Nuit Blanche - canon 20d w/20mm Nuit Blanche - canon 20d w/20mm

View the second shot larger here.

Shot from the CN Tower Skypod (the highest observation platform in the world), looking straight down to the Sky Dome in the first shot and eastwards across Union Station in the second, as part of the Nuit Blanche festival in Toronto.

Both images are made up of three different shots manually stitched in Photoshop.

    I like the photo a lot , just trying some night photography this last few weeks.
    Question is this in HDR (high dynamic range)photoshop version ?

    Thanks!

    Jimmy, this isn't HDR, the three exposures are each different shots, stacked on top of one another, overlapping each other. Perhaps 'stitched' (as you would stitch a panorama) would be a better word than 'combined'. The shots were all taken horizontally but stacked on top of one another they make a vertical orientation.

    I agree with all of the above, one of the best shots I have seen in many weeks.

    Uh... Is there where I type: "SICK!!" I love it! Particularly, how you've captured the different light colours present in T.O. Very very cool, look like light neurons.

    Sensational. Especially through what I know must have been a dirty window.

    Amazing considering it was shot through a window and also stitched together.

    Impressing! First I thought of a heli flight. There must be some nuc-powerstations working around that area.
    I love your whole blog and keep on watching.

    Awesome angles, the first one is extremely impressive (the second is nice, but it isn't on the same level). Great colors, and I love the way that some parts of the image are completely dark wheras others are fully illuminated by the lights.

    I've seen many shots from the CN Tower. These night shots take the cake. Love the colours. Good job on the stiching.

    Rogers Center, not SkyDome ;) Very beautiful shots, the second one reminds me of the opening scene in Blade Runner.
