Absolutely stunning. Seriously Toronto tourist board should sign you up asap. Every day I am impressed by your pictures and vow to visit Canada.
Well done.

Posted by umar at September 6, 2006 02:55 AM

wow !! what a breath taking photo. I wish you could tell us more about this one. any photoshop job on this one? this is damn good.

Posted by Farhood at September 6, 2006 02:56 AM

Gorgeous Sam, the CN Tower is so hard to take pictures of without them looking touristy... this just looks damn good!

Posted by Brad at September 6, 2006 03:08 AM

wow.. great!

Posted by Susie at September 6, 2006 03:11 AM

Posted by stephen hubbard at September 6, 2006 03:27 AM

Wow, very nice shot.

Posted by Frank at September 6, 2006 03:28 AM

rare is a word which is not at all rare for SAM. its great piece of work. just awesome. i guess the best shot recently taken by you. could you oblige us by giving a wallpaper version of the same. its just WOW.

No one can never see CN Tower so much beautified with the Moon hiding back the clouds..... i just love this shot... speechless...

Posted by shikher at September 6, 2006 03:46 AM


Beautiful. Very much.

Posted by Mohsen Samakar at September 6, 2006 03:49 AM

Hey hey, beautifull "CN tower" Toronto at night, what a dream...

Posted by herwann at September 6, 2006 03:53 AM

amazing, as if you can taste the thick swirling air

Posted by hvm at September 6, 2006 04:03 AM

Very dark-impressive shot!

Posted by Fotosensibile at September 6, 2006 04:04 AM

It had been a while since my jaw dropped in the first few milliseconds after an image loaded. But this one did the trick. I guess that means i like it!

Posted by steefje at September 6, 2006 04:06 AM

The clouds, the lightning of the tower, the moon and the composition: breathtaking!

Posted by Conny at September 6, 2006 04:36 AM

this is an amazing picture...awesome...looks eerie

Posted by shrini at September 6, 2006 04:37 AM

stunning.

Posted by beth at September 6, 2006 05:40 AM

Great picture, it looks very spooky but cool :)

Posted by Henrik Hansen at September 6, 2006 05:45 AM

Astonishing shot mate. I don't belive anybody had done such a shot so far.
By the way, how close to the ground you were 'WALKING' home last night? It doesn't seem quite close ;^)
Keep the faith.

Posted by Payam at September 6, 2006 05:46 AM

Wow! This has to be one of my favorites, it's stunning!

Posted by Laurie at September 6, 2006 05:46 AM

Beautiful shot Sam.

Posted by Justin Blanton at September 6, 2006 06:29 AM

Ooohh very nice!

Reminds me of Sin City

Posted by Hitesh Sawlan at September 6, 2006 06:32 AM

There is something about this picture, wow this picture is amazing, WOW Sam!!!

Posted by J. Arturo at September 6, 2006 06:45 AM

the red ring on the cn tower reminds me of canon L lenses :)

Posted by Hans Botje at September 6, 2006 06:57 AM

I never had my tripod with me when I wanted it, great shot.

Posted by Parallax1 at September 6, 2006 07:07 AM

Is the data 81mm correct?

Posted by Maran at September 6, 2006 07:17 AM

Great shot. Nice to wake up to. Know what you mean about tripods - if I have mine with me, I don't seem to need it, but when I need it - that's when I left it home.

Posted by Kent at September 6, 2006 07:23 AM

just incredible; surreal. I really, really like this one.

Posted by Ethan at September 6, 2006 07:31 AM

Beautiful!!

Posted by Nate at September 6, 2006 07:57 AM

Sam, you've used your tripod like a painter's easel. This one is a work of art.

Posted by Bill at September 6, 2006 08:01 AM

Ohhhhh WOW

One of the best, one of the best

Posted by Oliver at September 6, 2006 08:05 AM

awesome shot, with this light.

Posted by Chantal at September 6, 2006 08:07 AM

Extraordinary photo one of the best ones than I have seen last. Slight liking the one to take the tripod above. Greetings:

Posted by txirloro at September 6, 2006 08:26 AM

nice shot!

Posted by Ali at September 6, 2006 08:47 AM

Wow! That's spectacular Sam!

Posted by Tom at September 6, 2006 08:54 AM

Excellent use of darkness, comrade.:)

Posted by Leo Petr at September 6, 2006 09:20 AM

very nice night view...:)
i like it. sometimes i take some photos about the moon...:) but poor skills i have...:D

Posted by jing at September 6, 2006 09:29 AM

you've done what I was thought impossible...make the CN Tower sexy

Posted by Dave at September 6, 2006 10:04 AM

Woah! Sam, very nice. Very Batmanesque, or maybe sci-fi, like War-of-the-Worldsish. The black, and darkness/shadows with just a bit of red make it an awesome pic. Very fresh.

Posted by BrotherAli at September 6, 2006 10:07 AM

You sure that isn't a flying saucer?

Posted by Hugh Petrie at September 6, 2006 10:16 AM

Shadow and highlights?

Posted by Matt Gallisdorfer at September 6, 2006 10:23 AM

egads, amazing shot. Almost creepy, but in a good way!

Posted by Kyle at September 6, 2006 10:39 AM

What can I add, except well done!!!

Posted by John at September 6, 2006 10:40 AM

woooah....nice.

Posted by Susan Jones at September 6, 2006 10:44 AM

Ahhh.....I was admiring that very angle of the moon and tower last night (except I was at King and John, not Queen and Peter). Thank you for capturing it so gloriously! Beauteous, Sam!

Posted by Kathy at September 6, 2006 10:49 AM

Another gorgeous capture Sam!!
It must have been very late, as I went to bed at 10:30 and the "Wagnerian" moon was still quite east of the tower.

Posted by Henry at September 6, 2006 10:49 AM

That is one spooky shot, awesome.

Posted by Nick at September 6, 2006 10:56 AM

Wow it's unbelievable !

Posted by Harlequinpan at September 6, 2006 11:23 AM

Wonderful picture Sam. Since the forum is locked down, what do you mean by P@-0.2. I understand P as in Program mode, but not the rest of it. I've noticed this in a few pics you've posted recently.

Posted by Carl B. Constantine at September 6, 2006 11:27 AM

nice pictures !!! do u use photoshop or something or is it naturally this way?
best regards

Posted by gabrielf at September 6, 2006 12:10 PM

wow!

Posted by shula at September 6, 2006 01:25 PM

That's a truly awesome shot.

Posted by Mad William Flint at September 6, 2006 01:43 PM

I was driving home last night, and I saw the moon. It was beautiful and I wanted to take a picture... but unfortunately I was driving so I didn't have the chance. I'm glad you did!

Posted by Rachel at September 6, 2006 01:43 PM

Sam, once again, u see art everywhere you go. That's an amazing scene. Thanks.

Posted by Davidf at September 6, 2006 01:51 PM

Beautiful shot, the lighting and details are superb.

Posted by Craig Wilson at September 6, 2006 01:53 PM

Just stunning!

Posted by Ashley at September 6, 2006 02:06 PM

Love it !!

Posted by Steve at September 6, 2006 02:49 PM

when i open this page, i just went like "WWWWOOOOOWWWWWW"
And i just don't know what to add, really, WWWWOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!

Thanks sam.

Posted by nicolas at September 6, 2006 03:02 PM

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!

Posted by Jack at September 6, 2006 03:19 PM

this definetly screams "WALLPAPER!" Can't you hear it? :) btw, congrats on the sponsoring. No pop-ups or other things, discreet, that is nice. And very appropriate given the content of your page. In fact I was looking for a digital camera, as I will be travelling soon. So double thanks!

Posted by selam at September 6, 2006 03:24 PM

Great shot!! The way the CN Tower is lit you can tell that the bottom ring is made of canvas.

Fantastic shot.

Posted by OverBurN at September 6, 2006 03:25 PM

This is just an awsome picture! Keep up the good work.

Posted by Johan at September 6, 2006 03:36 PM

Very cool. I saw the moon last night too, it was really big. But when I got home to get the tripod a huge cloud took the moon.

Posted by Andrew at September 6, 2006 03:43 PM

nothing to say which hasn't already been said, except bravo! Sam.

Posted by Mark Ellis at September 6, 2006 04:02 PM

Wonderful picture! I only with the moon is a little higher, around 1/3 of the frame. To me it looks just a bit off balance

Posted by twisted dna at September 6, 2006 04:05 PM

Absolutely stunning !!!

Posted by harrysoms at September 6, 2006 04:18 PM

Outstanding!

Posted by Alisa Walton at September 6, 2006 04:53 PM

you don't know me. im from chile (latin america) and i love your photos. every day I enter in to your blog for a "dose of imagery" and you always keep me in shock with your espectacular photos.
really, congratulations.

Posted by coni at September 6, 2006 05:01 PM

wow... absolutely magnificent light

Posted by Lama at September 6, 2006 05:20 PM

Wow that's really wonderful exposure!

Posted by PlasticTV at September 6, 2006 05:29 PM

The best photo I've seen of CN tower.

Posted by Ninjaess at September 6, 2006 06:55 PM

gorgeous!!
amazing composition... masterly done.

Posted by Rui at September 6, 2006 07:04 PM

WOW amazing shot! the moon and clouds with the cn tower are just breath taking at night!!!!

Posted by Dave B at September 6, 2006 07:20 PM

Masterfully done, indeed. The tower almost looks like a minaret...

Posted by September 6, 2006 at September 6, 2006 08:55 PM

Sometimes a good image is a matter of being at the right place at the right time with camera and tripod.

Posted by Nick at September 6, 2006 09:13 PM

absolutely amazing, its just extraordinary!

Posted by athen crete at September 6, 2006 09:29 PM

Nice shot.....You have to keep an eye out for werewolves with one eye while checking through the camera with the other. It would be for me in fact more likely that I was actually attacked by a werewolf than me just happen to have my tripod with me at the vital moment. Still.........what can I say...... great shot bro....yeah.........you know its weird ....... I used to be a werewolf but Im alright...... Noooooooooooooooooooooow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by Stefanie at September 6, 2006 09:59 PM

Jaw on the floor, Sam. Jaw... on... the... floor.

Posted by John Zeweniuk at September 7, 2006 12:48 AM

Posted by richa at September 7, 2006 01:16 AM

Posted by navin harish at September 7, 2006 02:25 AM

Posted by amun at September 7, 2006 10:11 AM

You have really helped to make me appreciate Toronto's beauty. It's not always obvious, but it truly does have some beautiful scenes.

Posted by Joyce at September 7, 2006 11:31 AM

Stunning... seems straight out of a sci fi flick

Posted by Rahul at September 9, 2006 12:24 AM

wonderful! really moody with the texture in the clouds.

Posted by Rob at September 9, 2006 01:35 AM

Holy Mordor, Batman! You've captured the mystery of the tower in near full moon cloudscaped glory! Kudos,
-Kim

Posted by Kim at September 9, 2006 02:17 AM

Wow, great shot!!!
The tones are amazing!

Posted by Rich at September 9, 2006 12:56 PM

Lucky indeed that you had your tripod. Nice one!

Posted by kristarella at September 10, 2006 07:15 AM

Wow. You are really good, as if you haven't heard that enough already. Besides, what's a little flattery?

Posted by hollandchase at September 11, 2006 10:51 AM

a wonderful image. very lucky you had the tripid indeed! love the lighting, and the detail in the clouds brought out by the light of the moon. fantastic.

Posted by kettlepot at September 14, 2006 10:44 PM

Terrific shot. From my experience the full moon is blazingly brighter than anything else at night, so to get the cloud subtly showing in front of it, and the lights of the tower, all at similar brightness, I presume this is two difference bracketed exposures merged in photoshop. No ?
