Colour in Kipling

The area around Kipling Avenue in Toronto is not the prettiest, but that is where I was yesterday, and did find one spot that wasn’t dreary, and of course it was a flower macro.

Hard Shadows

Normally one tries to avoid hard shadows in portrait photography. But last Sunday, sitting by a window in coffee shop on a brilliantly sunny morning, I decided to go with the hard shadows, and go for an affect of anonymity.

Couple By the Window

Seen yesterday morning at OCAD here in Toronto. I didn’t even have time to really focus and had to guess. I was close enough to be able to sharpen in it post.

Stairs Into The Ravine

I have a list of photographic ideas and locations I want to try, and on that list is the stairs into the north end of the Glen Stewart Ravine in East Toronto, shot with my 4mm circular fish-eye lens, so that was my outing yesterday morning. Here are two black and white images, along with a faux-infrared treatment.

Flowers After The Rain

Coming home from Camera Club in the rain last night, and knowing more rain was forecast overnight, I resolved to go out this morning and shoot black and white macro images of rain drops on flowers.

It was a bit breezy, and focus was a real challenge, but after some work in post I got three images I like.

I used my Sony a6100 body and 90mm macro lens.

Kingston Road, Near Warden

Out this morning in the Kingston Road / Warden area in Toronto / Scarborough. A neighbourhood of contrasts. My eye was drawn to the decay. All images taken with a Sony a6100 body and 7.5mm f/3.5 fisheye lens.

The Claw

This past weekend I was in Presqu’ile Point Park in Ontario. Ther was a lot of large driftwood and leaning trees by the shores of Lake Ontario in the Park, and the branches in this image reminded me of a claw reaching out over the water.
