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.

Intentional Camera Movement
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!
Macro Season
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.

Halloween in Toronto
It was a rather busy Church Street for Halloween this year!
More Aperture Slit Images
I am enjoying this technique!
Water Droplets In the Morning
Seen yesterday in Mount Pleasant Cemetery in the morning on a lovely day.
The Endless Stairwell
Last evening I was at a show opening at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Toronto at the invitation of a friend. The building is an old factory, and still has that vibe; he showed me a stairwell that went nowhere and I thought it was the perfect spot for a portrait, so out came the iPhone.
Store Windows
Last Sunday morning I was out in Little India here in Toronto. The light was soft and on the grey side, but I liked what it was doing for metal and glass, so I focussed on close-up images, mainly in store windows. I was shooting mostly wide open, and often dirty and/or scratched window glass gave me an effect I like.
For all images I used my Sony a6100 and TTArtisan 35mm f/1.4 lens.
Back to McLean’s Auto Wreckers
Yesterday I went with some photography friends to McLean’s Auto Wreckers, about 90 minutes outside of Toronto. This is my second visit (I went for the first time a couple of years ago), so to change things up this time around, I focussed on the interiors of derelict cars, decaying silently, being reclaimed by nature.
It felt like Urban Exploration in abandoned buildings, but on a much smaller scale.
I took all these images with my Sony a6100 body, and 7Artisans 10mm f/3.5 lens.
