Flickr Forum: February 15th, 2008 - Blue

This mosaic of blue-centric images looks amazing as a whole. All it's missing is a photo of a pouting Smurf ;)

BLUUUUUE

nice collection of blue !

as for adding a story to my shot - hmm... no real story about it - just was taking some post storm shots in the west end / high park / humber area and this one was just begged to be snapped (or would that be caught!). it's attached to a condo sales office, ironically formally a marine supply warehouse. i wonder what's going to happen to this giant starfish once construction starts... sort of like, what ever became of the vintage 60's clock on the lakeshore motel strip.

thanks for sharing your story nice+smooth! i was really curious what the story behind this photo was. i live in that area, but haven't found this yet... might have to go for a hunt ;)

this pictures are amazing! love the colour!

Hi, thanks for featuring my photo that I snapped out the streetcar window!!! I take the Queen St. streetcar to work and the day after Toronto's 2nd huge snowstorm I took my Canon Rebel XTi to work with me, hoping I'd get something worthwhile to use on my flickr account (www.flickr.com/bonnieshulman). I'd always loved passing by Trinity Bellwoods Park, it's such a lovely view out the window, and it was just a case of knowing the shot I wanted from having passed it so many times, having a window seat, not caring what other people thought, and snapping away. I then photoshopped in some extra blue to give my friends in Europe some idea of how cold it feels in Toronto these days!

I am very pleased that blogTO featured my photo of the Nathan Phillips Square skating rink. This shot was quite impromptu as I was focusing (pardon the pun) on the Nights of Fire Production. I was surprised at how the motion of the people painted blue streaks across the frame. It was taken handheld with my Rebel XTi and the EF-S 17-55 IS lens, image stabilization saved the day (er.. night) again.

I'm really pleased to see my shot included there amongst the other striking shots.

Mine is the lamp with some icicles and a tree branch.

There's a small park a minutes walk from my apartment and it's a handy location for some nice post-snow pictures. This afternoon the late afternoon light was glorious and even though I was battling a cold I had to head out, and was very happy with what I captured.

Cheers, P!

Thanks for including my Bluenose shot! These things lurk outside one of the misnamed "shelters" (actually they serve to intensify and redirect the wind towards anyone hapless enough to stand inside them)along the Viva bus route in Vaughan. I've been puzzling over them for a while and that day suddenly saw the noses. :)
