Today, two more ICM (Intentional Camera Movement) portraits, both taken at the same meetup at the Only Cafe In Toronto.
Both were taken with my Sony a7ii body, and Voigtlander 15mm f/4.5 Superwide Heliar.
Two More ICM Portraits

Inside the Royal York Hotel, Toronto
Christmas is often all about colour, but these images of the interior of the Royal York Hotel decked out for Christmas felt better in black and white. Like glittering snow at night.
Both images were taken with my Sony a7ii and 28-75mm f/2.8 Tamron lens.
Allan Gardens With a New Lens
A nasty cold/flu bug has severely curtailed my shooting and posting recently, but I did get out this past Friday to Allan Gardens here in Toronto, shooting with my Sony a7ii and new TTArtisan 75mm f/1.5 lens. This lens will take some learning, but I love the look!
Snow at The Beaches
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.
Water Droplets In the Morning
Seen yesterday in Mount Pleasant Cemetery in the morning on a lovely day.
The Only Cafe Portrait Project: Frank Eberdt
Recently I had the pleasure of meeting up with photographer Frank Eberdt at the Only Cafe for my ongoing portrait project.
As always for this project I used my Sony a7ii body, and Helios 44 58mm f/2 lens.
Some Telephoto Work
It is easy to get in a rut, and my happy place always seems to be wide-angle and normal lenses. So I am going to try working telephoto lenses more into the mix.
This morning I was back at the Toronto Beaches, with my Sony a7ii body, and my Pentax Takumar 135mm f/3.5. A lovely, smooth and compact lens!
Another Image Using the Slit Filter
This may be may favourite image so far using the technique of covering the lens except for on narrow slit (vertically in this case). To me it feels impressionist. The lens was an old Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 on my Sony a7ii, via adapter.
Only Cafe Portrait Series: Rob Campbell
It seems there is always room for another image in this long term project. This morning it was Rob Campbell’s turn.
As always the camera was my Sony a7ii, and the lens my 60 year-old Helios 44/2 58mm f/2.
A Different Look
I was in High Park (Toronto) yesterday morning, using a photographic technique involving setting up two pieces of black cardboard in front of the lens, leaving a small slit in-between them. The result (depending on the distance between the subject and background of the image) can be a crazy bokeh effect. I’ll be exploring this more!
Camera was my Sony a7ii with an Olympus MD 50 mm f/1.4 lens, with the aforementioned slit in front.
