Since we were in the same places, I probably would have taken almost exactly the same photos as he did, but the difference was evident when we came home and started processing them. Daniel has an inclination towards the, uh, cartoonish when it comes to processing, whereas I tend towards the surreal.
So here are some of my interpretations of HIS photos. But no matter how you slice it, some are quite amazing . . . when he gets his OWN blog I'm sure he'll show you his versions. Better get those eclipse-viewing glasses, though.

Supoib shots. I'm almost homesick. The two mountains in the background are Mt. St. Bruno and Mont St-Hilaire behind it. I know because it was my view from the corner of Cavendish and Sherbrooke for 32 years.
ReplyDeleteWow! That's good to know. We were both aware that we were in the exact spot that 99% of "postcard" photogs go to when they want a view of the city, but we were lucky to have a cloudless sky and the clean remnants of a recent snowstorm.
ReplyDeleteAnd that' a long time to be in one place. Let me reassure you that Montreal is still the lovely town that i will call home forever. C'mon back, there, Cowpoke!
Great shots of a great city! ANd yes, of course the last one is the best.
ReplyDeleteOf course a horse!
ReplyDeleteI invited my friend Daniel (whose camera took the pics) to accompany me to St. Joseph's Oratory sometime this week but dressed in our finest, so we can do some HDR portrait photography in an exotic setting. We're both devilishly handsome (he's devilish, in a devillled-egg sort of way, I'm handsome) so it could turn out to be quite the narci-fest!
