lighthouse at Toronto outer harbour

Two views of the light house at the Toronto outer harbour.

Took these last fall using a D70s and 12-24mm (had just got the lens and was trying it out). It was a stormy day, with rapidly changing light, which made the clouds challenging but loads of fun.

 

Thanks Sandi, yes you are right about the location on the Leslie spit. I knew you would recognize it  

The sky does come out somewhat pixelated in the first shot, not so bad in the original (more smooth), the jpeg compression seems to be exaggerating it.

 

Good idea. They are certainly gritty to begin with, some additional grain can only help. I'll experiment with that.

True   there is that prison-looking fence around it, must be to keep the troublesome kids away...

Thanks!

 

No kidding, that has happened to me several times. Last fall was the first time I ever ventured onto the spit (had just got a DSLR and was looking for some different scenery), and I got caught in a hailstorm. I was just on foot, and had no other transportation so I had to run into a porta-poty for shelter :biggrin: But I got some good photos of storm clouds over the financial district (I'll post those in the future)
