A Sucker For Stairs
I love shooting stairs, especially with wide-angle lenses. This was the view yesterday morning from near Casa Loma in Toronto.

A New Lens
As part of my gear rationalization project I traded away my Voigtlander 15mm/4.5 (not without some regret) and as part of the deal got a Nikkor AI-S 20mm/2.8 lens in return. It arrived this week and I had a chance to put it through its paces this morning. I think this lens and I well get along fine. 🙂

Bridge At Night
I had a few minutes to spare before my first piano lesson last evening, and this bridge was in the neighbourhood. so I took a few quick shots with my iPhone and the Hipstamatic app. I’ll need to come back another evening with a film camera.
Wide Angle and Slide Film
The light in Toronto this January has not been dazzling; even this mainly overcast day was brighter than most. The location is the vintage train yard beside the Steamwhistle Brewing Company location in Toronto.

Where You Find It
Another working trip to Calgary this week; I had my DSLR with me to do a portrait for a co-worker, but no real time for photography otherwise. I did notice an interesting light pattern in my hotel room though. You shoot it where you find it.

The Arch
I had never gotten around to shooting this arch before; I will have to go back and try a few different angles with it. I suspect the perfect angle would involve me standing the the middle of a busy intersection. Not safe in this city.

Testing My New F4
My new (to me) Nikon F4 body arrived this week, so I now have one to replace the one that was stolen. I went out yesterday, despite the gloomy light to shoot a test roll. I did’t have any 400 speed film so I shot a roll of Svema Foto 100, which made for some very slow shutter speeds handheld, but thankfully wide-angle lenses such as the Tamron SP 17mm/3.5 I was shooting are more forgiving. 🙂
