Dreamy Eye

Location: London, Ontario ~ Camera: Canon T2i ~ Lens: Canon 18-135mm f3.5-5.6 with a 10x Vivitar macro adapter

My three month old neice's left eye, shot on Christmas morning in front of her grandfather's large window overlooking the backyard. I quite like the dreamy look, it almost looks like some kind of Photoshop filter, but it's straight from the camera.

Advertising at Night

Location: Yonge & Roslin, Toronto ~ Camera: Canon T2i ~ Lens: Canon 18-135mm f3.5-5.6

For the past month or so this sign have been catching my eye every night on my way home from work. I don't know why, maybe the contrast of the brightly lit white against the dark sky. I finally got around to taking its picture, and I quite like it in a mundane "Daily Views" sort of way.

Open Hydrant

Location: Senlac & Bevdale, Toronto ~ Camera: Canon T2i ~ Lens: Canon 18-135mm f3.5-5.6

This hydrant has been open like this for a few days now. I'm waiting for some birds to move in.

Winter is Coming (and where's Waldo?)

Location: My Front Lawn, Toronto ~ Camera: Canon T2i ~ Lens: Canon 55-250mm f4-5.6

A squirrel was eating some maple keys from the tree in my front yard, and as I was taking his picture I discovered this composition in my viewfinder. I like the warmth of the sun on the tree trunk juxtapositioned with the droopy, wintery maple keys.

Location: My Front Lawn, Toronto ~ Camera: Canon T2i ~ Lens: Canon 55-250mm f4-5.6

I got several photos where the squirrel is framed much better, but the extreme busyness of this picture, coupled with the "Where's Waldo" aspect, makes this one my favourite.

Fire Hydrant at Night

Location: Finch & Grantbrook, Toronto ~ Camera: Canon T2i ~ Lens: Canon 18-135mm f3.5-5.6

I love the look of fire hydrants. They always add a bit of character to whatever photo they're in, and sometimes they can be the saving grace of what might otherwise be a pretty boring shot. My favourite part of this picture is how a car that's just out of frame is illuminating the hydrant.
