An amateur photographer in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Two More from Williamson Park Ravine

It was back to Williamson Park Ravine yesterday here in Toronto. In this black and white image I like that two of my fellow photographers are available, to give a sense of scale:

In this second image I am experimenting with a vintage pictorial look.

I used my Sony a6100 body and Ziltrox 20mm f/2.8 lens for both images.

Out With a New Lens This Morning

My eyes aren’t getting any younger, and I am starting to use auto focus lenses more frequently. This morning I was out with my new Ziltrox 20mm f/2.8 FE lens. Pretty good bang for the buck, I’d say!

Images taken with my Sony a7ii body.

The “Oreo Cookie” Lens

I finally broke down and bought what people are calling the “Oreo Cookie” lens. (So-called because the front of the lens is designed to look like and Oreo cookie.) The lens is fixed focus, all plastic, very inexpensive, and supposedly is reclaimed from disposable single-use cameras. So we are talking very primitive. But that is what makes it fun! I tried it out yesterday for the first time at a outdoor craft fair in the Beaches here in Toronto on my Sony a7ii.

Living Arts Centre

Yesterday morning I was at the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga, Ontario. Great architecture, and and great light coming in! Images created with Sony a6100 body and 27mm lesn as well as a 7.5 mm fisheye lens.
