It was a rather busy Church Street for Halloween this year!

More Aperture Slit Images
I am enjoying this technique!
Water Droplets In the Morning
Seen yesterday in Mount Pleasant Cemetery in the morning on a lovely day.
The Endless Stairwell
Last evening I was at a show opening at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Toronto at the invitation of a friend. The building is an old factory, and still has that vibe; he showed me a stairwell that went nowhere and I thought it was the perfect spot for a portrait, so out came the iPhone.
Store Windows
Last Sunday morning I was out in Little India here in Toronto. The light was soft and on the grey side, but I liked what it was doing for metal and glass, so I focussed on close-up images, mainly in store windows. I was shooting mostly wide open, and often dirty and/or scratched window glass gave me an effect I like.
For all images I used my Sony a6100 and TTArtisan 35mm f/1.4 lens.
Back to McLean’s Auto Wreckers
Yesterday I went with some photography friends to McLean’s Auto Wreckers, about 90 minutes outside of Toronto. This is my second visit (I went for the first time a couple of years ago), so to change things up this time around, I focussed on the interiors of derelict cars, decaying silently, being reclaimed by nature.
It felt like Urban Exploration in abandoned buildings, but on a much smaller scale.
I took all these images with my Sony a6100 body, and 7Artisans 10mm f/3.5 lens.
Collage
Something different: this is a composite image using three different source images.
Storefront Reflections
I went downtown here in Toronto early yesterday morning; it was on the chilly side. This image of a storefront on Yonge street, filled with reflections as well turned out to be my favourite. I like the double exposure feel.
The Only Cafe Portrait Project: Frank Eberdt
Recently I had the pleasure of meeting up with photographer Frank Eberdt at the Only Cafe for my ongoing portrait project.
As always for this project I used my Sony a7ii body, and Helios 44 58mm f/2 lens.
Some Telephoto Work
It is easy to get in a rut, and my happy place always seems to be wide-angle and normal lenses. So I am going to try working telephoto lenses more into the mix.
This morning I was back at the Toronto Beaches, with my Sony a7ii body, and my Pentax Takumar 135mm f/3.5. A lovely, smooth and compact lens!
