Some fantastic photos posted here, and Wroclaw`s architecture is absolutely stunning.

I just got my new Nikon D3100 this morning, with a Nikkor AF-S 18-105mm VR lens, and am slowly learning what everything does.

Only had a chance to take a couple shots out the window as I was reading through the manual and tinkering with the various settings before it started snowing quite heavily, trapping me indoors, but here are a couple of the somewhat more decent photos, in all their craptastic splendour (as well as some even worse night shots that I just took a few moments ago, without a tripod):

1) Looking more or less south along Church street, we have the townhomes along McGill st in the foreground, Ryerson University`s Kerr Hall in the middle, and Sp!re condos in the distance (the beautiful, tall glass building), as well as the absolutely hideous Campus Commons building (the multicoloured red, orange and white monstrosity), to the left of which is the much more beautiful Merchandise Building, now converted to lofts:

l

2) More or less the same view, albeit zoomed in on Sp!re:



3 And again, in black and white:



4) CN tower poking out in the background:



5) Night shot of Granby street, in colour outline:



6) Original Granby st, photo:



7) Night shot of Kerr hall:



8) And again:




The first 4 photos were all shot at a shutter speed of 1/125s, with an aperture size of f5.6 (except the CN Tower photo, at 5.3), and ISO of 100.

Started to play a bit more with thhe settings while taking the night photos, with the Granby photo (no. 6) shot at 1/13s, f 7.1 and ISO 3200, the first Kerr Hall photo (no. 7) at 1/8s, f5.6, iso 1600, and the second Kerr Hall photo (no. 8) at at 5s, f20, iso 1600.

I`ll hopefully have some much better photos to post from around Toronto in the (not too distant) future, but until than, I`d appreciate any advice and criticism

And yes, I totally need to get a tripod.

A couple more photos from last night:









And I braved the cold this afternoon to shoot these:

1) The "Flow Blue" walkway under the Met condos, designed by Marlene Hilton Moore, providing pedestrian access between Carlton and Granby streets:


2) The view down McGill Street:



3) The arch between McGill and Yonge Street, the only remainder of a former St. Andrew's United Church that was located a couple blocks to the north of it's current home:


4) Dundas Square, looking south:


5) The Yonge-Dundas pedestrian scramble:

6) Streetcar on Dundas:


7) Looking to the south, along Yonge street:


8) Busy day at the Eaton Centre:


9) The mall's domestic Canadian geese population:


10) Alternatively known as "Flightstop," by Michael Snow:


11) The Bay's (department store chain, kind of like Canada's equivalent of Macey's) flagship location, on the southwest corner of Queen and Yonge streets:


12) And the Queen station subway entrance beneath the Bay:


13) Old City Hall:


14) And new City Hall, with parts of Nathan Phillips Square in front currently undergoing renovations:


15) the Church of the Holy Trinity, at Trinity Square:


And I've also got a couple more photos up on on my flickr photostream.
