Ratray Marsh

I took my Fujifilm X100F out for a spin last weekend at the Ratray Marshes near Port Credit. It’s been over a year since I last used this camera and I was wondering if I should sell it. My experience with it on the weekend was positive, and I was reminded how simplicity can free your creativity. The size and relative ease-of-use of this camera allowed me to recall how much I enjoy shooting the 35mm perspective (well except when I saw deer in the distance and could barely make them out). Seeing the Fujifilm JPEGS on the back of the camera in vivid colour was equally inspiring. Hopefully this experience will get me to shoot more with this camera or at least bring it alongside my main camera.

The Bluffs

I went to a Meetup in Toronto for portrait photography out at the Scarborough Bluffs this past Monday. I didn’t know what to expect because the forecast was calling for likely rain. The shoot ended up involving harsh light, bright poppy colours, and lots of shadows. At the mercy of the weather and other beachgoers, I had to work off the cuff and think through the feeling of the shoot and make do with what I was given. I ended up really loving the rocky beach and lush colours.

Cloud Forest

I'm taking advantage of the lull in my schedule to revisit my Australasia photos. I still have a ton to share and it's tricky doing it in a way that doesn't overwhelm. This photo set shows the Cloud Forest observatory, one of two observatories at Singapore’s Gardens By The Bay. The best time to visit is in the late afternoon when you can also catch the Supertree Grove light show at 7:45 p.m.
