Administrator mtlurb Posted January 25, 2007 Administrator Share Posted January 25, 2007 I had rented a Canon L 100-400mm for the weekend,... let me tell you that it is an incredible but also very difficult to manipulate due to sheer weight and shaking issues even with the IS. I took about 500 to 600 pics up there at the Tour de Montréal (Olympics stadium inclined tower). Once i came back home, i noticed many pics were unasble because they were too blurry... (camera shake). Plus, the images aren't incredibly sharp and thats not because of the lense, but I believe because of atmosphere heat and sheer distance ( light diffraction?) plus the fact that i am behind a greenish glass. Anyhow, I managed to capture some incredible angles... I was very surprised with how I saw Montréal from up there. Enjoy! 1. From Parc and Prince Arthur avenue looking south on Parc. (we can see a boat from the port). 2. Up to the tower. 3.To the east with the Biodome and the masses gathering for the closing ceremonies of the Outgames. 4. St-Laurence with the south shore. Larger version 5. closeup 6. some height 6. 7. close up 8. 9. Bateau mouche with the bridges. 10. 11.This scene is so complexe i'll let you figure it out by yourself 12.Old port 13. 14. Tallest back in the days. 18. commie blocks. 19. 20. To the north west, with a plane preparing to land. 21.A view to the east with the port and its activity. More pictures... 22. The incinerators with the huge chimnees will be demolished in the near future i believe. 23.The clusters of Appts far away are in st-Laurent. 24.Chabanel 25. The cluster near the Metropolitan, the twin towers in Laval farther away. 26.What are they building over there that we didn't hear about? 27. Density in the east end... 28. Petrochimical complexes in the east end 29. 30. containers containers containers... 31. unloading... Here's the final part... going down... back on Earth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robertpuant Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Une si belle ville tellement sous-estimée par le reste du Canada (and the US) Sur ces photos, la ville à l'aire vieille et smogeuse mais son âme est beaucoup plus riche que celles des otre ville américaine. En passant sa fait du bien de voir de vert et dla chaleur jten manque de l'été. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTLskyline Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 The angles in these shots are mind-boggling, especially #11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator mtlurb Posted March 29, 2007 Author Administrator Share Posted March 29, 2007 the "smoginess" of the pictures were du to the very dirty and dark green glasses in the olympic tower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elix Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 J'adore! Particulièrement celle ci on y se croirerait à NY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator mtlurb Posted March 30, 2007 Author Administrator Share Posted March 30, 2007 Vraiment de belles photos! Je suis content parce que l'on voit qu'il y a quand même beaucoup d'arbres à Montréal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamthewalrus Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 super belles photo. L'appareil est vraiment puissant. Moi aussi j'ai entendu dire que l'incinérateur sur la photo 22 devrait être détruit dans un avenir raproché, au tour il y a beaucoup de construction. On m'a dit que la police brulait la drogue à cete place là avant et que ça sentait pas mal le pot . le ''gap'' entre la tour de la bourse et le reste du centre-ville pourrait être rempli en partie par le 701 university?

Administrator mtlurb Posted April 2, 2007 Author Administrator Share Posted April 2, 2007 oui l'incinirateur sera detruit et c'est fort probable qu'elle soit utilisee par la police. Je sais que la SQ utilise des fours a ciment pour bruler la drogue qui sont tres comparable a un incinirateur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habsfan Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 le ''gap'' entre la tour de la bourse et le reste du centre-ville pourrait être rempli en partie par le 701 university? Non, car LE 701 UNIVERSITY serait situé à gauche de la TOUR DE LA BOURSE SUR CETTE PHOTO. La moitié du 701 serait même caché par la tour de la Bourse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
