Just for fun…
The first image is a recent one. I thought the background pop/juice/water filled fridge would make an interesting backdrop to the candy kabobs. It was a quick grab shot…if I return to this café I might spend a bit more time on the shot next time:
This one is an older image, but thought it might be interesting to apply a texture, just for fun:

A Snowy Day
A few shots from the very snowy day we had here in Toronto this week. All of the images were shot with the Lenbaby G3.

Congratulations to all our winners! I will be contacting you over the next few days about your winning image.

Thank you to everyone for helping me pick the top three images from family/couple sessions I’ve conducted over the last year. For present/future clients I will be running a contest like this again in the future, so keep an eye on my blog! 🙂

Contest update!
There are just over 48-hours left in the contest (it closes at 5 pm on Thursday), so I thought I’d give a quick update.
Image #2 is in the lead, with 20% of the votes, followed very closely by Image #9 with 19%, Image #1 has 16% and these three images have been battling it out for first place.
In fourth place, not very far behind, is Image #7 with 15%, next is Image #4 (11%), Image #5 (10%), Image #8 (5%), Image #3 (3%) and then Image #6 (2%).
It’s not too late to totally turn this around! If you haven’t emailed everyone you know, to vote for you, there is still time.
I can’t wait to see how it all ends. Good luck to everyone!
