Neat image combo with Edward as the main and the smaller crowd still shown off in the pano.

"the world renowned photographer and one of my favourite image makers"

Sam, since the same statement could be said of you, I could not help but click the link provided as an introduction to Edward Burtynsky. As usual, your taste is superb. One distinction is that Burtynsky appears to shoot non-digital 4x5. His compositions of urban landscapes are simultaneously beautiful and telling -- of destruction, displacement, isolation, and industrialization. Each image speaks volumes while maintaining the consistent environmental theme. I see how he can be an inspiration to any photographer and what a privilege it must have been to meet him.

You made a wonderful image of him and it is quite flattering. Very nice.

Hi Sam, I wonder what software you use for stitching the images, like the 'panorama' in today's post. I did try some things with Canon software I got with my Powershot S70 but it gives rather bad results. More powerful software seems to be expensive ánd complicated. Any advise from you?
Great shots as always btw. Regards,

I love Edward Burtynsky's composition. You're pretty good...

Crisp. Looks like a hair salon ad.

This is a nice portrait. You made good use of lighting and your perspective behind the videographer is a good one. I like the wide shot below as well. It's amazing how celebrated photography is in Toronto!
