To all the people who are in love or looking for love, Happy Valentine's Day :). The best things come when least expected, love is one of them.
The Beautiful Toronto Project is alive and well. I've been absent for a few months because of school but now, it's time to roll out some more photos! This time I'm back in Casa Loma! Visited the castle one more time with a friend and took some more pictures. Had to go back because I just recently bought an ultra-wide angle lens for my camera at that time and Casa Loma was the perfect place to test out its capabilities. Got some very interesting wide angle shots that's for sure. It got even better when we found the entrance to the underground tunnel of the castle. Very creepy pathway but it was very exciting. Click on the images above to see the rest of the collection. Hope you like the photos I have for you! More photos are on their way so stay tuned :)
My last post was way back in September. I've been very busy with school since then and haven't even able to take any new photos. But all that is now over and I'm certainly enjoying the first days of my winter break :). So to kick things off, I will release all outstanding photos that I have from the summer in the coming days. I'm super excited to get out on photo walks and take new pictures. Now that it's winter, there are lots of very nice photos that can be taken in and around the beautiful city of Toronto. So for starters, here are some more photos from the Roundhouse. The Roundhouse is a former train roundhouse that is now turned to a park where several cool looking trains are kept on display and this is also where the Steam Whistle brewery is located. So here they are! Hope you like them =). Click any of the pictures above to see the entire collection.
Here's another update for the Beautiful Toronto Project! I originally intended to go to the Distillery District and take photos there but I accidentally took a wrong turn and ended up in the city's industrial harbour area. Factories, constructions, and even parks are found here. So I took a stroll in this area and took photographs. Click on the photo above to see what I ended up taking pictures of! Hope you like them as much as I do! Until next time. More photos are being edited and are on their way.
Beautiful Toronto Project is updated again! The fourth batch of photos is finally out and this time I focused on Casa Loma, the only castle in Canada. Learned quite a lot of things about the structure during my visit but more importantly, I took some photographs so I can show you some parts of the castle. It's a very famous Toronto landmark, visited by thousands of tourists from all over the world every year. Enjoy the photos! It's not a lot of photos so I'm planning on going back soon before school starts and try out my new super wide angle lens in the castle to get some more interesting interior shots. Until next time, keep shooting! =D Please click on the photo above to go straight to the Casa Loma collection.
UPDATE: There's also a YouTube version of the Slideshow. You can view it by clicking play below. =)
I'm super excited! I recently purchased the famous Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 Ultra Wide Angle lens! The lens cost me $820 CAD new and even though it's a lot of money, it's money well spent. The Canon version (10-22mm) is selling for over $900 before taxes and the build quality, optical quality, and even the aperture is well below the standards of Tokina. The Tokina lens is all metal (barrel) whereas the Canon is plastic. Tokina's optical quality is on par if not much better than the Canon counterpart. And most importantly, to me at least, is the fact that the Tokina lens is a CONSTANT APERTURE lens meaning my maximum aperture stays at f/2.8 throughout the zoom range! Compare that to Canon's variable aperture setup starting at f/3.5 at the wide end of the lens at 10mm and stopping down to f/5.6 at the "tele" end of the lens at 22mm! So overall I'm very happy with the Tokina lens and cannot wait to bring this lens outside and take some great wide angle shots of the city! This Tokina lens is winning! As for a test location, I'll probably go back to Casa Loma here in Toronto and capture some low-light wide angle interior shots of the castle. The castle had lots of dark but great looking rooms =D. Excited! Now all I need is a day-off from work =D
