Toronto Distillery

[LuckyRobJ]

Here is a shot taken of some valves on an old fire pump at Toronto's distillery district. Yes, a fairly mundane subject, but I like old machinery for some reason. The shot was taken with my 50/f1.8.

C&C always appreciated.

The distillery district is a fantastic area for photographers as it has a lot of very old and run-down industrial buildings. As well, it's experiencing a renaissance--it's being turned into an art community and currently has some fantastic galleries and shops.

It's quite a popular place for photogs in the Toronto area, so I'm curious as to what others have shot from here.

Does anyone feel like sharing their favorite Distillery shots?

Cheers,
-Rob

Nice shot and B&W suits it very well.

I haven't shot at the Distillery yet but it's certainly crossed my mind.
Hmmm, I have some assignments due for class and this area might just provide some nice subject matter. Thanks for the insight.

You should add a post in this thread about the Distillery district.

Edit: OK post more shots and make me edit ;) I love the older man catching a nap in the sun, oblivious to his surroundings.

I like the first one the best. Would prefer a deeper DOF so that more of the wheel/handle would be in focus though.

Looks a good area for photography. I live in a similar place. Makes being a shooter very easy when you can just walkaround your neighbourhood.

Excellent images. Great contrast and focus.
