerce", is an atrium designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava which connects Bay Street with Sam Pollock Square. The six story high pedestrian thoroughfare is structured by eight freestanding supports on each side of the Galleria, which branch out into parabolic shapes evoking a forest canopy[4] or a tree-lined avenue because of the presence of building facades along the sides of the structure.
It's a beautiful place to photograph because of the light.
