“Toronto in silhouette”
Click here for a larger view Photo courtesy of Tony Tran.
The Toronto skyline has been photographed countless times over the years, but this shot by photographer Tony Tran is a bit different from most. Mr. Tran took this photograph while aboard a ferry on Lake Ontario, capturing the city’s skyline in silhouette along with a lone boater who just happened to be drifting by at the time. I think the colors in this photo are wonderful, as is the composition.
The number of different ways to photograph a given scene is limited only by the number of photographers who are interested in giving it a go. With just a little variety in strategy and technique, the common can become quite extraordinary. And so it is with this wonderful picture.
The camera and settings used to capture this image:
Camera: Canon EOS 350D
Lens: Canon 50mm f/1.8
Shutter speed: 1/500
Focal length: 50 mm

Wow, what a great photo today Mr. Rouse! Mr. Tran has a real masterpiece here.
Toronto is indeed a beautiful city, and I have never seen it photographed quite like this. The boat adds a lot to the image too.
Delightful!!!
Great capture, Mr. Tran, of a great city. Thanks for sharing!
What a beautiful peaceful scene Mr. Tran! Very nicely done.
Mr. Tran, this is one outstanding photograph. Great job in every area of the process!
This looks like such a beautiful place. I really love the silhouettes.
