Happy Canada Day

July 1, 2015 by Created by RCW

It’s time again to express my gratitude for everything that my home & native land has given me, and to wish you all–Canadian or not, here or abroad–a safe and wonderful year.

My only wish is that you all have the good fortune I have experienced and know the love that I know.

Peace be with you all.

Winging it

One of the hazards of taking the camera out for one reason is that it never goes back into the closet.

Taking a cue from the deliciously mild temperatures but dazzling sun yesterday, I took a wander over to see my grandparents at a nearby cemetery. On the way, I wandered through a small dose of wetlands to find some feathered friends.

Tanked at the aquarium

I recently signed up for a 3-week photography workshop at Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada in Toronto, which basically means running around gob-smacked at coral reefs, sharks, jelly fish and kilometer after kilometer of living colour.

Here are some picks from Week 2.

Mostly birds at the beach

After a few hours of radiation sickness (aka sunshine) wandering the boardwalk and nearby woods along Lake Ontario, I managed to get a really good shot of the evasive red-winged blackbird.

I say evasive simply because this particular species would much rather spend its time strafing my head than sit still for me to take its picture.

Enjoy.

Lake Ontario

April 15, 2015 by Created by RCW

While waiting for Windows to update my computer (ugh), I was left without my laptop and so decided to take advantage of the springtime weather (finally!!!) and nearby beach to do a bit of photography in east Toronto.

: The birds hung close to the trees today

: The light breeze made for amazing visual effects

: When colour fails you, go to b/w

: The light and water waves danced on the stones

: A terrible photo but my first fish for Lake Ontario

: Had to get the canonical v-winged gull image

: Couldn’t pass up on it…got a Rolex and a Timex

: It was like the lake bottom was alive

: These little guys were out in profusion today

A mentor…

Toronto Marlies vs Lehigh Valley Phantoms

March 12, 2015 by Created by RCW

With a Toronto Marlies season seat holder event coming up next week at the Hockey Hall of Fame, I took my camera to last night’s game against Lehigh Valley Phantoms (AHL farm team for Philadelphia Flyers) to attempt some autograph-worthy photos.

Here are some of the better ones.
