Yesterday I went down to see the partially reopened trail in the south Don River here in Toronto. I decided to shoot my 4mm f/2,8 fisheye for the first time in a while.

The Bridge From Both Sides
A pedestrian bridge in the lower Don Valley, from both sides. Both images taken with the Sony A7ii.
The Former Don Jail
It is so nice to see a former jail become a place of healing (as part of the BridgePoint Health Centre)

Framing
I love this old railway bridge in the lower Don Valley here in Toronto. There has been a lot of rain this spring so there is lush vegetation everywhere, and I like the internal framing effect in this image.

Posing Machinery
When I saw this piece of Heavy Machinery in the Lower Don Valley, it seemed to me like it was posing

Under a Bridge In the Lower Don Valley
I was out this past Sunday morning with my Mamiya RZ67 camera. It is large, fairly heavy and really needs to be mounted on a tripod. I have recently moved away from Large Format/4×5 (you can hear my reasons why on a recent episode of MPP) and am finding that shooting this camera on a tripod gave me everything I needed for that kind of experience, without the downsides.

Underneath
Recently went for a walk at the foot of the Don River in Toronto, with the Hasselblad and the 50mm Distagon lens. Both images were shot on Rollei RPX 400 film.
No Direction Home
The first of a couple more images from my Canon P rangefinder with my Voigtlander 35mm/2.5 Color Skopar lens. While I was in the Lower Don Valley about 10 days ago a homeless person was walking in the same direction. Shooting him from the back felt like the better thing to do.

Reclaimed
I keep get drawn back to this disused railroad in the Don Valley in Toronto. Apparently it has only been about 6 years since it was last used, but it doesn’t take long for nature to start reclaiming it.
