On a clear evening at the Beaches, the waters of Lake Ontario take on a lovely intense blue shade, quite unlike the colour in the morning or during the rest of the day. The only changes to this image in post were contrast and an exposure level adjustment

Another image from my walk at the Beaches last Thursday evening. Thinning crowds and empty spaces.

I was in the Glen Stewart Ravine in the Beaches last weekend. Everything is so green and alive! (Although the tree stump in the second image leaves me wishing I could have seen the tree when it was alive). All images taken with Hasselblad 500C/M, 50mm/4 Distagon lens on Kodak Ektar 100 film.
One more image of the Beaches last Saturday, but this one created using my iPhone and the Hipstamatic app. While most of my posts will continue to be film-based, I will likely continue to post more iPhone-created images. At the end of the day, it’s about the image, not the gear.
The light down at the Beaches yesterday morning was incredible, as was the scene. Very cold, but dead calm, allowing the gathering of mist on the water. This man was excited by the scene, as he raced from spot to spot capturing the moment on his smartphone. Different gear, but a kindred spirit.

Writing this on a cloudy Saturday morning, I am thinking back to a very sunny Sunday morning a couple of weeks ago at the Beaches. I love the early morning angle of the sun! This is cropped from the original half-frame image, as someone edged into frame at the last minute.

It was about 9 am this past Sunday at the Beaches, with the promise of a very hot day already playing out. The Beach Volleyball players were already beginning to appear.

One of my images from this past Sunday morning at the Beaches. What I remember about this shot is that I had to spend some time before clearing the litter out of frame. People can be such pigs 😦

In addition to shooting the 1860’s lens last Sunday in the Beaches, I also shot a comparatively more modern lens on the Speed Graphic: my 127mm/4.7 Ektar. I need to spend more time with this lens!

Back to the Toronto Beaches, but this time in the evening. This man was enjoying his surroundings.
