This morning as an experiment I tried an ICM (intentional camera movement) portrait of my friend Ori. The exposure was 0.8 seconds and I moved the camera in my hands. I quite like the results!
Experimental Portrait
Hand Tinting Revisited
I am getting back into hand tinting, but using a digital workflow. Using an iPad, the Procreate app, and an Apple Pencil, I find the process of laying down digital “pigment” and then thinning it out to get the desired level of transparency to be very reminiscent of how I used to do it with darkroom prints and photo oils.
People at the Art Gallery of Ontario
I love photographing people at the AGO (Art Galley on Ontario)!
All images taken with my Sony a6100 and 7Artisans 10mm f/3.5 lens.
At the Waterworks Food Garden This Morning
I really do like this building in downtown Toronto!
All images taken with my Sony a6100 and 7Artisans 10mm f/3.5 lens.
A New Year
It was a bright but chilly morning here in Toronto on January 1st. I was out with photography friends on a walk that included the University of Toronto campus. I liked the look of the clouds and the steam from the smokestack.
Silent Conversation
Looking into a hairdresser salon window, early on Christmas Eve morning. Taken with my iPhone 15.
Inside the Royal York Hotel, Toronto
Christmas is often all about colour, but these images of the interior of the Royal York Hotel decked out for Christmas felt better in black and white. Like glittering snow at night.
Both images were taken with my Sony a7ii and 28-75mm f/2.8 Tamron lens.
Allan Gardens With a New Lens
A nasty cold/flu bug has severely curtailed my shooting and posting recently, but I did get out this past Friday to Allan Gardens here in Toronto, shooting with my Sony a7ii and new TTArtisan 75mm f/1.5 lens. This lens will take some learning, but I love the look!
Snow at The Beaches
At the Beaches this morning; snow added a frosting of atmosphere.
All images taken with my Sony a7ii and Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 lens. Both the carea and the lens have good weather sealing, so they are my go to combo on a day like today.
Christmas Lights
The first of likely a few holiday-themed posts.
We got our Christmas lights put up the other day, and I decided to di out one of my old cross-star filters to get a retro-cheesy look, and I was quite happy with what I got. I used my Sony a6100 and TTArtisan 50mm f/1.2 lens, with the filter.
