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 in High Park, Toronto this morning with my Sony a6100 and 7Artisans 10mm f/3.5 lens. I discovered that if I shoot wide open at the absolute closest focussing distance I get a background blur that I wouldn’t normally associate with a super-wide lens. I like the look.
Yes I like a red filter effect equivalent in post!
All images taken with my Sony 6100 and either a TTArtisans 23mm f/1.4 or 25mm f/2.4 lens.
I could not go on my Wednesday outing this week, as life got in the way, but later in the day I did get out to Winslow Park here in Toronto.
Both images taken with my Sony a6100 body and 7Artisans 10mm f/3.5 lens.
Yesterday I was in Spadina House, an Edwardian era mansion in Toronto, now open as a museum. Fascinating interiors! Even in the context of a guided tour, with a wide lens like my Ziltrox 20mm f/2.8 on my Sony a7ii body, there are lots of possibilities for images!
Given that the mansion is presented as a snapshot in time, I wanted my images to be black and white.
I was near Union Station in Toronto around 6:40 this morning. Lovely early morning sun, and I couldn’t help accentuating in in post. Two images of the same building, both with some perspective distortion.
Both images taken with Sony a6100 body and 7Artisans 10mm f/3.5 lens.
I have lived in Toronto since the early 1980’s and I have never really been inside the old city hall. That was rectified yesterday morning.
I was downtown here in Toronto yesterday for the Classic Camera Revival Podcast 10 year anniversary photo walk. I was shooting again with my vintage Soviet-era Industar 61 L/D 55mm f/2.8 lens. I love how this lens is very sharp, but still renders in a pleasing way. This scene of reflections caught my eye.
A lot of colour (and heat!) at the Salsa street festival in Toronto yesterday! All images taken with my Sony a7ii and Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 lens.
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!
