i love how u capture the sun and shadows in ur pics great work u rock at photography

Hi there, I look at your site most days and really enjoy it. I live on the southern coast of Australia, and I'm curious when you took this shot, because our imported desiduous trees have lost there leaves and it is the beginning of winter here, why does the trees in your photo have no new leaves yet. I thought it would be spring there now and they would have there new growth. Sue

nice compostition.i presume the shadow on the left is u?

it may not be what you meant but i strangely like the contrast and identicallity between the shiny window at the top left and your shadow at the right buttom. they are geometrically identical in the composition/frame and photographically in contrast (light and shadow) while both almost the same size (in the frame).
ps. is it trinity or tirinity, just wondering...

this is very nice, especially the shadow. looks like a university campus.

More shadows like that, it's new and refreshing, very unique! Lots of color to it too, if you can make another shot that focuses on this (with the same hues), that would be fantastic!

Nice shot but theres too much glare/brightness in many areas. Moooore of this neat "ghost" shadowing technique!

i love the color, and the reflection of the sun in the far window, and all the birds, and your shadow, and everything about this shot. nice capture.

Were these two pictures taken at the same time, or do you always get that fantastic light quality in Toronto?

Nice colours, i like how you can see your shadow in the picture too.

the photographs are great. came across them by accident...searching for imagery...(in literature) but of course found that the pictures posted were really poems! lovely. missed them during the last few days.

~I/eye completely dig your shadow in the lower left corner...~

Congrats, Sam, on the story in today's Toronto Star with one of your photos and a couple of quotes.

Estupenda toma.

Me gusta esa sutil sombra del fotógrafo sobre el cesped.

Enhorabuena!

I have just blogrolled you! What a fantastic photoblog - I just love Toronto and and love this site! I discovered some Island shots while perusing. Are you an Islander? If yes, or if you just like the Islands, please check out my site.

You got there at just the right time for the sun. Awesome shot Sam.

Dont like it. The bench, which is the center of attention, is overexposed. Needs more detail

Saw your profile in the Toronto Star. Came to the site. Love the imagery.

We'll Sam, I love the shot, the composition is excellent and the lighting is superb.
I would rather not have you in the bottom left corner as a shadow, (major pet peeve of mine) the viewers eye is drawn to it. I find it takes away from other foreground points of interest and background.
I bet this would be a nice fall photo with the golden leaves.
I love your site, and your wide variety of subject matter.
Keep em coming!

I was in that park the other evening and there was a noticeable absence of seagulls!

And Sue from Australia, our leaves are out in all their glory and it is about 28C here. This shot must have been from about a month and a half ago or so.

I like the tension between Sam's shadow and the glare of light on the upper right......it's like the light jumped out and left a hole behind.

You give us de-light, Sam! Thanks!

Congrats on the feature in the Star today, Sam. Well done!

now i will show you the man.

okay ... I'm confused ... the green grass says it's spring but the absence of leaves and the color hue leads me to believe it is fall '-)

Sam, congrats on the Toronto Star feature today.

nice pic...was this taken in fall

Just love your blog...
I like the line drawn by the path and the table !

Hey Sam,

Great article in the paper today!
I'm glad you and photoblogging in general is getting exposure!
There are a great deal of talented people out there and what you are doing for photoblogging is awesome! Way to go Sam!

Cheers!
Shawn.

Beautiful photograph and stunning as usual. I love the way you captured the lighting. I think your shadow really added a personal touch to it. It just seems so balanced

P.S. I thought I'd mention CONGRATULATIONS on your section of the Toronto Star today!! Keep it up!

you always keep me real. thanks so much...

this is cool buti would've left your shadow out of it.

Loved how the garden is basked with the warm rays...

The lighting here is wonderful -- you do these shots so well!

Hey Sam, someone asked a great question: Why no leaves on the trees?

Cool! That's my building! I live right below where that bit of sun is reflecting into the lens :)

Great pic -- I'm going to send it to all my friends abroad so they can see how pretty the 416 is.
