Follow the curve

Sometimes, you just never know where you will find your next subject or when inspiration will hit you and start your neurons firing all over the place. As I was heading to board my plane to Brussels a few weeks ago, I came across this odd sculpture at Toronto’s Pearson airport, when my head said “Jackpot”. This thing has photo opp written all over it and I couldn’t help but take a few snaps in the very limited time I had with it. Before you knew it, I had my Nikon 14-24 on my D700 and I was happy shooting. Here I was particularly drawn to the strong curves and the color contrast between the various structures and the twilight sky showing behind the glass.

Moral of the story: always have a camera ready to go. No, it doesn’t have to be your super duper top of the line D75000XPFS, but any camera is DEFINITELY better than any camera. In my next post, I will be displaying a shot or two taken with my iPhone just to demonstrate this point.

    That’s why I have the G11 – I’ve probaly taken more photos with it over the past few months than my SLR. You’d do well with a wider P&S like the LX3 I think.
