Dora on the streetcar

Posted on June 30, 2016 by The Lazy Photographer

Another photo shot with the X Pro 2. I got lucky in that as I was framing up this shot the person on the streetcar decided to stick her head out the window. I think that really made the shot … Continue reading →

Alleyway Benz

Posted on June 28, 2016 by The Lazy Photographer

I shot this with the X Pro 2, sporting the 16mm f1.4 lens on it. I shot in aperture @ f8 and let the camera select the ISO and shutter speed. I set the camera to auto ISO with a … Continue reading →

Food truck at night

Posted on June 26, 2016 by The Lazy Photographer

I shot this one with the Fujifilm X Pro 2, sporting the 16mm f1.4 lens. Here’s an odd thing, though. I shot this at f4 and 1/60th of a second, which is pretty much the same settings I’d use with … Continue reading →

Hudson’s on Queen

Posted on June 25, 2016 by The Lazy Photographer

I noticed this slim wedge of light cutting across Queen Street and riding up the wall of the Bay and knew it could make a nice shot, with the right subject caught in that narrow wedge. Problem was: cars, cars … Continue reading →

North of Brooklyn

Posted on June 23, 2016 by The Lazy Photographer

When I walked up the side street to photograph this sign, I knew I needed something else in the photo to add interest. A sign alone doesn’t make for a very engaging subject; well, not most of the time, anyway. … Continue reading →

Silhouettes at Ryerson

Posted on June 22, 2016 by The Lazy Photographer

I think any street photographer worth his/her salt can’t help but enjoy silhouettes and deep shadows. Photographers have been exploiting light and shadow this way for many decades. For me, looking for good light and shadow play is almost second … Continue reading →

Face of the faceless

Posted on June 20, 2016 by The Lazy Photographer

I remember this walk. It was about 16 kms long. I didn’t really get any shots I was happy with until the last third of the walk. Then it all started to click. With this one I raised the camera … Continue reading →

Colourful Queen Street

Posted on June 18, 2016 by The Lazy Photographer

I shot this today with the Fujifilm X100T. I picked one up for three day “try before you buy” promotion. No charge. So far it’s a pretty cool camera; however, the auto focus is a tad slow compared to the … Continue reading →
