I had the opportunity to join a group of photographers for a special shoot. We arranged to enter the show before it was open to the public, and we were permitted to use tripods. The group gave pointers before the event to use a middle f-stop (f5.6 or f8)  to ensure you get the entire [...]

I'd never heard of the annual Zombiewalk, but what a feast for a photographer! While the zombies are busy shambling around and eating brains, they're also very eager to have their photos taken. This is rightly so, since the creativity they put into their makeup and costumes is remarkable. I took a tip from the [...]

Fall in Ontario is a beautiful time of the year that many Ontarians might take for granted. When I lived briefly in British Columbia as a student, many people I met were from Ontario, and invariably, the thing they missed most were the autumn colours.

One of our first getaways together, my girlfriend and I spent a lovely summer weekend at Emily Provincial Park. The forest and moon photo was a composite of two separate photos.

This was the first time both my girlfriend and I had booked a holiday at a tropical resort. We picked Mexico for a good reason, that it had more opportunities to leave the resort for a day and soak in some local culture. In fact, the two days we spent off the resort were the most [...]

A photo meetup group led me to an annual parade unlike any other I've ever seen in Toronto. The Winter Solstice parade takes place on December 21, they shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. To celebrate the coming of longer days, the parade culminated in a large fire and fire performers. The [...]
