I don’t do a lot of flower photography, but when I went to Allan Gardens last weekend in addition to my film gear I brought my Nikon D7100 DSLR with my 55mm/3.5 Micro-Nikkor lens. What stuck me about this scene was the contrast between the beauty of the flowers and the grimy background.
The first of likely a few posts from Whistler (once I develop my film this weekend). I was at a meeting this past week in Whistler, B.C. I had an amazing view from my hotel window, and took more than a couple of images at various times of today in various lighting conditions. Winter light to my eyes often has a pewter-like tone, like it did when I took this image.

Three images from my visit to Allan Gardens in Toronto last weekend. A light dusting of snow made for an interesting scene.

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

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. 🙂

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.
