We ventured to the top of the CN tower in Toronto and wondered if Sophie would walk on the glass floor. I guess at this age, they are still somewhat fearless. I struggled to take a photo of her stomping around on the glass and with the hundreds of other visitors there, it was a challenge. I wanted a shot of her on the floor with the ground visible at the bottom. It’s near pitch black in the room so trying to expose for both the outside and my subject called for a flash, which I didn’t have then, or some fancy HDR work, which is hard to do with a moving subject. Luckily, I took this quick shot at some point and although you can’t see the ground hundreds of feet below, it’s clear that she’s up above somewhere. The composition could’ve been improved but I was happy I even got this! I like the mural in the background and how it looks like Sophie is walking on a beam, being careful not to step over the edge.

Luckily I had my wide angle with me!
