Back to the Plant

I have shot the R.H. Harris Water Treatment Plant in Toronto a few times, but never with the Tamron SP superwide 17mm/3.5 lens so out I went last weekend. The very grey, flat lighting gave an interesting look to a very interesting building.

Family

Another image from a foggy day at the Beaches on Saturday. I was struck by this scene of a family in the distance looking out at the fog.

Winter Fog

Yesterday was a foggy day at the Beaches. I was shooting with my  Nikon N90s and Nikkor 105mm/2.5 (replacing the one that was stolen). The film was an old expired roll of Ultrafine Xtreme 400 I had lying around and the result was grainier than I would have liked, but perhaps for the fog the effect works.

West of Union Station

I went out this morning with my new (to me) Nikon FM and Nikkor 35mm lens, received from my friend Jennifer Grange. The scene below is just west of Union Station in Toronto. After being unused for a number of years, all I had to do was pop in some batteries and it worked like a charm. 🙂

The Kayak

One last image from my trip to the icy shores of Lake Ontario last Sunday. At one point I noticed a brave kayaker paddling along the shore, so I scrambled to the best location I could get, put down the camera/tripod, composed the image, and waited for the kayak to come into the frame.

The Sound of Ice

One more of the Ice in the beaches yesterday. One of the most interesting things was the sound the water made hitting the ice covered rocks. A very distinctive sound!

Ice

It was a beautiful, dazzling and cold morning today by the shores of Lake Ontario in the Toronto Beaches. If it gets cold enough, the ice is always interesting here.
