I saw a great cat photograph on Google+ which motivated me to get out with my camera on Saturday, looking for cats out and about in the neighbourhood.

I met Denise, and just love her one orange paw, isn’t she adorable?:

This is James, he lives in the same house as Denise:

I also met a puppy (+ few more cat photos):

On Sunday Noah and I headed out to do some errands, at Whole Foods, in Yorkville, and then over to Yonge Street:

Kept it light, and just took my old Canon 5D and the Canon 50 f1.4 lens:

Captured a few shots of Alice on the back deck when we returned home:

A collection of nature photography images I’ve captured over the last few weeks.

(Equipment: Canon 1DMkIV with either the Canon 85 1.2L, Canon 100 f2.8 Macro or the Lensbaby Composer lens.)

This image was shot wide open with the Lensbaby composer:

This collection of images was captured with the Lensbaby Composer:

Discovered this hornet on my deck last Friday afternoon. Could tell he wasn’t long for this world, as he couldn’t fly:

The next morning I found him on the deck, he became my still-life subject for the weekend:

A few images from this past Saturday, downtown shopping for back-to-school for my daughter on Queen Street West. (All of the following were shot with the Canon 1DMkIV and the Canon 24-70 f2.8L lens.)

Exiting the subway:

A treat we shared during a coffee break, trading in the old converse running shoes for a new pair, and Queen Street West:

Weighted down with all our (her) shopping:

Then a few shots on the way home from the subway station:

Catch-up blog posting of some recent iPhoneography.

Some Toronto street photography:

A few random shots:

My still-life subject of the month

The best camera is the one you have with you, if you would like to learn how to photograph and process images on your Apple iPhone, check out my iPhoneography Workshop.

Jessika is a friend who needed some headshots, so she dropped by for a quick shoot the other night (all of the headshots were taken with the Canon 1DMkIV + Canon 70-200 f2.8L IS lens):

A few goofy faces to have some fun, and doesn’t she have simply goregous eyes?

Was at my mother’s for dinner the other night, and did a little Milo stalking:

My mother’s neighbour Susan and  her dog Brady:

My mother’s garden:

Catch-up blog posting of some of my recent iPhoneography shots. All of the following were taken and processed on the iPhone 4.

This is a big catch-up blog posting, as I haven’t posted for a while!

I recently went downtown to Queen Street West with my daughter, and we found this adorable fascinator in a downstairs store on Queen Street for just $15, where almost the exact same thing was selling for $30 a half block away! It was an awesome shop, we will certainly visit again soon:

A few shots out and about in the Queen Street West alleyways:

A few weeks ago we were at the Summerhill Reservoir, and we met Gordon, who looks very much like a Golden Retriever I grew up with:

More shots of Gordon, and, yes, Noah ended up with very wet feet! Rebecca brought along her book:

I went on a photo walk with Toronto Photo Walks this past Saturday, lots of animals!

Met this cat on the way home:

The beautiful long haired cat was sitting in the front window of a home on route. The shot of the bowls was from inside a Buddhist Temple via Doors Open:

Dandelions everywhere!

I also took quite a few shots with my iPhone, but need a few more days to do something creative with them! They’ll show up soon!

Here are some iPhoneography shots (and a few older shots at the end) from my recent trip to Costa Rica. You can see my Canon photography shots, from this trip, in this post (or just scroll down further on the page). All of the following were shot and processed on the iPhone 4.

This one is a combination of two previously processed images, playing with a few new apps:

When I departed Toronto it was a snowy cold day, the plane had to be de-iced:

In flight, to and from Costa Rica. The last image is from a short haul flight within Costa Rica.

Surfers on the beach in Costa Rica:

Loved the beaches:

And love the critters on the beach even more!

Scenic shots:

Playing with the Tiny Planet app on the iPhone:

And to finish up, a few older iPhone shots that I didn’t have a chance to post before:

I recently traveled to Costa Rica to attend a photography tour with some friends. The tour was run by Natural Exposures, and it was wonderful! Relaxing and fun, lots of photo opportunities. I will post some iPhone photography from the trip once I have a chance to process some more of the images, in the meantime the following were all taken with my Canon 1DMkIV.

Beautiful beach sunset:

Critters on the beach:

The silly dogs were from a lunch stop on a travel day, the rest were all taken at the Tiskita Lodge:

Ah, the beach, loved it!

The following were taken at the Osa Sanctuary:

Various birds from the trip:

Found this curled fern at our first hotel, and never found it again, unfortunately!

Few more sunsets:

I haven’t posted any iPhoneography shots lately, so thought I would do a catch-up blog posting (before posting more Finnegan photos).

All of the following were shot and processed on the iPhone 4.
