[Photo] Cherry Blossoms @ High Park 2013

Goodness me was the place packed with people! It was both shocking and a let down there were thousands at High Park last weekend. This isn't an amusement park - it's a municipal park with a preserved forest, yet people are using the space like a public gathering. All this just means is that I had significantly less opportunities to take scenery photos without people in it.

This is also the first time I've ever taken the T3i outdoors so I found myself experimenting with settings quite often. Only thing that could've been nice is if I brought my tripod along. Since I'm not familiar with settings nor used to remembering ball park settings, I found myself either taking photos that weren't exposed well, or very grainy pictures. These are the best I have.

Could've gotten lower.

 Sister and her boyfriend.

 I spy with my little eyes, two weirdos wouldn't stop looking at me.

Next face to put on a coin!

 

 Had the ISO way too high on the Finch. But it flew away before I had a chance to retry.

Probably the best photo I took on the entire trip.


I would love to go back again, or any wilderness - with a tripod - and take crispier photos of small animals and macro shots of plants.
