Himalaya at the CNE - canon 20d w/18-55

I was lucky enough to have time to get to the annual fair at the Exhibition in Toronto this year. I've always missed it before and seen so many wonderful shots of the rides.

Here's a larger version and a black and white version, though I always intended it to be in colour.

    Very beautiful contrast ! I like this sky and it seem to be on the peak. ;)

    The colour version is phenomenal. I love it. The black and white, for me, loses the intensity.

    Very haunting!
    I'm hoping to get out there this weekend for some shots.
    Missed you at the Picture the Cure fundraiser last night. It was a fantastic event .. hope it raised a lot of money.

    The dark sky is great, especially as a backdrop to the colorful ride.

    This is amazing. I did some shots of the fair in my city last year and loved the colors I got. This one is amazing with the bright neon flanked by the foreboding clouds. I love it.

    what I like is that I have no idea what ride this is. By taking just the sign and the sky (I don't know if this was your intention) I wonder more about the mountains than what this "is" (besides a gorgeous shot).

    I love the colour and the crazy clouds! Oddly enough, <a href="http://www.makinghappy.com/archived/000695.php";>Gayla</a> posted an image of this sign yesterday!

    Maybe it's just me, but I really prefer the b/w version. The color is nice too, of course.

    I like the feeling of menace from the sky.

    I don't know how you got those amazing clouds, but whatever you're doing, keep doing it! The results are incredible.

    This is a very nice shot. I was at the Ex on Monday and got a few shots similiar to this. I also like that you have left the ride out altogether and just captured the signage.

    Thanks all, there was a big but quick storm right before I took this that flooded several streets around Toronto in minutes. Luckily it held off for the rest of the evening!

    I like the somewhat surreal mix of the gloomy sky and cheery lights and colour of the fair.
