Back to the Trees

Today I am posting another tree image, from the Beaches. Later this summer some of my tree photography will be featured in an online magazine so I am thrilled about that. Stay tuned for more details!

Cat and Mouse With The Light

On Saturday morning this past weekend I back in the Beaches, “playing cat and mouse with the light” as I described it in a Facebook post. The light changed moment by moment, from mundane to magical and back again. This was one of the better moments 🙂

Ravine Path

Two more from Glen Stewart Park in the Beaches. I will have to return to this location at various times in the spring and summer as the view changes. Both images taken with Hasselblad 500C/M, 50mm/4 Distagon lens on TMax 100 film. Toned in post

Didn’t Wait

When out last Saturday in the ravine near the Beaches I was waiting to take a photograph of the fence line, waiting for the boy to get out of frame as he walked by, but it looked interesting with him in frame, so I snapped the shutter.

High Contrast

This image taken at the Beaches seemed to work better for me cropped and with higher contrast, to make the horizon line a bit indistinct.

Changing Gear

I finally broke down and got a Hasselblad. Because I am on a self-imposed new gear diet for 2016, the only way to make this happen was to sell some gear. It was a difficult decision, but I think the Hassy and I will get along just fine 🙂

Revisiting a Negative

This image from an early winter morning at the shores of Lake Ontario in February 2014 is from a roll I scanned with my older scanner; I was not happy with how they looked, but recently I rescanned with my new scanner. Much happier now 🙂
