This image is from a shuttered building in Elora. My eyes were drawn to the lines and the various textures.

Boats by the Water
Today (in addition to changing the theme on my blog) I am posting an image from a recent walk on the Beaches, near the lifeguard building. I have always found these boats interesting.

Construction Against the Sky
Recently I was in east Toronto somewhere on Kingston Road and passed this construction site. I liked he look of it against the sky.

Into the Sun
Another image from my first roll shot in the Voigtlander Bessa 66 medium format folder. On Sunday morning the best views of Philosopher’s Walk on the U of T campus seemed to be straight into the sun, which usually results in a lot of flare. I placed the sun behind a tree branch to try to minimize it, and I do like the results.

Sharp Shadows
This past Sunday was a glorious winter day: bright and clear, with a dazzling crystal light: like being inside the diamond. The sharp lines and shadows that would have made an outdoor portrait session very difficult made other kinds of images possible.
This was the first time I had shot on the Voigtlander Bessa 66 120 format folding camera, given to me by my friend David Kent. This model has the amazing Color Skopar lens, and I am very impressed with its sharpness.

Chinese Garden in Black and White
Another image of the Chinese Garden in Vancouver, this time in black and white. As mentioned in yesterday’s post it was getting dark quickly, and the Hasselblad is not known for being hand-holdable at slow speeds.
