Toronto Photowalk 2: Brookfield Place to Nathan Phillips Square

Exposure Therapy’s second photowalk in Toronto.

I want to thank every­one who braved the chilly wind to join me on Expo­sure Therapy’s sec­ond Toron­to pho­towalk. There were sev­er­al last-minute can­cel­la­tions, but enough peo­ple showed up to form a tight, well-round­ed group. I hope for greater atten­dance as the weath­er swings into spring and more folks are will­ing to spend pro­longed peri­ods out­side!

Photowalk details:

Date: Feb­ru­ary 26, 2023

Loca­tion: Brook­field Place, Nathan Phillips Square, Osgoode Hall, and David Pecaut Square.

Theme: Wide-angle pho­tog­ra­phy. “Let’s explore the pos­si­bil­i­ties of using wide-angle lens­es. In this pho­towalk, you’re chal­lenged to use focal lengths of 35mm or less on full-frame or 24mm or less on APS‑C. Let’s have fun and explore extreme per­spec­tives!”
