TTC Angles

More of the TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) is a wonderful thing, just saying. I could take pictures of it all day, every day, and I do. This picture above was taken at Keele Subway Station, as  was standing waiting for my train to come in. At first it was just you average train coming into the station shot, but knowing me I had to give it a different twist. Mirror effect, twisted view. 

Where the hell is this, you ask? The railing that runs between the stairwell where Dundas Subway Station meets up with The Atrium On Bay. Perfect macro, I just had to line it up right and focus on the right thing. What I love about this shot is that you really don't know what it is. You have to think about it. This is one of the most common stairwells I use when I'm working at the Toronto Eaton Centre, as it is the gateway between to worlds. In fact, most people have never heard of the Atrium on Bay, it's like a whole other mall over there. Major picture opp. I must say, those shot are to come on a later date my friends. 

In this post I was trying to show the different angles of things, and how just by tilting the camera will give the picture that is taken a whole new perspective. Above is a shot of the inside of one of the first subway trains in Toronto, which opened in 1954. Going back to my trip to the Halton Region Railway museum, they had two or three cars there of two different models of trains. This one being the old red rocket subway trains. I do remember as a child, waiting with my Grandma for one of these trains, always wishing for the red one to show up at Bloor Subway Station. In fact, it's amazing just how much that station has changed since the 1980's. Just go on Youtube and see videos that show what it used to look like.

Here is a music video by The Spoons called Romantic Traffic, it really gives you an idea as to what the train looked like in motion and what those stations looked like back in the 1980's. Memories. Thank you Youtube.com for the video.

And finally there is this lovely abandoned jailhouse in Niagara Falls, which I have mentioned before. This angle gives you the vision that it is enormous, even though it's really just a normal size. When you look at the building or an object, try looking at it differently, see how you might notice a whole new visual.
