Toronto Metro Zoo




This weekend I went to the Toronto Metro Zoo with some of my fellow photographers. It was a great day warm and there are many animals that we saw. I realized that the next time I am going to the Zoo that I should bring paper towels and some windex. It is difficult to take some pictures through the glass when there are hands and dirt all over them. I think that the reason is there are many children and adults that love to touch the glass. There are a few things that I have scene today that I am a little worried about. The new tundra area of the park have a fence that kind of looks like a maximum security jail for Army personel. I am worried that the zoo is starting to build things that would prevent people from photographing the beauties that the animals have to offer. Maybe I am a little complainer but those are my thoughts.

Toronto international Airshow






This weekend I went out to the Toronto Airshow and took about 2000 pictures of airplanes flying overhead. There were about 300 of those pictures that can be used. The day was a little bit of a challenge as the sun was shinning bright on the water and the smoke that the planes use in there demonstration causes a little haze. I learned this weekend that taking pictures when the sky is blue is better then when the shine of the sun is on the water causing it to wash out all of the pictures.

Here are a few of my favorite shots.
