Sun and Wind

Last Monday at Bluffer’s Park I noticed these plants. I liked the backlighting on them but the glare of the sun plus the breeze moving the plants around made for tricky shooting and it took a few attempts to get these two images using my Nikon F4 and 28mm lens, shooting on Rollei RPX film

Don’ forget to check out this week’s episode of My Photography Podcast, featuring an interview with pinhole photographer Moni Smith!

Reflections

I’ve always enjoyed the distorted reflections of old buildings in new ones. This is a reflection of Old City Hall in Toronto, with a flag in front.

Toronto Harbor Commisson

On Saturday morning the light was bright and sunny, and my eye was caught by the Toronto Harbor Commission building. I like the way the sun was hitting this proud old building, surrounded by modern steel and glass.

Patience

Another Whistler image. It seems to me (a non-skier) that a large part of skiing (at least at a busy resort) involves waiting in line. It was a very long line, but these skiers seemed to be taking it patiently.

Grimy

Today, an image from this past Saturday’s Toronto Film Shooter’s meet-up at the Lakeshore. The winter so far this year in Toronto has been grey and grimy from a photographic point of view.
