This image from High Park, Toronto last weekend was taken on Svema Foto 100 film; this film has a great look but its very thing and flexible polyester base makes it among the most challenging to get loaded onto a film reel for developing. Much cursing in the dark resulted.

I like the look of buildings in bright morning sunlight: angles and edges look especially sharp and defined. This is Metropolitan United Church in downtown Toronto.

I love the extreme perspective that the Nikkor 20m/2.8 lens gives to even the most commonplace of structures

The combination of the glove and the spike on the fence caught my eye.

One last image from my trip to the icy shores of Lake Ontario last Sunday. At one point I noticed a brave kayaker paddling along the shore, so I scrambled to the best location I could get, put down the camera/tripod, composed the image, and waited for the kayak to come into the frame.

One more of the Ice in the beaches yesterday. One of the most interesting things was the sound the water made hitting the ice covered rocks. A very distinctive sound!

It was a beautiful, dazzling and cold morning today by the shores of Lake Ontario in the Toronto Beaches. If it gets cold enough, the ice is always interesting here.

Going back to Bluffer’s Park Beach on January 1st. I was drawn by the reflections on the water further ashore, left by larger waves.
