An amateur photographer in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

A New Year

It was a bright but chilly morning here in Toronto on January 1st. I was out with photography friends on a walk that included the University of Toronto campus. I liked the look of the clouds and the steam from the smokestack.

Allan Gardens With a New Lens

A nasty cold/flu bug has severely curtailed my shooting and posting recently, but I did get out this past Friday to Allan Gardens here in Toronto, shooting with my Sony a7ii and new TTArtisan 75mm f/1.5 lens. This lens will take some learning, but I love the look!

Snow at The Beaches

At the Beaches this morning; snow added a frosting of atmosphere.

All images taken with my Sony a7ii and Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 lens. Both the carea and the lens have good weather sealing, so they are my go to combo on a day like today.

Christmas Lights

The first of likely a few holiday-themed posts.
We got our Christmas lights put up the other day, and I decided to di out one of my old cross-star filters to get a retro-cheesy look, and I was quite happy with what I got. I used my Sony a6100 and TTArtisan 50mm f/1.2 lens, with the filter.

A Find

I was walking down this street this morning and saw that someone had put out a bunch of stuff on their lawn for anyone who wanted it. My eye was taken by these metallic birds; they will have a place in at least one macro project!

Four of Me

There is an interesting reflective wall inside the Coxwell subway station here in Toronto. I positioned myself to appear four times in one image, due to the distortions.
