Dumb founded… absolutely gorgeous!
Posted by Abraham at June 6, 2006 01:27 AMWow I love the sky in this shot, the clouds just pop out of the photo. Great depth in all of the shot considering its a distant city view. Amazing.
Posted by Andrew at June 6, 2006 01:47 AMWhy does the sky appear so dark? Although stunning it is very unrealistic
Posted by Hitesh Sawlani (hitkaiser) at June 6, 2006 02:00 AMbrilliant; i want such a lens too !
(and i don't seen any distortion..)
This is a very wonderful shot. The clouds on the skyy are great.
Posted by Frank at June 6, 2006 02:51 AMstunning. i love the clouds and the detail in the sky.
Posted by moses at June 6, 2006 03:16 AMSo beautiful scene of city. Wonderful sky with lovely clouds.
Posted by Pooriya at June 6, 2006 03:31 AMGreat view, cool shot!
Posted by Kris at June 6, 2006 03:37 AMwow, great sky, seriously :) wow
Posted by David at June 6, 2006 04:22 AMWow, that shot is just fantastic. Did you use a circular polariser, or other such lens?
Posted by woof82 at June 6, 2006 05:49 AMvery nice! can't wait to get a polarizer my self
Posted by Jesse at June 6, 2006 06:02 AMVery nice. You should post more like these (for example, western sky :)
Just one thing I don't understand. Streets of Toronto ALWAYS empty on your photos. No cars, no ppl. (ok, on this photo just one car)
For example - few days ago photo of cycling near Ocad's building on mcCaul street. Not a soul on the street. Do you photograph early in the morning, or what?
great overview
Very beautyful pictures ! Congratulations !
Posted by Pyxmalion at June 6, 2006 06:59 AMAmazing photo - really, best one I've seen today :)
Posted by futomaki at June 6, 2006 07:29 AMSimply Beautiful. I love how the clouds are so big and majestic.
Posted by Oliver at June 6, 2006 07:32 AMWow! Stunning view; gorgeous sky.
Posted by Laurie at June 6, 2006 07:48 AMWhat a photographer!
What an artist!
What a camera!
What picture! WOW!

Posted by aashish at June 6, 2006 07:57 AMNice overview of the city. Very sharp.
Posted by Robert at June 6, 2006 08:05 AMgorgeous! i see sam the record man. ah toronto... :o)
Posted by CET at June 6, 2006 08:09 AMAmazing photo! What is the secret?? :)
Custom lens? Computer enhancing?
Nice. Warm day, polariser, and some post work? In any case, looks like I need to spend more time in the city.
Posted by Michael at June 6, 2006 08:18 AMYou truly are the cool-cloud magnet.
Posted by Jeremy at June 6, 2006 08:46 AMNice cloud catch. Dramatic for sure. Polarizer helps a lot.
Posted by Hugh Petrie at June 6, 2006 08:58 AMToronto has perfect clouds, the right kind for crazy photographers! Love it!

Posted by Chris at June 6, 2006 09:31 AMgreat photo, i love the clouds.
Posted by brian at June 6, 2006 09:36 AMGreat shot...very layered feeling, those clouds just floating over the city like puffs of whipped cream...and the city looks like a minature setting...like a architectural model...gotta love those lenses.
Posted by Jessica at June 6, 2006 09:57 AMSuper nice. Amazing detail - I found myself staring at this for awhile. Nice shot!
Posted by Jonathan at June 6, 2006 10:02 AMWonderful skyscape!
Posted by Andy [fotopromenade] at June 6, 2006 10:09 AMYou even managed to make the Ryerson Library - where I work - look attractive. That's no easy feat.
Posted by brian at June 6, 2006 10:17 AMJust wanted to pop in and say I have enjoyed your blog for a long time now.
Also a request: Can you please post a larger version of this photo for wallpaper purposes? Thanx.

Posted by stefahie at June 6, 2006 10:29 AMSam.
Great shot. You're a cloud master. Do you mind sharing the technique (photoshop, settings, etc) that brings out the clouds so beautifully?
This proclaims that you have made it!

Posted by Ashkan at June 6, 2006 01:11 PMHi,
Great picture!! For some reason reminded me of http://wvs.topleftpixel.com/archives/photos_landscape/050901_1288.shtml . Had to go thru your archives to find it. I feel that the processing on this one is similar to today's photo. A tutorial always helps ;-)

Posted by François at June 6, 2006 02:42 PMVery nice clouds. Perfect ambient color
Posted by Manuel at June 6, 2006 04:23 PMThis is a very special block you've captured here today.
It's where I was in my early 20s.
It's where my world opened up.
It's where the rest of my life came from.
It's where I met my future husband.
It's where I went to school.
It's where my hubby went to school.
It's where my hubby also worked for many years.
It's where I took my first street photos.
Today - we are very far away from it.
Thanks Sam
Love the sky! Great work.
Posted by Ian at June 6, 2006 08:40 PMWow! Beautiful.. exposed perfectly..
Posted by Drew at June 6, 2006 08:43 PMTemptation eyes! Temptation clouds!
Posted by Harlequinpan at June 6, 2006 09:08 PMIn Southern California, we hardly ever get to see that far that clearly. Cool shot.
Posted by MarkDM at June 6, 2006 09:54 PMIncredible,`Great job!!!
Posted by Khashayar at June 6, 2006 11:16 PMThis is one of my favorite sites, I check it daily, and often visit it several times a day to look back at your pictures. They always make me smile.
I have a question about this shot- I'm not familiar with Toronto at all, and am wondering what is the tallest obelisk-looking structure in the back right of this picture? Is it a lighthouse? Thanks!
Amazing shot.
Posted by navin harish at June 7, 2006 05:03 AMNice shot. I'm actually working on the 3D Imax version of Superman Returns here in Toronto!
Posted by Bob Gundu at June 7, 2006 09:23 AMSam, you're the BEST!! Love the wallpaper!! Now I can have TO on my desktop :) Thanks, man.
Posted by A thinker at June 7, 2006 02:29 PMTrish, I believe that is the smokestack at the Ashbridges Bay Sewage Treatment Plant.
There's a popular beach right next to it!
Posted by Michael at June 7, 2006 02:56 PMAmazing Sam ,, always inspiring
Wish I had a view like that

Posted by John Piercy at June 7, 2006 04:33 PMMichael: Thank you! Reminds me of the beach next to San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant near San Diego, CA. :)
Posted by Trish at June 7, 2006 07:08 PMOh my...this is so wonderful!
