cool! I think that pic is the only one I have worth showing.. i am sure not a big city photog. Thanks again Airic, it sure was a good time, even though we only made the PM part of the day. I was watching you all closely, and I sure am looking fwd to seeing just exactly what the heck you all were doing out there!!

Ray, I have to say you did not look as comfortable today as you do when you are wading through a swamp with no pants on to shoot some Herons. Today’s wildlife was a little different from what you usually shoot. It was sure nice to see you Daisy and Maria again. I have already shown Berni the photos I took of Maria and she loved them. I will post some soon, sure glad you guys made it.

This guy was pretty cool and enjoyed having his photo taken. I think he made a few dollars off of us. I’m not really happy with my images of him and I’m looking forward to seeing what everyone else got.

Excellent images Airic. It was really amazing to see everyone. The weather held off, but it was really windy. We did have to dodge a few signs along the way.
This is my first edit as well..more in a few minutes.

It was great meeting everyone (in person) today. Unfortunately, I'm sad to say, I'm not very happy with any of my shots though. Oh well... it was a great experience!

Here is my rendition of the reflection.... Hey Carl... what were you looking at? :)

Chiller

10-29-2006, 10:28 PM

Here are a few I managed to get done so far.

This guy was all in for having our mini paparazzi photograph him. He was all smiles all the way.
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-12/564918/CRW_1667a.jpg

Twins...
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-12/564918/IMG_1654a.jpg

We managed to crawl down some of the back allies of the streets. All I can say are there are some really interesting places back there. This caught my eye as I was leaving one of them
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-12/564918/CRW_1675A.jpg

Suzanne had a bit of an issue with this guy. Seems he wanted $$$ to have his pic taken. I followed him around his shop for a bit and he finally posed....sort of....:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: If that glare could kill...

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-12/564918/IMG_1664a.jpg

I think this guy is still standing there. :lol:

Killer shots Carl, I think I like the shop owner pic the best, to funny. I remember seeing that last guy.

Suzanne, I’m sure you got a few good ones to show us. You put so much energy into your shooting today.

Great stuff all! Wish we could have made it up there. Looking forward to more :D

10-29-2006, 11:09 PM

Carl... those shots are awsome. I remember the wall guy as well... I believe that he had blue hair if memory serves.... he did move cuz I never got to take his pic. I tried to get a shot of the caged man - battery died just as I snapped that shot :(

Here is another angle of the angry shop owner (I seemed to have this effect on a number of people today). BTW, I wasn't even trying to take HIS photo... he wanted money from me to take pictures of his dried fish!

Ah. Cool. Meet-up pics :drool:

Wonderful ones so far. Absolutely smashing.
It does look a bit on the chiller - erm: chilly side, but the sky is nicely open. No rain (or snow, for that matter!).

Coolest people shots and those of TPFers, but I miss the salute so far!

Ray, you MUST have taken something worth showing. Must. I am sure.
C'mon, this is the meet-up thread, not DA.

Post more ... and more ... see how much we posted after the London Meet-Up!

brilliant shooting guys, you all are amazing. Maybe next time we will be smart enough to bring the stroller, so I can get shooting, and have a go at it. Street shooting is a talent of its own, and you guys are truly awesome.

AIRIC

Time for a few fast edits before I start working. Its going to be a tough day after being off for a week.

We met the grandson of the guy who built this church ;)

There were a lot of garage bands set up on the street. Kinda cool...they just had a little equipment and plugged their amps in at any store front. This band was actually set up in a store front.

Some very strong work Carl. Blue hair man is pretty funny, I did not dare shoot him. The bell is pretty cool but the singer shot is amazing. The shot of Suzanne shooting into the window, is that not the place where the guy waved the meat cleaver at her from inside :)

Eric

Thanks man.. I think that was the place. I can not remember. Poor Suzanne seemed to get threatened a lot. :lol:
I wonder if blue haired guy can smile. :D

I just love to look at meet-up pics. And yours all convey the fun you must have had so much.

No pub pics, though?

Everyone has posted some really excellent shots!! I guess Jen got busy watching Desperate Housewives last night and didn't have a chance to edit/post her pics. That's okay, we'll wait.

We're still waiting.

Tick tick tick tick....

AIRIC

10-30-2006, 04:11 PM

Suzanne, you have some really cool images there. The last one with the balls rocks. I like the guy in the flight suit, reminds me of a CBC comedian but I can’t remember who. He also still has his lens cap on. I remember the smiling guy, he was really nice and showing us his crabs. I love the shot of me dancing with Maria but there is something wrong with my hair, looks awful grey.

What a fun time.

Chiller

10-30-2006, 04:12 PM

:D Great stuff Suzanne. Love that shot of the balls. It was a tricky one, but you pulled it off. You might be able to burn that glare out a bit in ps. I might give it a go later. Love the reflections.
Wow, you sure were harrassed yesterday.

We need Jens stuff now. I just hope there is not a Desperate Housewives marathon going on.:lmao: :lmao:

Everyones shots are really awesome. Sure brings back a memory of the day. :D :D

Ever seen a sick pumpkin?

So this guy was holding a rope to suspend a giant paper skull
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b220/airic2001/tpfto200610297990copy.jpg

And people were asked to hold a rope tied to the skull while a girl read a story about Halloween to the kids

And when the story was over everyone was asked to pull on the ropes until the skull ripped apart and it rained candy

Lets just say he was still shooting film and a little jealous of all the DSLRs we were packing.

Eric

^^That works for me...

Having the opportunity to look at everyone's shots is so amazing. I love seeing how other people interpreted (sp?) things. What a great day. I am looking forward to the next meetup already. Great shots everyone.

AIRIC

Jen, those are great. The first three look sweet despite the poor lighting, great job. I really like the Busker shot and think it is the best we got, nice smile and looking right at the camera.

thats it! I spent most of my time with the sweet Maria in my arms, and really, i just wanted to meet for lunch, and these characters dragged us all over the city.

Kidding aside, it was a hoot, I always enjoy a hook up with Eric and Carl, and with these wonderful gals here too, it really made for a fun time.

now, back to where I belong.. in the trees and mud of the swamp...

OK, so this is it. Jeanne and I left everyone else at Union Station as I parked in her building. As we walked out of the Air Canada Centre we were treated to the last rays of light gently lighting up the city. It was so pretty I had to dig the camera out of the bag again and take a few shots. Perfect end to the day.

I'm just blown away by everyone's shots. I think "hey, I was standing there too, why didn't I think to shoot it from that angle?" It is very very cool and informative to see how and what others chose to photograph. And it was a ton of fun 'to boot'. One couldn't have asked for a finer group of people with whom to wander the streets of Toronto, taking pictures, and sharing a lot of laughs.

It takes a lot to get me cold, dunno why., I almost never wear a winter coat, never where gloves or mits, ... that photog was commenting on us as we all were "phushing"<<< I know that is spelt wrong, but it means "reviewing our images".. he is a die hard film shooter, and felt we were all wasting our time., he was dressed up like a camera clown, 3-4 assorted film cameras and 3-4 camera bags.. etc. more of a showboat then a photog imo.

Great shots everyone.. sorry for dumping my recent bird images in there, I guess I felt my thread needed a boost!!

Looking fwd to the next meet... who is the planner this time?? I think Airic did such a great job on this one, he should get things rockin again soon., how about a nature hike?? Amherst Island?? haaa!

the zoo sounds cool too., I haven't been there this year., and i would bet some tpf'ers would like to see a free owl in a forest... that is a incredible experiance., like the day Eric and I hiked out onto a farm field in the cold to see this lady...

Nice ones Carl. I think that I have a few more to post as well... but can't do that from the office. Maybe in the next couple of days.

Hope we can do it again sometime soon,

Cool shots Jeanne - now how did I miss that Queen Grafitti mural?

And I totally agree there is alot of talent posted here - there are some very inspirational images. I would love to go try this again.

I am thrilled you enjoyed my shots and for the very warm welcome! Thank you so much!! :) :)

This is it from me. As and aside, I went back to Chinatown today in hopes of reshooting the spheres, unfortunately they were gone :(

Carl, if someone was waving a cleaver at me... I must admit I missed it. Damn - that could been a great shot!

All these shots are from the original TPF meetup.

A church door. It's nothing special... but I like the feel of it
http://photography.megapaws.ca/IMG_1064a.JPG

I didn't pay attention to the building that this statue was in front of... Carl, do you remember? I want to go back and get a better shot with shallower DOF

Jeanne, I love the angle you got on this one - the tree branches with the sparse leaves really add something to it for me. Great job!

Chiller

11-02-2006, 04:11 PM

Excellent shooting Suzanne. Green man is something else eh? He sure has some moves.
I think the building was on Spadina, but I can not remember where. My idea for shooting that did not work either, and I want another try. Im hoping to get another crack at this area again in the next few weeks. There was so much to shoot there. Thought about some lensbaby stuff too, I would like to try

AIRIC

11-02-2006, 04:19 PM

Suzanne. I remember this statue as I took a shot of Carl at the same place. Not Spadina but we were heading north on some street between somewhere and somewhere :lol:

Eric, that's great... thanks for the help :confused: Sorry for the confusion though. I know WHERE the place is (Simcoe Street across from Roy Thompson Hall), just not WHAT the place is. No need to be jealous of my going back down there again either. Mostly took some "from the hip shots" (thanks for that idea Raymond) while I was running an errand - no big deal.

wow more beautiful images. This is so cool! I love the reflection and the Open image Suzanne - I remember you taking that one. And a great group shot Jeanne (and I normally hate those lol ;))

I think that place you are talking about Suzanne was a medical health centre.

Please let me know if you guys are planning round 2 of Kensington. I would be interested in that for sure!!

Cheers!

All right, Jenns in. We should be able to get a good little group to go again. I was just thinking, Remembrance Day is on Saturday the 11th. I’m trying to get a ride on a memorial flight but if that fails I was thinking of going down to Old City Hall to shoot some images of the ceremonies. Anyone interested?

Thanks for the comments Jeanne. I love that group shot - into the light and all. We all look so happy, not scary or gruesome at all. Good one.

Not wanting to steal any thunder from anyone, Raymond asked us at one point if we'd ever done "this".... as he started shooting some random shots at us "from the hip", so that's where I got it from originally. You may have been off in an alley :sexywink: with Carl at the time :lmao:

As for Rememberance Day... I'd love to join you all, but I'm working. I'll see if I can manage to meet up with you even if only for a little while.

Chiller

11-03-2006, 11:57 AM

I will about 95% sure for the Remebrance day stuff and will probably shoot the Santa Claws:fangs: parade. I messed up a lot of shots last year, cause I was shooting towards the sun.... Im gonna fine a better local this year.

I remember the "from the hip" shots from Raymond. He was using that darn camera like a machine gun. :lmao: :lmao: I was tempted to put my bandana on him and call him Raybo:lmao:

Welcome to TFP :) Hope you can stick around. Looking forward to more from you :mrgreen: I really must try my hardest to make it to one of these meets one day :)

Thank you. When I was in the company of all these great photographers I had to be at my best just to keep up with them. They were a great bunch and I can see these outings becoming more regular as we all got along so well and I think motivated each other. I think Carl was the hardest one to keep up with as he was chasing people down right and left to get their photos. Maybe that is because there is five of him :lol:

That is true. I think I was the only one to post "from the hip" shots but Raymond did a pretty impressive demonstration in front of most of us. The D-200 fires pretty fast.
