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!
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.
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.
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!
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.

I collected this sample of a burr/seed a few weeks ago, and finally got around to doing a macro shot of it this morning.
Yesterday I was experimenting with intentional camera movement (ICM). I found an interesting wooden lattice and took a slow speed exposure (1/8th second) while quickly moving the camera vertically. I like the result!
We had the first snow of the year in Toronto todau, and it continues as I write this post. I got together with a photography friend at a coffee shop this morning, and it was the perfect day to shoot some indoor macro images of some items I brought along. For these three images I used my iPhone.
