Flar, the consistent goodness of your pictures across posts is something else. Do you shoot only at certain times or conditions? ie, overcast? What equipment are you using?

Great set.
Makes me wonder, why don't we build houses and neighbourhoods like this anymore?

I agree... everytime he posts a new picture set, I fall in love with that area and want to move there.

Stunning tour. I'm also interested in how you achieve those great photos.

fire regulations? (massive fire trucks)
suburban parking standards/requirements
dislike of one-way residential streets and on-street parking
siding is cheaper than brick
just throwing some ideas out there

The formula: For neighbourhood tours, I like overcast. If it's sunny you have trouble with shadows hiding detail and backlit houses. For convenience, I use the cloudy white balance and shoot jpegs. Cloudy makes brick look too orange but most people seem to find the colour pleasing enough. This makes the photos look uniform, like a set, which I want. I look for good angles and shoot the houses as wide as possible then crop them tight, this helps minimize perspective distortion. I also use lens correction to fix the barrel distortion from lens and sometimes further perspective correction and straightening. Sometimes I used stitched images as well, in urban settings it can be difficult to get entire buildings in the frame. My equipment is the Nikon D50 with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens. The lens isn't great, but does the trick for now. Processing is done with GIMP (some individually, some in batch mode) and photo stiching with Hugin.

Good CABBAGETOWN pics!
Flar: Good CABBAGETOWN pics and tour! I want to mention these observations from these pics:
Peaked roofs are common like #4 and 6 and many others pictured.
#7-Small street-where?
#8-Reminds me of SE Pennsylvania "Twins" house type where two small houses share a common building.
#36-Interesting corner building-Where?
#37-Only in Canada will you see a sign like that...
#64-Rowhouses similar to Philadelphia or Baltimore (The white stone-front house in the center) Where are these? Alpha Avenue and ?
I really like the brick and stone old style construction-made to last!!

Which street is in this image? I absolutely love the row and old cobblestone, I wish more streets still retained their red brick paving.
