Queen St W from Palmerston to Markham August 2024

            In my whirlwind trip to Toronto last summer, I shot source for collages of the blocks between Bathurst and Strachan for my next big book. This is the first block I’ve assembled from that batch. 

I learned a lot about the work ahead of me assembling the rest of this series!

Conditions were hectic. Clouds moved around a blue sky, shifting the lighting conditions constantly. You can see the shadows are soft in some slices and hard in others. As well, my camera was newish to me and I was still stumbling around some settings. I did this with a pocket camera 

The resolution is a bit higher and I shot a separate frame for almost every shop. The working file is over 3 gigabytes and pushes my aging hardware to its limits. 

There were a lot of parked cars — and street patios — on the south side and often I shot from the edge of the parking lane rather than the curb. For a lot of shots there was camera tilt. After perspective is corrected and the shots are aligned based on the storefronts, other things don’t align because they are distorted vertically.

Seventeen shots from corner to corner.
