Hanging out at the AGO

Pat Tapia/Joey Images

A friend and photography student every so often inspires our group with his work. He was out visiting at the Art Gallery of Ontario and took his point-and-shoot camera. Yes! This shot was taken with the Canon Powershot G10. I'll be sure to tell you more about this amazing camera in a future article or review. Pat explains that he needed to take the 6 photographs in order to achieve the wider field of view than the G10 allowed. So he had to think outside of the box or in this case, the camera! He hand-held all 6 photographs at 1/60th of second, using an aperture of f8 with a ISO setting of 200. He later post processed in Photoshop CS4; stitched 6 of the images, used levels to adjust the brightness and the digital polarizer filter to add a little darkness to the sky and make the colours in the wood pop! These are those once in a blue moon shots that inspire me to go out and shoot Architecture....nicely done Pat!
