Photo Session 5 "Ontario Science Center"

This past week have been an easy days for me, I was not working during this week so unwillingly I got my camera and keep myself busy instead. The place I choose to go is what else than the Ontario Science Center located on Eglington and Don Mills. I was already exact 10am which is the opening time of the center and also there were lots of kids who are also eager to tour the building.

I have shed out $18 buck for this photo session and personally I was not satisfied by this tour and much even appreciated the first session which is on Port Island and cost only $7 for the entrance. Although its my first time in there all the stuff i have seen in there only interest me a little and really nothing great to shoot at as im not interested on taking antique or small science items for pictures. The impression I have with me is that its rather a nursery place that caters only for the kindergarden and 10yrs below child groups.

Honestly I was pretty bored with this place and only produced minor good candidate pictures out of 400+ shots I have taken. I was in there for about 4 hours approximately and feels like my $18 is not worth the pay, I would consider it if they have the Pharaoh's exhibition which was not available at the moment.

Here are some shots I have taken with my photo session:

"Ceramic Head Female" -

A female ceramic head used to demonstrate the brains functions and parts, notice the dial notch on her head. I find this amusing but wished I have taken several shots of this one.

Photo Session 3 Toronto Earth Day

Went to the downtown on Yonge and Dundas where the events for the Earth Day Hour are being held. The weather is perfect but a little cold but that didnt stop me for taking pictures on this event. There are many people as I have expected but since I have arrived it was just like in a snap and everybody is becoming crowded and full of activities as the time passed by.

This is my first experience taking pictures of such events and hope more to come. I really was overwhelmed by the lots of people and having difficulty where to find a place to get a perfect of people as im my view of camera was almost blocked by the people in front of me. Maybe if im a little bit more aggressive and optimistic I wouldnt have difficulty squeezing thru lots of people, I still have lots to learn how to take pictures.

Here are some pictures I have taken so far:


Fire eater


Queen of Fire:

What it feels like to take photographs behind some people? well here are one of them. Im really annoyed by this guy in front of me taking up 60% of my camera frame!



Justin Nozuka

Picture shot of Justin Nozuka performing the "After Tonight" song, I enjoyed the song.


Jarvis Church

Picture of him with his band singing the song " So Beautiful", great song its lively but I wish I have a good spot to take shots.

Photo session 1 - Port Harbor Front

I got a free time this morning and decided to man up and take a photo session picture and the place I have chosen is the Port Harbor Front. I was actually planning to take photos around the harbor front and without spending a coin but ended up paying $7 for the fare to get to another Island which is the Port "Harbor.

Here are some photos which was taken around morning time, there's so much place to go and to take pictures but I didn't have enough time and my memory card storage was limited so I ended up going back around 12 noon but I really enjoyed it.



This one I think is one of my best of photos so far, $7 of ferry ticket I think is worthy!



I was pretty happy with the result of this one. - "Tree"



This one is my all time favorite shot, I didn't think anything before taking this shot but was surprised when I saw it afterward.
