CNE 2013 Photo Round-Up: Toronto Photography

Filed under: Blog,Life,Out & About — Tags: , , , , , — Holly @ 8:27 am

What fun being an official CNE blogger was! Fun to visit the CNE multiple times, and especially fun to photograph it!

This is my sixth, and last, blog posting about this years CNE. My first blog posting (see it here) was from my opening day visit to the CNE, some beautiful sunset shots of the many rides. My second blog posting on the CNE (see it here) was all about the yummy treats that can be found there. My third blog posting was about the CNE games (see it here). Fourth posting was all about the CNE Farm Building and the adorable animals found there (see it here). Fifth was all about the CNE Air Show, find it here.

So this blog posting is just a round up of images I hadn’t posted, so let’s get started with this cool shot of the CNE Zip Line ride with a beautiful cloud filled backdrop:

CNE 2013: Toronto Photography

Filed under: Blog,Life,Out & About — Tags: , , , , , , , , — Holly @ 3:06 pm

I’m one of ten official CNE Bloggers this year, which means multiple trips to the CNE, and fun photographic possibilities.

Summer is fast coming to a close, so any excuse to be outside enjoying a balmy summer evening is wonderful. I’ve been timing my visits for the afternoon/evening for the best light for photography. In this blog post I’ll be sharing images from the various rides at the CNE.

This one is a fave. I wished I’d had a longer focal length, as I had to crop it a little, but just love this shot with the setting sun in the corner, and the people silhouetted as they await their turn on the Zip Line, a new ride this year at the CNE:

The Canadian flags against a sky of blue, the Ring of Fire ride:

I’m not sure of the name of this ride…swinging people against a sky of blue:

Captured the city skyline from the Giant Wheel ride:

Captured the same evening as the Zip Line ride image at the beginning of the blog post, this is the Blitzer Roller Coaster:

Another from the same night, I think this is the Ferris Wheel ride:

From the same evening, the setting sun:
