These guys were a blast! We had so much fun, and they made taking their pictures easy! First we went to <a href="http://patonphotography.blogspot.com/2010/04/spencer-gorge-websters-falls.html">Webster's Falls in Spencer Gorge</a> for the bulk of the session - the hot bright sun made for some challenges, but we got through ok!<br />

Like beach volleyball, or sailing, or hockey, or ride his motorcycle. Also, taking random pictures. He also has that picture itch...<br />
<br />
(You know, that one thing that you see all the time and every time you see it you think to yourself, "One day I will have my camera and tripod and just the right light and I will shoot this elusive object. One day." And yet you still see said object on a semi-regular basis and <i>never have your camera.</i> And when you are planning to spend an afternoon shooting, you still don't think to yourself, "I should go shoot that thing already," you head for a <a href="http://patonphotography.blogspot.com/2010/04/spencer-gorge-websters-falls.html">waterfall</a>, or a <a href="http://patonphotography.blogspot.com/2010/03/factory-shoot.html">factory</a>, or your <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lizpaton/4324469572/">livingroom</a> instead. I have lots of these, and yet I never shoot them.)<br />
<br />
Anyways, Greg's picture itch is for a sticker-ed and graffiti-ed condom machine and matching hand dryer in a basement of a bar in Toronto. He wants to blow these up and hang them as art in a funky modern bathroom. I love the idea! Unfortunately, it is the men's room, so only Jeff and Greg can participate, while I hang out outside looking lost and perhaps a little strange. (Who hangs out outside the men's room in a bar in the middle of the afternoon on a Saturday?)<br />
<br />
Long story short, the shots of the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lizpaton/sets/72157623814256267/">condom machine and hand dryer</a> in question came out pretty neat. Here's the processing that Jeff and I like the most:<br />

We started with an easy one: <a href="http://www.cityofwaterfalls.ca/?page_id=327">Webster's Falls in Spencer Gorge</a> in Dundas. <br />
<br />
So, here are a few shots. Once again, Jeff got some amazing HDR. Sunset+Waterfall=Good Times!<br />

Shot for an assignment in our photography class: 30 images that tell something about you. I like candy! I think the last one, with me grabbing a green Smartie will be the one that makes the cut.Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15702879795994063521noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3918532975808904742.post-30199306836330399702010-01-29T18:28:00.001-05:002010-01-29T18:28:44.728-05:00TOTALLY RANDOMSo this is totally random and not related at all to photography, but too fun not to share. <br />
<br />
This morning, on my semi-daily-ish run through the drive-thru at Tim Hortons, I hit the window to collect my yummy coffee and pay my cash, and the sweet French lady who is always working the drive-thru window points to the car that is just pulling away in front of me and says "He paid for your order - have a great day!" Well, at that point, how can I not? The craziest part is, this is the second time this has happened to me in as many months! Pay it forward, anyone?<br />
<br />
I can't help but smile at the random kindness of strangers.Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15702879795994063521noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3918532975808904742.post-27062763390095655712010-01-01T18:24:00.001-05:002010-01-01T18:24:51.973-05:00OSLO, NORWAYThe first shots from our afternoon in <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lizpaton/sets/72157622545745706/detail/">Oslo, Norway</a> are up on Flickr.

<br />
Stockholm is an amazing city sprawling over about 14 islands and rich in architecture and history. I only had my camera for about half the day on our first day in port, and the full day on our second day, so my pictures are a bit limited. Jeff's camera has the shots from the football (soccer) game and our tour of the Globen arena. I'll get to posting those eventually. (Also, apparently my photo uploader crashed partway through the upload, and I haven't had a chance to get back to it...)<br />
<br />
Stockholm is reached by cruise ship through the Stockholm Archipelago, which extends about 60km east from Stockholm. We sailed through the most fantastic landscapes of water, rock, tree and sky, a few rain showers, and amazing homes perched on shores and cliffs.<br />
<br />
I have posted my photos from Stockholm to <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lizpaton/sets/72157623095138430/detail/">Flickr </a>- go check them out! More to come soon!<br />
<br />
Here's a few shots from our two days in Sweden:<br />

(Enough excuses!) <br />
<br />
We have updated Flickr with more travel pictures from our epic cruise this past summer in northern Europe; specifically, my shots from Tallinn, Estonia.<br />
<br />
Going through these pictures made me come to the revelation (perhaps not a final conclusion, but realization none-the-less) that I loved Tallinn, that it is currently sticking in my memory as my favourite port of call, and that I would go back there in a heartbeat. Sure, we only saw the old, touristy, medieval part of town, but it had such charm, character and history that you just want to sit and soak it up! Which is really what we did in Tallinn... We went armed with a map and directions for a walking tour with the intention of wandering and getting lost and having fun! We did just that, and discovered a beautiful surprise in Tallinn.<br />
<br />
We were lucky enough to have Tallinn as an early port of call, and so we hit the city before many of the touristy places had even opened, so we had the old town pretty much to ourselves for a couple of hours. It was peaceful and quiet and lovely, great for pictures (no people!) and Jeff got some great shots for his <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lizpaton/sets/72157622662179255/">HDR</a> processing. <br />
