It has been three days since the big storm in Toronto.
I was downtown in the Dundas and Spadina area this morning. Lots of sun, and lots of snow, as the clean up continues.
All images taken with my Sony a7ii body and Voigtlander 15mm f/4,5 Superwide Heliar lens.
Out today with friends in the snow here in Toronto. I pointed my iPhone down one alley and came up with this image.
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.
This past Saturday morning while out on the Toronto Photography Walks latest outing I saw a couple of spots with metal objects sticking out of the snow that I found interesting.
It’s been over a year. I have been posting images elsewhere, but as so many corporate services like Facebook become increasingly problematic, I need to revitalize my photo blog, so expect much more frequent image posting!
Recently there was a film photowalk on a rather wintery day in Toronto. I was out with my nearly sixty year old Zenit 3M SLR with my 44 Helios lens. The viewfinder quickly got wet/ obscured in the snow, and it was very hard to focus. Not much was sharp that day!
I decided to post three more images from Taylor Creek Park, again taken with my Olympus OM-1 on Eastman Double-X film. In terms of the brief sunshine I was in the right place at the right time!
Hard to get the contrast and tone right; hope I’m close. This is a challenging negative.

Ilford HP5+ film developed in LegacyPro MicX developer
The first of likely a few posts from Whistler (once I develop my film this weekend). I was at a meeting this past week in Whistler, B.C. I had an amazing view from my hotel window, and took more than a couple of images at various times of today in various lighting conditions. Winter light to my eyes often has a pewter-like tone, like it did when I took this image.

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.
