Alice the Cat Update: Toronto Cat Photography

I have been taking photos of Alice over the last few weeks, so now it’s time to play “blog image catch-up” with them! Hope you enjoy! 🙂

Alice loves hanging out on the window ledge in the living room, watching the world go by: (Equipment Used: Shot with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV and the Canon 24–70 mm f2.8L lens.)

A couple of more window shots, and then a few where she was just hanging out on my bed. (All shot with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV. Top two with the Canon 24–70 mm f2.8L lens, bottom left with the Canon 100 mm f2.8 macro lens and the bottom right with the Canon 85 f1.2L lens.)

Love this shot of her, with her beautiful tail curled around her as she snoozes on the shelf in my home office. (Shot with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV, Canon 24–70 mm f2.8L lens and the Canon 580EX II Speedlite.)

With the beautiful weather having arrived in Toronto, I decided it was time to introduce Alice to our deck. Right now she is still a bit nervous/skittish of being on the deck, but we have a harness/leash for her when she starts to get more adventurous! (Shot with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV, and first/last images with the Canon 85 f1.2L lens, middle two with the Canon 24–70 mm f2.8L lens.)

The following four images were shot with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV, and the Lensbaby Composer with the Lensbaby Close-Up (Macro) Kit (+4) installed:

The following four images were shot with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV, and the Lensbaby Composer (no macro attachment). Interesting to me how much more pronounced the lensbaby affect is on these images vs. the images above with the macro attachment:

Will have a link to share, related to my pet photography, in the next day or two. Will post some more recent shots of Alice then too! 🙂

Wonderful Summer Weather in April: Out & About, Toronto Family Photographer

For those that live in Toronto, wasn’t the weather over the Easter long weekend amazing? Summer in April, total bliss!

On the Saturday of the long weekend Rebecca came out with me to run some errands in the beautiful weather. (Equipment Used: The following were all shot with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV and my beloved Canon 85 f1.2L lens, it gives amazing bokeh!)

One of my fave spots for photos in our ‘hood is under the train bridge, have used it often before (see here, and here, and here). Love how the red laces stand out!

After we went for dessert at My Favourite Ice Cream.
