2010 WinterCity Kickoff

Toronto’s Annual winter celebration couldn’t have come at a better time.  With the first big chill of the season I decided to brave the coldest temperatures of the season to take a few quick snaps of this years Winter City kickoff on Friday.  Low light and evening conditions generally can be a challenge for most photographers and dare I say even avoided!  I don’t have a terribly fast set of lenses so I make due with my F4 hardware and often look forward to night shooting.  Although very challenging at times, I find the colours just jump out nicely in low to dark lights.  The Winter city kick off proved to be an interesting challenge as it was both low light and bright light with bursts of fire from the city’s “Angel of the Apocalypse” installation.  The results will be seen slowly over the next few days in my daily photo blog but here are a few images I’ve already posted on Flickr.  The installation can be seen throughout the week and synced to music next  weekend.  There is also an acrobatic display that I was unable to stay to watch.
