Hey everybody,
Although winter was a bit late in the GTA it eventually did come. And now that it’s here it’s only going to get colder and colder. Growing up in BC I did not really experience a true transition of fall into winter like there is here in Ontario. Although I’m not a huge fan of the cold I’m glad I could witness it.
Everybody I meet in Ontario keeps talking about how “magical” the first snow is. I’m not sure if I’m completely won over yet. I must admit that it’s one of a kind feeling when you are cozy and warm inside, drinking a hot beverage while listening to good music, possibly even reading, while it’s snowing outside. It’s a hard feeling to beat...
So I finally bought a dSLR. After much research and searching I bought a used Nikon D90 with a 50mm lens. Besides some minor defects I’m very happy with it. It’s fun to shoot.
These next set of pictures are from my walk to work this morning. It takes me 20 minutes usually to walk. I think I doubled my travel time today. J
This is the church right down the road by my house:
This is the beauty of having a 50mm lens. You can have your desired object in focus with the entire background blurry. This is why it is so commonly used for portrait photography.
Thanks for taking the time to take a look and possibly even reading what I write. J

I really enjoyed these photos, Jay. I especially like the second to last one with the pine cone. The subtle color in the background is lovely.
ReplyDeleteThe second picture is very sweet - I love the path with the green/brown surrounded by snow. So picturesque!
ReplyDeleteNice, I really like the colors on the pine cone one!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for some snow to fall here, too bad it's not that common here :(
