I went up to my rooftop to capture the sunset tonight using my GF 20-35mm f/4 lens on my GFX 50S II. I was initially disappointed with the cloud cover, but I think the image I produced wasn't half bad in the end. #torontophotography #sunset #moodysky #cityscape #fujifilm
One face for all of them. The face of Jason Churchill representing all firemen. The statue is called Undaunted. “Brothers who stand together cannot fall alone.” #firefightermemorial #jasonchurchill #bronzesculpture #mountpleasantcemetery #pentax645
I was playing with geometric photography yesterday. #minimalphotography #geometry #fineartphotography #shadowplay #gfx50sii
I mistakenly said I had a 7artisans 100mm f/2.8 macro lens; it's actually a TTartisans lens, and I am trying to find a lens profile for it. #minimalphotography #fineartphotography #solitude #muskokachairs #gfx50sii
Another day, another walk with GFX50Sii, today was a walk in the beaches with the 7artisans 100mm macro lens. Third time out with it, too much vignetting, it's getting traded in. #TheBeaches #Toronto #GFX50SII #LakeOntario #torontolife
I enjoy playing with both my new-to-me GF 20-35 f/4 on my GFX50Sii and sci-fi edits. I call my infrared Lightroom preset, Life on Mars. #sciencefiction #cinematic #subwayphotography #futuristic #ttc
Picked up the GF 20-35mm f/4 recently and took it up to a midtown Toronto rooftop for sunset — first real outing with it. Mainly wanted to see how it behaved pointed straight into the sun. Better than I expected. #FujifilmGFX #GF2035 #GFX50SII #MediumFormat #TorontoPhotography
Second walk with my new-to-me Pentax 150mm 645 lens. #StreetPhotography #PK645 #MediumFormat #GFX50SII #PentaxLens
The city keeps building. I just watch from here. #torontophotography #cityscape #moodygrams #skyline #pk645 #gfx50sii #150mmf35
I received my PK645-to-GFX adaptor today and had to take my new-to-me Pentax 645 150mm f/3.5 for a quick walk to try it out. #streetphotography #streetportrait #blackandwhitephotography #torontophotography #pentax645 #gfx50sii
A whole city, framed and kept at a distance. Experimenting with my new 20-35 medium format lens. My rooftop in the midday sun. #architecturephotography #minimalphotography #torontophotography #brutalism #gfx50sii
This morning I was up before the city. #torontophotography #bluehour #cityscape #rooftopview #skyline

On my morning commute to Humber River Hospital, I snapped this image on my iPhone. I like the sci-fi edit; it makes me think it's a photo on a distant planet in the future. #sciencefiction #cinematic #subwayphotography #futuristic #ttc

I was experimenting with how low I could go (shutter speed) hand-held and still get a usable shot. These images were shot with my GFX 50s II, using 6 1/2 stops of IBIS and a shutter speed of 1/2 second with the kit lens. #torontophotography #nightphotography #longexposure #gfx50sii #blogto
Found them in the tall grass, mid-argument. Bodies made of ribbon and nobody calm. I put the frames in the order they scared me. #photography #sculpture #infrared
