Good shot, but again, ruined by it's size. Don't make us scroll.
Posted by alex at December 22, 2004 01:43 AMJust wanted to say that I really like your site. You take great pictures.
What do you do to get them so sharp? Are they all on a tripod? Is there some kind of Photoshop magic?
Posted by paul at December 22, 2004 02:06 AMMagical!
It's fun how the lit glass blocks in the floor appear to be a bizarre, measured reflection of the ethereal lights above it. Every time I'm in BCE Place, I pause to appreciate the architect and his work. LOVE that soaring ceiling!
And how serendiptitous that the man walking his dog in yesterday's photograph would have a site of his own photos of the W.C. Harris Filtration Plant!!! Thank you to Jim Tulk for the interesting info and pics!
And thank you again to Sam for sharing what you find and see!
Posted by Kathy at December 22, 2004 02:23 AMNice catch. Specially because there are no people in the shot (okay, some in the back).
I didn't know the kit-lens was able to produce a wide-angle like this! Very nice.
Posted by Jasper at December 22, 2004 03:00 AMbeautiful picture but theres a lil bit of noise (especially on the floor and walls. Did you have to use a faster shutterspeed so the lights wouldnt blurr? I love the subject matter. Its fun to scroll down and follow the lights.

Posted by adam at December 22, 2004 04:32 AMwoah! awsome shot. great exposure.
Posted by nathan at December 22, 2004 04:36 AMWOW man this is beautiful, how long in this light?
it's not a bad idea to write the equipments you use for each photo somewhere beneath the photo!
Posted by Hadjar at December 22, 2004 04:58 AMWow! I'm falling again. This time backwards while following the light beams upwards ... Magnificent lights. Excellent composition.
Posted by crex at December 22, 2004 06:26 AMGreat shot. Best atria in Toronto.
Posted by Zak at December 22, 2004 08:06 AMimo this shot doesn't quite work in black and white. I think it could be a great deal more interesting in colour.

I really like how you framed the shot.
Very cool. That's a lot of lights!
Posted by miklos at December 22, 2004 09:01 AMBeautiful! Almost to large to appreciate.
Posted by designguy at December 22, 2004 09:11 AMNice photo Sam, been meaning to go out and shoot various Holiday lights around the city, but I've been either short on time, or it's been way too cold outside.
Posted by photojunkie at December 22, 2004 09:23 AMAs a glazer that worked @ the bce place during its construction. I can tell you this pic brings back all those painfull memories of installing, fitting, cutting and crying.
Posted by Drake at December 22, 2004 09:23 AMvery well taken. shows the grandness of the place and christmas lights.

Posted by miles at December 22, 2004 12:25 PMwhy dont you reply to the questions posted here by diff people? it wont take much time of yours, i come to the site everyday and sometimes have questions about the pics, but no point writing that if you wont answer.
Posted by rohit at December 22, 2004 12:37 PMbeautiful. Everything in the shot seems to be connected to the chandelier, the support beams/triangular windows at the end of the corrider.. Love it.

Posted by Benny at December 22, 2004 05:03 PM*** WOW *** :)
Posted by Lynn R. at December 22, 2004 05:32 PMGreat shot man. Please accept my loud applause for this. And I think the size is great cause it just goes on forever.
Nice stuff. Your vision is one of the things I look forward to everyday.
I notice some people complaining about scrolling. I find that by right clicking on the image and selecting view image, I see the lot. But I like this one bigger.
Cheers,
