While running an errand downtown in Toronto last week I took the time to do some photography, and tried intentionally blurring people with a slow shutter speed at Union Station. Camera was my Sony a6100 and the lens was my 7Artisans 10mm f/3.5.

At the Rail Museum
The Halton Rail Museum (about an hour outside of Toronto) is run by volunteers. In a visit yesterday I saw this volunteer, in costume, a couple of minutes before he went to give a presentation to a group of visiting children.
Red
Back to images from Rosetta McClain Gardens from Sunday morning. Again, the light was dark and moody, and as a result the colours were just popping. I was especially blown away by how the reds were glowing under the dark sky.
All I did with these images as adjust the exposure a bit and add slight vignette. No colour trickery; nature did the rest!
I took all three images with my Sony a6100 and TTArtisans 27mm f/2.8 AF lens.
More “Cookie Lens” Images
I was at Allan Gardens in Toronto yesterday morning with fellow photographers, and I brought along my “cookie” lens to use on my Sony a6100 body for exterior images. Such a fun lens to use!
St. Lawrence Market on a Quiet Day
The new north building at the St. Lawrence Market is crammed and busy on the weekends. But in the middle of the week it is quiet.
Hard Shadows
Normally one tries to avoid hard shadows in portrait photography. But last Sunday, sitting by a window in coffee shop on a brilliantly sunny morning, I decided to go with the hard shadows, and go for an affect of anonymity.
Flowers After The Rain
Coming home from Camera Club in the rain last night, and knowing more rain was forecast overnight, I resolved to go out this morning and shoot black and white macro images of rain drops on flowers.
It was a bit breezy, and focus was a real challenge, but after some work in post I got three images I like.
I used my Sony a6100 body and 90mm macro lens.
Kingston Road, Near Warden
Out this morning in the Kingston Road / Warden area in Toronto / Scarborough. A neighbourhood of contrasts. My eye was drawn to the decay. All images taken with a Sony a6100 body and 7.5mm f/3.5 fisheye lens.
Sugar Beach in February
Sugar Beach in Toronto (named for being right next to a Sugar plant by Lake Ontario) has always seemed rather surrealistic, and it seemed especially so yesterday morning. Snow covered, under an overcast sky.
Both images taken with a Sony a6100 body and TTArtisans 35mm f/0.95 lens.
Starting a New Project: Toronto Postcards
I was messing around in Lightroom with an image I took of the RC Harris Water Treatment plant last week, and applied a vintage filter that reminded me of old-fashioned postcards. An a new project was born: I will be taking images of Toronto and creating vintage-style postcards. It should be fun! I took this image with my Sony A6100 and TTArtisan 23mm f/1.4 lens.
