Point and shoot camera on macro mode - weeds, mostly. I wasn't looking through the viewfinder or at the LCD for most of these. Point and shoot, literally.

Weeds
I completed my second afternoon of Riding Buses and once again, spent a lot of time waiting around. These were at the same corner as the chopper bike photos from the last time.

Bicycle Marathon
This weekend I participated in the Toronto Photography Marathon (TPM).
12 exposures, 12 themes, 24 hours. It's harder than it sounds.
I also decided to make use of the time and do some OT for work. So I was travelling all over the west side of the city looking for my TPM subjects (in order) as well as riding buses for work.
I took a point and shoot camera with me along with my 35mm SLR - and I spent a lot of time waiting for buses. Especially the 32 Eglinton Bus (I don't want to talk about it). I did a lot of this.
You notice a lot of interesting things when you're waiting on the side of the road, by yourself. All day. Things like elephants on walls, light streaming through things.. after looking through the images, I realized that I seemed to have a thing for bicycles and the sky this weekend. Specifically red bicycles.
The sky thing I always knew about - the bicycle thing, notso much.
Perhaps it's the engineer in me.
Engineer, meet photographer.

It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.

Look up, Way Up
I continue to be amazed by the amount of people, who, after looking at my sky photos can't believe that they were in the same place at the same time and "did not see that". Queen and Uni.
The second photo is at the distillery - another "hold the camera at waist level" and see what happens. A blind shot.
I'm on a Bus
I have to ride a lot of transit as part of my job. I like to call it "secret shopping". These photos were taken on one such weekend day - mostly on the 35 Jane Bus.
As you can tell - this route, mostly due to the low socio-economic standing of the people who use it.. does not get upgraded often. Hence the 1980's bus shelter I came across.
