It was quite cloudy last Wednesday, but that kind of light is great for flower images. Both images taken with my Sony A7ii and 28-75mm f/2.8 Tamron lens.

Two Portraits
Yesterday morning I was out for my usual Wednesday Gang photo walk. I got a couple of portraits I really like: one of a stranger in a coffee shop, the other one of the other photographers on the walk. Very different images but they both work for me.
Both images were taken with my Sony a7ii and 28-75mm Tamron lens.
A View Looking Down
It’s the time when dandelions in Toronto start going to seed. This is the view of one, looking down from above.
Portrait of a Friend
I met up with my friend Yuri this morning. He is an amazing photographer who can find something interesting in any setting.
Colour in Kipling
The area around Kipling Avenue in Toronto is not the prettiest, but that is where I was yesterday, and did find one spot that wasn’t dreary, and of course it was a flower macro.
Hard Shadows
Normally one tries to avoid hard shadows in portrait photography. But last Sunday, sitting by a window in coffee shop on a brilliantly sunny morning, I decided to go with the hard shadows, and go for an affect of anonymity.
Couple By the Window
Seen yesterday morning at OCAD here in Toronto. I didn’t even have time to really focus and had to guess. I was close enough to be able to sharpen in it post.
Stairs Into The Ravine
I have a list of photographic ideas and locations I want to try, and on that list is the stairs into the north end of the Glen Stewart Ravine in East Toronto, shot with my 4mm circular fish-eye lens, so that was my outing yesterday morning. Here are two black and white images, along with a faux-infrared treatment.
Construction on the Danforth
A couple of evenings ago I went for a short walk along “The Danforth” (Danforth Avenue here in Toronto). I saw this odd object at a construction site, held my camera over the fence and hoped for the best.
Flowers After The Rain
Coming home from Camera Club in the rain last night, and knowing more rain was forecast overnight, I resolved to go out this morning and shoot black and white macro images of rain drops on flowers.
It was a bit breezy, and focus was a real challenge, but after some work in post I got three images I like.
I used my Sony a6100 body and 90mm macro lens.
