According to their website, the “Air Canada Centre is located in the heart of downtown Toronto and is easily accessible by foot, car or public transit”.
Back in November of 2008, I was invited to sit in the one of the box seats at the Air Canada Centre for a game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the New York Rangers. I decided to bring along a camera and try my skills at a panoramic of the entire view of the game from the box seat.
Defining the Toronto skyline, the CN Tower is the world’s tallest building and free standing structure. This shot was created by stitching 18 photographs into one, each shot at a slightly different angle. I was able to stitch a 180 degree view of the view of downtown Toronto from above. This project was challenging, but resulted in a beautiful downtown city panoramic. Thank you to Steve for his assistance in making this shot successful.
Forged knives undergo a treatment process to enhance the flexibility, density, and hardness of the knife. Forged knives tend to be heavier than stamped knives but are much better balanced. Forged knives are hand made through a process of extreme heat and hand moulding. The tang of the knife merges into the handle and is typically secured by three rivets. The following images were shot for stock photography purposes. Pictured here in the following order from top to bottom: Bread Knife, Chef’s Knife, Santoku Knife, Boning Knife, Utility Knife, Paring Knife, Petite Paring Knife. The knives are all available from Pampered Chef’s website.
In the winter of 2007, Steve and I walked up to the local Thai Sun Restaurant, located in Waterloo, Ontario for some Pad Thai. I shot off these images with stock purposes in mind. I was excited by the colours, textures and lighting that this restaurant offered. The modern feel, the great service and the tasty food made this journey a real treat – not to a great photographic opportunity. Would highly recommend that if you are in the KW region, check out this restaurant.
During my time at Wilfrid Laurier University, I studied in the honours Communications Studies program for my undergrad. A club leader approached me and asked me to shoot a group portrait for the yearbook. I shot this image on my final day of being an undergrad at Wilfrid Laurier University. It was a great way to end a four year journey of learning! This is the L.O.C.U.S. group shot at Wilfrid Laurier University, Ontario. March, 2007.
