Whenever I forget to change my ISO, I burn a little hair off the back of my fingers. Pain is a good reminder. Anyways, nice shot ... those clouds look nice.

although ur iso was off for your taste, i still enjoyed the end result. the white guard rail looking structure looks like just that. the overhanging structure makes the rest of the structures look a lot smaller. i like the view through the center of the shot though. i'm sure u have the shot exactly squared up, as you always do, though all the slight angles in the shot make for a very interesting piece. in short...i like.

this is a great shot !
would crop the clouds on the right, but then it's perfect

عکسهایی که می گیرین فوق العاده هستند. تبریک می گم بابت این هنر ارزشمند.

that's awesome! the sky... the lines... the shapes...
not what I was expecting; I like it!

Oh the number of times I've been shooting in a high ISO because I've forgetten to change the settings (same goes for JPG/RAW formats)...
Nice pic, the cloud is framed nicely.

Glad to hear my favorite photographer makes the same mistakes as I! XD One of my favorite photos was shot at 1600 by mistake. yielded similar results to this. Mistakes can be sometimes fun tho. Can't wait to see england!

very very graphic !! i love it !!!!!!!!

Welcome Back. I hope you had a great time in England. For a mistake it is a fantastic picture the contrast is amazing. It leaps off the screen at you.

Don't be so harsh on yourself - this picture works for me. If only I could take pictures as good as your bad ones! :-)

That really is an interesting shaped building, and that way the archway frames the iamge, and the wall leads you into the picture is impressive as well.

As a UK resident, I look forward to seeing what you made of our green and pleasant land.

Wow, the color of the blue and grey in this image is awesome!

Excellent picture. How did you process that?

I read your site in a narrowish newsreader window, and noticed today's shot looks even better if you crop out the visible sky on the far right. Makes it looks like the sky and white building are actually inside the foreground structure, giving a really creepy surreal effect.

sam i like todays photo, the color of the sky contrasts the darker shaded are, and the strip that was not cropped on the right is also a interesting focal point. i almost wanted to crop it out, buts its much better with it, Kudos

awesome awesome awesome

Nice work on this one.

i love your architecture shots (being an architecture student, myself) it's great how you can take a really ugly building and make it beautiful.

I love the contrast of the sky, and the blue tones. Did you alter it?

And, i definitely would LOVE to have this available as wallpaper.
Congratulations, you keep on surprising us every day.

wow, cool one!!!
how do you make those clouds look so good everytime????

It's a good shot anyway, despite mistakenly leaving the iso at 800.

I gotta start by saying that your photography is breathtaking. Really, really inspiring stuff.

Just a quick note about ISPs: Magma is highly recommended[1]. I have to say, for your sanity and piece of mind you might want to avoid Bell if you can at all help it. Magma's tech support is leagues beyond anyone else's. They actually call back when there's progress on a trouble ticket; something no other company does. Connection is fast and stable, and they have service to the GTA.

Absolutely zero affiliation with Magma, just damn happy.

nice shot. think you darkened the cloud too much though. it kind of takes away from the building because its so oppressive. otherwise i think the composition is great!

usually i don't like this kind of shot, but in this case i have to say that is simply beautifull!!!

It looks kind of futuristic, reminds me of the film Gattaca.

hi Sam; welcome back to toronto! heh! so please answer my latest e-mail which i've sent to your hotmailmailbox i think wamtimes [at] hotmail [dot] com

Bell Sympatico had a worker's strike and it took me 3 weeks to switch from Rogers to them, but it's well worth the switch as Rogers isn't as competative compared to Sympatico (in terms of transfer speeds and bandwidth limits)

Also, I'm glad to see colour in your pictures again :) The black and whites made their impact long enough.

i love this picture! something about the mix of nature and man-made-architecture...

Almost looks computer generated! Wonderful.

One thing about the iso 800 is that it guaranteed deep depth of field - SHARP which looks good to me. And you sure don't get camera shake showing - not tht I have in your work.

It's interesting to see the shot in 800 iso though for it doesn't show noise like I would expect even with the Canon - judging from the dpreview review on the web.

Quite dramatic shot, but not too exciting. Guess you were doing the tourist thing in my home town.

nice crisp shot. i like all the cloud shots youve taken during this summer. great contrast. keep up the good work.

I had to look at it a couple times but now I like it. I agree about cropping the clouds on the right, but don't change it now!

Nice shot I think your previous commenters were right about cropping thre right side.
I'd like to see a whole set of your pics just of one building, you have a great eye for architecture.
Looking forward to your England pic's

I almost shed a tear yesterday when the site was down, but today (Wed) I hit "day before" and was very pleasantly surprised to find such an exquisite shot!
I really love the framing from the building, the lighting looks unreal too.
Great capture.

Hey, the ISO mistake dont change the fact that the motive was great!!! Well done!

Why Bell ? Want Hell ?

Leaving a bad ISP for another bad ISP is insane :-)

I'm with Magma, migrated from Wiznet, and I have no issue whatsoever. They even did kick Bell's ass to have my connection setup ASAP because Bell messed up in moving my land line when I moved.

I enjoy framed shots like this. This one is particularly interesting to me. The clouds seem to go on forever, and the contrast between them and the deep blue sky work so well. The builfing/columns in the forground add even more depth and dimension. fantastic!

I wouldn't change a thing. It serves as a reminder that sometimes we freak out too much about too-high ISO's. This is an excellent image.

This building reminds me of the Canadian Embassy in Washington, where my parents inexplicably choose to live in retirement. I've love to see a bit of our country through your lens. Until then, I'll settle for Canada and England!

Your photos have inspired me to become a photographer....also, maybe, to move to Canada. We don't have clouds like that in Texas.

I wouldnt have guessed this is ISO 800 if not for your note, the noise levels are quite low. Aside from that, I love the clouds framed by the building and the colors, nice work.
