Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts

Now that my "Art of Night Photography" class is over, it's more difficult to actually take my tripod out and go take pictures...but the other night I was driving home from a friend's and drove past the opera house...and it was so pretty with the glass windows and lights from the inside, so I went and took photos of it last night! It is so pretty - especially the North side, which has pretty lights hanging from the ceiling.

Just make sure you have someone with you when you go out at night...my husband dropped me off, since he had to do some work, but I would have felt much better if someone was watching my back...I still like the way they turned out though

CNE

Last year I took day pictures of the CNE for my final assignment in Digital Photography I at GBC, and this year our instructor took us back there for our last field trip...that was before my laptop and all my pictures were stolen (always back up!), so I had to go back and retake the set...and these may have actually turned out a bit nicer. Cloudy skies do give for some interesting background, I was able to get some really great silhouette shots...

Stolen

My 3 month old laptop got stolen. From the front seat of our car (husband left it there, since he didn't think Beverly by Baldwin in Toronto was a part of town he had to worry about). We live in the city. This is what happens. But you never think it will happen to you.

Lost most of pictures that I've been shooting the last two months with my "Art of Night Photogrpaphy" class I've been taking at George Brown College. A little sad about that... but hopefully I've learned that I need to back up my pictures on a regular basis.

I took the "Photoshop Basics" one day course at GBC this weekend, and the instructor advised to stock up on external hard drives and save pictures to more than one drive. I wish I had done that.
