These Miniature Aerial Images Of Peterborough Are Amazing

Twenty-two-year-old Peterborough photographer/videographer Justin Schofield—currently enrolled in the Integrated Media program at OCAD in Toronto—has created an amazing series of images of a "miniature Peterborough".

Justin first took the photos several years when given multiple chances to fly around Peterborough, and has now digitally manipulated them in this clever way—almost giving them a Lego feel. 

"I was playing around with Tilt-shift effect by applying a gradient blur over aerial shots of Peterborough," he tells PTBOCanada. "There is something so intriguing about aerial perspectives, especially when they look miniature."

Justin, a talented photographer, was part of the last graduating class at PCVS before it shut down. He plans to get involved in the film industry once he's completed his studies at OCAD.

Here are more of his miniature photos below...

Patrick J. Stephen Just Made This Awesome Video About Peterborough

Talented young photographer/videographer Patrick J. Stephen approached PTBOCanada about doing a video about Peterborough to showcase his skills—and this city he loves.

We loved Patrick's video so much celebrating the city's people, places and things that make it so special, that we wanted to share it with you on PTBOCanada.

"Peterborough has more to offer than a place to live," says Patrick. "It is an amazing community to grow up in, a place to grow a business, a place to experience art and enjoy life. You can see the relentless energy through the busy streets, ingenuity in the business there and beauty in the landscapes that surround it. There is truly no place quite like Peterborough."

We Like The Sounds Of Silver Bean Bay #SilverBeanBay

Silver Bean Bay

The Silver Bean—Peterborough's waterfront cottage café on the Otonabee—is on a pretty little bay.

And Lloyd Graham—who runs the popular Peterborough Pedal 'N' Paddle below the Bean—has coined a term for it: Silver Bean Bay. We love it.

It's like, "Hey, what are you doing today?" "Well, we're heading down to Silver Bean Bay!"

Let's put that on maps. We dig it, tourists will dig it.

This has become known as Silver Bean Bay. Please put that on the next map @CityPtbo / @PtboCounty. #lovelocalptbo pic.twitter.com/PUYGqZUdYg
