Seeing as a few other photographers have created a thread for their own photos I though I would do the same.

I live just down the 401 in Kitchener so I don't have the opportunity to photograph the city as often as I would like. When I do get the chance, I try to pack as much onto my memory cards as possible in the single day trips I make to Toronto.

I tend to shoot skyline, architectural, long exposure, and city life/street photography

I'll start by adding a large batch of photos that I've taken since I first started photographing the city in June 2012.

In the future I will continue to update this thread with more and more photos as I process them.

Any comments, questions, suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Some of my shots may come off as a being a bit touristy to some but I try to see the city in my own way and I hope you enjoy an outsiders take on Toronto! :)

Matt: EXCELLENT group of pictures - You have a good eye and have caught Toronto in all of it glory here...

One thing that I will add is that Flar - one of the biggest contributors to the Toronto photos section - would number his
pictures in order top to bottom and for me it made it easier to comment on them and remember and/or find them...
The captions that each one has certainly helps...

I - and many other UT members - will welcome more pictures from you when you post them...LI MIKE

Love the photos Matt! Also loved seeing your shot Cool Nights in this months Blueprint! When I first saw it I knew I recognized it from somewhere, took me a few minutes to realize it was from here.
 
Great shots, gives the city a mystical look. I love it!

Thanks!

Matt what equipment are you using? Lens,camera?

I have a Canon 60D, 17-40mm f4, 70-200mm f4, and a 50mm 1.8. I also use a Gorillapod Focus for most of my night shots.

Thanks MrSocky! I can't believe you put things together like that since this is the last place I would think someone would mention Blueprint!! Do you live in KW, or do you get it online?
