Many residents of Toronto don't recognize this 360 degree view of the city. The reason is that two of Toronto's most famous landmarks are missing from it -- the CN Tower and the Skydome. The reason, of course is the picture was taken from the observation deck of the CN Tower.

This panorama was very hard to make. I took it too late in the day so the sun interferes too much to the west. In addition, you have to shoot through windows and move around to get the view, so there is bad parallax. Still, I was able to stitch it with Panorama Factory.

The result however is a picture unlike any other of Toronto, showing downtown, the Island, the waterfront and more all in one interesting photo.

Interestingly enough, fellow photograph Declan McCullah took a photograph of me taking this photo!

Here's a shot of the Toronto skyline at night. This shot, a 200 degree view from the top of 99 Queen's Quay, was hard because the film lab didn't understand night shots and cut the negatives in the middle. I had to play some repair games.

While this is a low-res shot taken with the digital camera, many from Ottawa still ask for copies of it, so I have put it here. It's from the Peace Tower, taken in March of 1999 after my stepbrother's wedding in the Parliament reading room. This shot also had the windows and parallax problems of the CN Tower shot.
