Travelling

The first snowstorm of the season, looking south from Spadina Circle to College Street.

I'm revisiting my Spadina Avenue project from June of 2005 for the 2007 Photographer of the Year contest at Fourthirdsphoto.com. This is the first of the new images that I'm considering using.

Big Wheel

A handheld shot from the first snowfall of the season.

iso3200, 1/2s, f/4, 7mm, straight from the camera.
Shot using "live view" LCD finder, pivoted upwards, while the camera was resting on my boot.

I have broken the links to hundreds and hundreds of photos, which will take a long time to repair. The workaround is to replace "photo.matthewpiers" in the link URL with "matthewpiers.smugmug". Awkward, but only temporary.

This is happening because I have revamped matthewpiers dot com. More of what I write and photograph will be going there, so check it out as well.
