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!

Williamson Park Ravine
Yesterday morning I was out with friends in the WIlliamson Park Ravine in the eastern part of Toronto. The tree canopy is quite dense here, but sunlight will poke through the shadows creating an almost spotlight effect. All images taken with my Sony a7ii body and an old Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 lens.
Stairs Into The Ravine
I have a list of photographic ideas and locations I want to try, and on that list is the stairs into the north end of the Glen Stewart Ravine in East Toronto, shot with my 4mm circular fish-eye lens, so that was my outing yesterday morning. Here are two black and white images, along with a faux-infrared treatment.
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.
A View From a Pedestrian Bridge
Out yesterday with photography friends, and as we crossed over the pedestrian bridge near the Pape/Gerrard area I too this panoramic image of the neighbourhood.
A Foreboding Sunny Morning
I was out at the Beaches in Toronto on Sunday morning. The sun was bright and dazzling, the sky a cheerful blue.
But give the current circumstances given the chaos south of the border in the US, I cannot help but see foreboding in every image.
TTC Fisheye
I was out with photography friends this week, in the northwest portion of the TTC Line One subway. Iwas shooting with my 4mm f/2.8 spherical fisheye lens, and I like the results I got.
Metal and Snow
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.
Colour at the Crosswalk
I normally tend to black and white imagery, but this morning the intense blues and oranges of the crosswalk at about 6:45 am really struck me. Also, there was no traffic so I was able to stand in the middle of the road to quickly get the shot with my iPhone.
At the Library
In a day of pervasive right wing propaganda and attacks on schools, public libraries have never been more important. Knowledge is an important weapon for fighting back!
Last week I was at the Metro Reference Library here in a Toronto. It is an amazing space, well suited for a fisheye lens!
