there are a few days in February/March and a few in October when the sun (should it choose to make an appearance) beams straight down the street outside my office at the end of the work-day...
yeah, i know i posted something similar yesterday - but come next week the sun will have moved on... gotta use it while it lasts...
I think you posted this kind of shot before - with a guy crossing the street closer to the foreground? It was one of my favourites. ;) You get sun and we get the most wicked snow squall of the season up here today. 96 car pile up on hwy 400 and thank god Rob was not involved in it this morning!
@kass yes - i have several shots from this vantage point with this kind of light... the one you're thinking of is from last march 1 :) hadn't heard about that pile up... yikes! that's some scariness :(
is this on dundas or bay? great capture with the two pedestrians crossing the street. how we managed street shots today at -18 degrees, eh? with some evil wind blowing. large whitecaps on the lake up to the horizon so you know how bad that wind was today!
@summerfield dundas... with the sun low in the sky in the west... (it was 5:22 not 6:22 - i really thought i'd fixed that)... yeah - my fingers just about fell off... i am so DONE with the ice and cold... off to the bahamas for a few days on saturday - but a ton of stuff to get thru at work tomorrow before i can feel like i can really go
@northy - i should go there one of these afternoons. i remember many years ago, i stood at the corner and the sun was slowly setting and it seemed it hung at the end of the street for forever, and it looked spooky, like end of the world spooky!
@summerfield you should see what things look like from where you are? maybe just as good? the one thing about that stretch of dundas, tho', is that with the funky lights on yonge street, you often get that clear stretch of road which makes for the good silhouetted pedestrian or bike shots...
@northy - my view of sunsets from the office is of top of buildings, the CN tower and cranes. and with the weird construction of the building's windows, and the lights reflecting or refracted on the gilded windows, taking a pic is a real beatch! in the summer though, we should go the island airport (i have a standing invitation from my porter contacts) and we'll watch the sun set on the lake possibly with the silhouette of one or two airplanes taking off. our sunsets here are as beautiful as anywhere else!
This is so cool. It wasn't until my first year doing the project that I realized how quickly the sun changes position. I took a sunset photo in one location where the sun was at the end of a long road. I went back a week later, and the sun had completely changed position. I was dumbfounded temporarily.
