Another image from my walk around the University of Toronto campus on Sunday morning. This is a doorway at Trinity College. I loved the dappled, complicated light I was seeing that morning!

Yesterday afternoon was a lovely sunny fall day, with a low sun that created interesting hard-edged shadows with a lot of crispness It would have made outdoors portraiture tough, but for what I was shooting at the University of Toronto campus it was perfect.

Another image from Taylor Creek Park. Shooting the Helios 44 wide open gave a soft effect that I quite like for a lot of the plant

This image was created in Taylor Creek Park, no far from where we live in East York. For much of the last few days it has been warm and sunny, but it is still autumn.

It wasn’t the nicest weather in Ann Arbor for the FPP meet-up, so getting into the covered arcade was a nice break.

Here is another image from the recent Film Photography Podcast Meet-up in Ann Arbor. Thanks again to our tour guide Heather Gardner for taking us on a photowalk that included a fascinating college campus, including this impressive library. I had barely enough light to shoot handheld (1/15th of a second).

I have probably mentioned this before, but my own theory of photography involves images that tend to fall into three categories:
My goal as much as possible is to shoot images that fall into categories 2 and 3, and for me this image from the shore of lake Ontario last Sunday falls into category 3. The light was dramatic, and in post I heavily accentuated the drama of the light to match the emotional response I was feeling.

The first of a couple more images from my Canon P rangefinder with my Voigtlander 35mm/2.5 Color Skopar lens. While I was in the Lower Don Valley about 10 days ago a homeless person was walking in the same direction. Shooting him from the back felt like the better thing to do.

All the while there is talk but little action on transit in Toronto.
