Third Line & Dundas area... yourself? :D
Nice :D

[ErikM]

Cool! Any recommendations on where to get some nice landscape shots? I'd like to go up the escarpment and take some nice pics from up there.

[aLFaDaRK]

Well, I haven't actually had a whole lot of time to take landscapes with my DSLR because of school, but I want to go up to the escarpment when it gets warmer. Right now I'm limited to a park 5 minutes from my house which can sometimes turn out nice sunsets. ;)

EDIT: And I completely forgot somehow, during the summer I'm downtown by the lake about once a week, so i always get nice photos there too, and at the right time of the year, the moon is spectacular over the water.

[tomvill]

Kitchener waterloo also and not far away from brantford but i,m in the Uk right now and by the end of the year that will be my new home.. :D

Not much to take pictures of in this very small town near grimsby Uk though.

[tjmaroney]

Ottawa here! {{ ducks for cover }}

anyone else from this neck of the woods?

being the nation's capital, we're lucky enough to have a seemingly endless supply of various festivals and such, which provide amazing photo opportunities (i.e. - the tulip festival, busker festival, jazz festival, blues festival, etc.). also tons of parks too! of course, there's also lots of architectural subjects (including parliament hill, rideau canal, etc.). the gatineau hills (provincial park on the quebec side of the river) are also spectacular in the fall.

I have dealers in Toronto, Mississauga, London, Sarnia, Windsor, Kingston, Burlington; Hell, all over, really.

I'm going to be up there next month (not looking forward to the cold), and then again later in the year. If spare time presents itself at some point, I;'d love to meet up with some locals for some shooting.

I've moved to Windsor now, anyone near the GLORIOUS Windsor? :P

[Rubi Jane]

I'm halfway between Guelph & Hamilton...Freelton, home of the Four Seasons Nudist Resort not that I've ever been there ;)

I'd love to do a meet around Niagara on the Lake in the summer, tie it into a few winery visits. I don't ski much but a winter outing would be fun too. Any ideas?

[PixelChick78]

I'll come! I know a few others on here too from SW Ontario that would likely join in too!

[Michael_Lambert]

Northern boy myself too - Bradford Ontario. Working Thornhill.

[Rubi Jane]

That's great...there's a few others I think might come out & play if tempted ;)
I'll think up some ideas for a winter meet and start up a thread to see who's interested and what other ideas they might have.

Cool, I've had a tough time finding anything interesting to shoot here, short of the Detroit zoo a couple months ago, which was pretty small, and it was pouring rain all day :(.

Any hope?

Good Ole North Bay, ON.

Lot's to shoot up here this far North. Algonquin Park along with many other attractions make for splendid shooting. WOOHOO! love the wildlife.

I have family in Oakville so I stomp there a fair bit. If you want to head out sometime to shoot just let me know, I'm pretty well game for anything to get a well earned break from my toddler ;)

Yup Belle River here, 'DocZ65' is from Windsor too. Looks like we have at least half a dozen in the area. I too struggle to find interesting shooting opportunities here. Normally I'm night shooting the river front in the winter.

Like the Santa Clause Parade? http://photos-b.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sctm/v156/97/120/81002655/n81002655_35477689_7585.jpg

Who does their parade at night!? Windsor... :(

That's the only thing I've taken pics of this winter in Windsor.

[Shasta]

But the water front is perfect.

Waterdown's (burough of Hamilton) Santa Claus Parade is at night. I shot it this year. Freezing cold but the images came out OK.

2007 Flamborough Santa Claus Parade (http://ryderphoto.wordpress.com/2007/11/27/flamborough-santa-claus-parade/)

Folks even stake their territory as early as noon with chairs lining the main street.

Yes been all over the state, It's not bad. I love my job here, I just like the warmer weather now that I am a little older.

[Jayson Prentice]

Ahh... True, have you been around here for long? As if you think this is cold right now I bet you can't wait until Jan/Feb when we can see some below zero temps! ;)

Been here for 15 years. Lived in Canada, Lived in Arizona. I like it warm and sunny better, but til I retire from the FD I will be here.

Yea, haven't been yet. Should go...

Some things are pricey, but they do sell used lenses at good prices.

[Sprint8]

Some of Henry prices have come down to US prices. Checkout Canon 40d and L lens.

[aCiD99]

Some things are pricey, but they do sell used lenses at good prices.

To add to my previous statement, I shop at Henry's a lot, but I've never been to the Windsor one yet.

Awesome service whenever I go.

[Alex Rechetov]

Awesome service whenever I go.Must be an issue with the particular branch, but every time I go into the downtown Toronto store I end up being majorly disappointed by their service... or rather lack thereof. :confused:

[aCiD99]

Ooooo, probably a TO busy-ness issue.

I only go to the Oakville one. They let me play with anything I want, are knowledgeable, and don't assume you know nothing. And when my 70-200 was front focusing they just handed me a brand new one on the spot.

Even the owner would recommend a $1000 cheaper option if it was a better choice.

[aLFaDaRK]

The Oakville Henry's is usually very good, however sometimes I'm treated as if I'm looking for a point and shoot (being a teen, they just assume), so I've gotten into the habit of walking in with my camera around my neck to get some attention. ;)

[Shasta]

Windsors service is great, lots of people to help and their prices are good on most items. 40D is only $1099.

I think you will find that common in a lot of shops from my experience and I'm no way a teen. I've also found some shop owners downright arrogant and they may know there stuff they make the buyer feel dumb, they may not even realize they are doing that.

[Perry Ge]

I'm in downtown toronto for the duration of the university term :P. The rest of the time I'm in Hong Kong, which is, imho, so much nicer than Toronto for buying gear - unless it's the second hand market! HK's sucks, whilst Toronto's craigslist, TPMG, and even POTN sellers are a bustling community.

[Alex Rechetov]

Ooooo, probably a TO busy-ness issue.No that can't be it, since even when I go there on a weekday morning when I'm the only customer in the entire store, I still usually find about 5 sales reps in the corner somewhere chatting away without an even slight hint of willingness to help me out...

But I do agree that some of their other branches are much better than that.

No, busy-ness still affects the quality of service during non-busy hours. Employees will be generally discouraged about their job, and more likely to want to do nothing during that downtime.

Still not acceptable though.

For the Windsorites, if you get a chance and you like airplanes, theres a wicked stealthy flat black military plane that just landed today at Windsor airport. Unfortunately I never had my camera with me heading home after work but I am going to try and get there tomorrow. A must see if your into planes.

I work at the airport, I'm an AME apprentice for Journey Air. It was a Hercules C160, the pilots we're idiots that had no business flying a plane like that. And I too was kicking my ass for not having my camera. If you want pictures, it's scheduled to be at RMG Aero (Shell) until tomorrow morning.

[Shasta]

Very cool, there were a couple of cars pulled over on 42 checking it out, cool paint.

Thanks Slack3r. Unfortunately I won't get there till after 4pm so I'l miss it, damn.

They were really carving up the sky with it.
They went over my dads a few times and around.
I've seen that plane doing stuff like that before.

I also came across a forum that is primarily focussed on organizing photography meetups in Toronto / Southern Ontario (www.tpmg.ca). POTN is definitely still my fave community for discussing photography, gear, and putting up photos for critique, but these guys seem to have a lot more activity when it comes to face-to-face meets in the GTA. I haven't been to any of their events yet, but it also seems like it's worth a try...
