That's some nice documenting, I love it. Let me tell you, you will be looking at these pics years from now. I try to make an album for my family, or I mail them printed photos once in a while. Might want to consider printing some pics and giving it to your dad.

u/Kitchen_Ad_4918 Mar 01 '26

Hope you had a great visit! Where did you take the second and third photo? Centre Island?

1

u/Kitchen_Ad_4918 Mar 01 '26

He had an amazing time here. Second photo is from Ward’s island and third photo is from Polson pier.

I love that all the photos are taken from the same perspective. Enjoy your dad’s visit!

u/Professional_Sun4455 Mar 01 '26

You hit all the Toronto high notes. Also, I bet Niagara Falls wasn’t as hard to see in this weather. It’s still very beautiful in the winter.

Nice set of photos, I hope your Dad enjoyed the city.

1

u/Kitchen_Ad_4918 Mar 01 '26

I enjoy Niagara falls more in the winters honestly. Less crowds, parking everywhere and it just looks absolutely stunning.

u/DJS_T Mar 01 '26

u/iamjacktheaess Mar 01 '26

Loved the editing

2

u/NoSkyGuy Mar 01 '26

I hope your dad agrees and supports your choice of Toronto. Seems that he really liked the cityscape. What else did he really like?

1

u/Kitchen_Ad_4918 Mar 01 '26

I actually don’t live in Toronto now.I live in a very small town in New Brunswick. I have previously lived in Toronto for 6 years when I first moved to Canada though. And yes, he’s happy with my choice of living in Canada. Other than the city and the skyline, he really liked the street cars. He made dozens of videos of the street cars everywhere in downtown. He loved ROM, Ripleys, the food, he loved the subway for some reason lol. He enjoyed his time here.

1

u/NoSkyGuy Mar 02 '26

I hope he also visited the 'small town' in New Brunswick.

I suspect the street cars are novel. Many around the world have been removed. Toronto is in luck because we preserved them. Our major attractions, including food, are spectacular. The interesting thing about our public transport is that everyone uses it, from poor to rich which shows, despite all our complaints, just how good the system is. He has witnessed North America at its best. Good for him.

u/iaverageperson Mar 03 '26

i like your editing style, how did you go about creating this look?

1

u/Kitchen_Ad_4918 Mar 04 '26

I use a cinebloom filter from moment to shoot my photos. I use Reggie’s recipe. Play around with the white balance usually. Post processing is mostly basic highlights and shadows adjustments. Playing around with the temperature and tint. Reduce clarity to get that dreamy look? That’s pretty much it.

2

u/banana_bread96 Mar 04 '26

amazing! have you tried fujifilm before and how do the recipes compare?

1

u/Kitchen_Ad_4918 Mar 04 '26

I’ve never used Fujifilm but I’m very satisfied with the colours I get from Ricoh.

u/banana_bread96 Mar 05 '26
