More downtown photos

Downtown

I participated in a photo walk a few days ago.  It was a cloudy dull day.  However, I was intrigued by the reflections.  These were some of my favourite.

Texture

A friend told me recently that when he returns to a place he has visited many times, he goes with a particular type of shot, or camera setting, in mind.  One morning I walked around a semi-truck that had been parked close by which I have walked around many times and could not think of any way to photograph it.  It was a bright sunny morning, and the contrast would be high, so I decided to look for textures.  It didn't take long and I was seeing them everywhere.
