Photog's Brekafast (2005-10-15) : Scott's Perspective [56k warning!]

ScottMcLeod

12 hours later, Here's the post.

This morning I had breakfast with Helddown (he should post a similar post soon with *his* perspective from it).

Here's how it went:

We went to Golden Griddle for the 11.99$ breakfast, I had my camera bag with me to show him some photos... but it wasn't long before we were snapping away :wink


and stuffing our faces with plate after plate of delicious breakfast... :thumb


Unflattering photos of myself... with my own camera nonetheless!
(There's gotta be rules against this...:scratch)


Artistic fruit!


What's this? A cupcake, left all alone without anyone to care for it? :cry


Helddown cares about it, it's his next model... :wink

(work that sexy brown icing!)

Next, a swing by yonge street, on the way to dundas square... :


Pidgeons? :dunno


Pidgeons! :huh


BIF! PIF? PEV? PTV?! :rofl


Some jazz club streetfronts... (the famous senator...)


Giving a homeless man some change in exchange for some photos... (I took 2... helddown took about 30...)
:flash


Every time I walk by this vent, I seem to take a photo, and there's a different subject sleeping on it...


Helddown playing with a fine peice of ... glass. :rolleyes


A quick purchase... can you guess what it was? :uhoh

(52mm +1 +2 +3... if that isn't obvious enough.)

Photog taking a quick photo... but not quick enough to escape me and Helddown and his new lens... (that's right! New glass!) :wink


We managed to get him a 55-200 4.5-5.6 USM... used. Tag price: 161.99. We got it for 100$+Tax. :clap


I was playing with a 2x extender on my 50mm. Interesting results, though I didn't really understand the light loss and DOF changes and such... :dunno


That's pretty much all I've got...

It was a great breakfast, I'm hoping to do this more often, you all should as well, and post photos :-)

Everything's fun when you add ridiculous cameras ^_^

Now we wait for HeldDown's view from the same breakfast, and morning of shooting!

HeldDown

, my perspective/shots are in Cityscapes under "Scott and Geordan's Excellent Adventure." Only put up 4, and they're all citiyish, so they went there :P

Here's my response to Scott's photos: Let's see if I can match 'em up with my POV.

Unflattering picture of Scott eating:


Scott's Artistic Fruit:


The Lonely Cupcake


PIFs!



The Grate Sleeper:


Scott Shooting at Henry's


Togging the Tographer


Finally, a shot of the pizza box my roomate and I threw off the balcony 6 months ago -- five stories and 3 units down and over.

This one is so unbelievably cool! Like you mounted a camera on the head of another bird and took this picture during takeoff.

This one makes me sad. Great use of BW / color!

The shot with the muffin makes me hungry! :

Thank you andreas! For that first one, literally, we chased pidgeons around with the cameras reached as close to their tails with continuous on :gun2 . If only i'd remembered to turn off the manual exposure

The second one takes advantage of a neat quick feature in my photo-organizing software (picasa), which does a circular b&w. Luckily, against grey concrete, you can't see the halo of the B&W circle.
