Another pictorial-style image, this time of the cross walk at the bottom of my street. Image taken with my iPhone, then some work in post.

Wide Angle Blur
Out in High Park, Toronto this morning with my Sony a6100 and 7Artisans 10mm f/3.5 lens. I discovered that if I shoot wide open at the absolute closest focussing distance I get a background blur that I wouldn’t normally associate with a super-wide lens. I like the look.
Back to the Beaches
Yes I like a red filter effect equivalent in post!
All images taken with my Sony 6100 and either a TTArtisans 23mm f/1.4 or 25mm f/2.4 lens.
The Beginning of The End
This post may be titled “The Beginning of the End” but it is about the start of a project: black and white images of flowers / plants that are in various stages of decay, from the beginning of the end to (eventually) dead leaves in snow, as the year progresses.
I took these four images this morning on my Sony a6100 and 7Artisans 25mm f/1.8 lens.
When Plans Change
I could not go on my Wednesday outing this week, as life got in the way, but later in the day I did get out to Winslow Park here in Toronto.
Both images taken with my Sony a6100 body and 7Artisans 10mm f/3.5 lens.
A Different View
Back to the Beaches yesterday, and another flower picture but a different view. IT’s a sunflower, but not taken from the usual head on angle.
Biidaasige Park
There is a new park in the Portlands in Toronto, and recently I went down erly in the morning to check it out. In the first image I was able to get a new angle on one of the new bridges. I reminds me of a retro-future look, like the Thunderbirds show from the 1960’s.
The second image catches the morning haze.
Both images taken with my Sony a6100.
Morning Flowers
Two more flower images taken this past weekend in Niagara-On-the-Lake here in Ontario. I love the colours!
Both images were made with my Sony a6100 body, and TTArtisan 35mm f/1.4; a lens that is getting a lot of use lately!
Spadina House
Yesterday I was in Spadina House, an Edwardian era mansion in Toronto, now open as a museum. Fascinating interiors! Even in the context of a guided tour, with a wide lens like my Ziltrox 20mm f/2.8 on my Sony a7ii body, there are lots of possibilities for images!
Given that the mansion is presented as a snapshot in time, I wanted my images to be black and white.
Water Bottles
It’s been a hot summer in Toronto, so everywhere you go, water bottles are important. I saw these bottles in a local coffee shop (The Only Cafe), and thought they would look nice with a pictorial treatment.
