London Photography

[haljackey]

Yeah Vic Park can get pretty desolate when there's nothing going on.

Walked through it at night many times. I would actually be kinda scared if I was by myself... a lot of weird types lurk there when the sun goes down.

Hey guys, I added a huge photo tour of London in the main City Photos section....

I now have High Res photos on my Flickr page. Most of the high res stuff right now is London road stuff, but I'll be adding many, many more photos to it over the next little bit.

Gah, a good photography group would be sweet ass for London

[haljackey]

Good Morning London!

[haljackey]

One more shot of One London Place- London's tallest building (and also the tallest building in Ontario outside of the Golden Horseshoe!)



And just for the hell of it, One London Place in Simcity 4.

[Simpseatles]

Hey, did you have to design One London Place yourself in the game, or was it an option to place in your city?

[haljackey]

There are thousands of buildings you can download on the net for Simcity 4. Two models of One London Place have been made. The one posted there looks the best of the two in my opinion.

wicked. I was a longtime SimCity Addict, going way back to SimCity 2000, played on my 386 with a boot disk on account of memory limitations.

A couple shots by me, taken from an apartment on Commisioners road last year.





Sorry they weren't the best quality.

^one of the better vantage points. A real good vantage point is towards the north end of Wortley Road, at least at times of the year where foliage is not blocking the view.

My favorite vantage point is from Riverside out front of Mt Pleasant cemetery, but it's best in Spring and Fall before the leaves come out but without snow.

Like on the Wortley Road overpass? Seems like a good spot. If I get a chance I'll snap a few photos there before the trees bud.


Here's one shot of the London Skyline I took from Commissioners and Warncliffe last year at Basil Grover Park (AKA the Toilet Bowl):

Just wish I had a better zoom lens for the DSLR. My point'n'shoot is 10x but the picture quality simply can't compare to single lens reflex.

I've got you all beat. I started playing SimCity before it was called SimCity. It was originally called "A-Train", and I played it on a 386 as well.

Also, what building is that from, the one beside the Bristol? Or those three orange ones?

Here's a video I took from the Wortley Road overpass. It provides a fairly good vantage point of downtown, even in the summer with all the foliage.

That big "Good Morning" shot is actually one of the nicest London pictures I've seen in ages, haljackey. I've always thought London's downtown is best seen from within downtown itself and your shot is a perfect example of that. Good stuff.

And to keep this skyline business rollin, here is an ugly picture of London-Town from the Adelaide overpass:

[MolsonExport]

Funny how all the real fuglies in the skyline cluster on the eastern side (e.g., those horrid concrete apt towers with the different style for the uppermost floors...one is featured above with a satellite dish atop a mast: a beacon for captain ugliness). Those colborne towers are fugly too.
