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.
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.
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.

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!
