Hyperrealist Landscape Photography by Michael Tobis

L'Oratoire en Hiver, Montreal QC

A rare view of St. Joseph's from a neighboring 8 story building.

Of course, the view includes a hockey game. I believe the low-slung copper roof building in the foreground is a former monastery now used as a college of some sort, but I'm not sure.

I take landscape photos that seem to me revealing of something or other.
Often I try to make them look sort of like oil paintings or watercolors.
So far the only tool I have used besides a camera is iPhoto.
So far I have avoided any retouching or other spot effects.
I often turn "noise reduction" way up to deliberately remove small details.
So far they are all taken in North America.
They usually come out sort of hyperrealistic, but sometimes impressionistic.
Sometimes they come out lousy, but I won't post those.

Best viewed on Apple LCD hardware with factory settings.
