A Foreboding Sunny Morning

I was out at the Beaches in Toronto on Sunday morning. The sun was bright and dazzling, the sky a cheerful blue.

But give the current circumstances given the chaos south of the border in the US, I cannot help but see foreboding in every image.

TTC Fisheye

I was out with photography friends this week, in the northwest portion of the TTC Line One subway. Iwas shooting with my 4mm f/2.8 spherical fisheye lens, and I like the results I got.

Sugar Beach in February

Sugar Beach in Toronto (named for being right next to a Sugar plant by Lake Ontario) has always seemed rather surrealistic, and it seemed especially so yesterday morning. Snow covered, under an overcast sky.

Both images taken with a Sony a6100 body and TTArtisans 35mm f/0.95 lens.

Colleges # 1

A few days ago I was out on a photo walk with friends at the University of Toronto. It was a cold winter day so we did most of our shooting indoors. Here are the first two images

At a Coffee Shop

I was at a coffee shop yesterday (for a photo print exchange event as it was), and this person was sitting near a window, and the light was perfect. The goalie mask in the background was a problem. I ended up with an “Alas, poor Yorik” moment.

Colour at the Crosswalk

I normally tend to black and white imagery, but this morning the intense blues and oranges of the crosswalk at about 6:45 am really struck me. Also, there was no traffic so I was able to stand in the middle of the road to quickly get the shot with my iPhone.
