A few weeks ago I had a lovely dinner at my mother’s, and captured a few photos.
The adorable Simon:
Milo the cat wasn’t too pleased with my camera:
I captured some photos of the flowers in her garden, and also walking to/from the dinner get-together:
Passing my the LCBO at Summerhill on the way home:
(Equipment used: Canon EOS-1D MarkIV (new version of this camera is the Canon EOS-1D X Digital), Canon 50 f1.4 lens)
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:
(Equipment used: Canon EOS-1D MarkIV (new version of this camera is the Canon EOS-1D X Digital), Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Telephoto Zoom Lens)
You can see by the number of photos below that I have been greatly enjoying my new iPhone 4 with its much improved camera! All of the images posted below were shot with the iPhone 4 and processed with apps on the iPhone as well.
Shot at the park in Yorkville:
Had just dropped my son off at ROM camp, morning light was shining west across Bloor Street:
Loving the sun flare that the iPhone produces, though it has been enhanced somewhat in this image:
Think I will have to make another evening trip to this location for some more shots, loving the nighttime lights:
At my mother’s for dinner I captured this shot of Milo:
Downtown on Queen Street West with the kids, caught this shot:
Subway tracks:
Yeah! So happy to have finally lucked out on some cool converse shoes for Rebecca! We tried twice to order online from Getoutside Shoes, both times the size we needed was not available. Then we saw the Dr. Suess Converse shoes, and knew we had to wait for them. Stalked the store on facebook to watch for word that they had arrived, called and had Rebecca’s size set aside for us, whoa! Cool shoes! Noah ended up snagging a pair as well!
More shots out & about in the city:
Caught Noah on my bed with his laptop, only illuminated by the screen. Alice was illuminated by two laptop screens. Then some shots from downtown, out & about, and our ‘hood:
This is becoming a nice mother’s day tradition, just like last year, the kids and I went over to my mother’s on Sunday to spend some time with her.
(Equipment Used: Canon 1D MkIV and the Canon 85mm f1.2L lens, unless otherwise noted.)
We took Simon to the park:
Met this nice dog on the way in:
Noah had a great time playing with Simon:
Another visitor to the park:
Cute basket of flowers in my mother’s front garden:
Simon hanging out on the sofa, Milo joins in:
Milo awaiting food in the kitchen, and then naps upstairs in peace:
Yum! Dessert the kids and I brought:
Rebecca on the way home:
Noah scootering home:
And had to capture these images (shot with the Canon 1D MkIV and Canon 24-70 f2.8L lens) on Saturday of Alice snuggled up close to Noah on my bed:
Hope all the mother’s who read my blog had a wonderful day!
I was very excited, the other week, to get the call from Henry’s Camera that my new Canon EOS-1D MarkIV body had arrived. They have been in short supply as priority was given to Olympic photographers. This is one amazing machine! I did a family shoot with it last Friday, and am extremely pleased with the results—watch for the sneak peek of that session soon! (See “My Camera Equipment” in footer section for links/more information on camera equipment used.)
The first weekend, with the camera, was dedicated to testing it, seeing the results I could achieve and the type of focusing it could nail. It definitely focuses in lower light/lower contrast situations better then my old Canon EOS-1D MarkIII did. Is it perfect, no, but I am very pleased!
That Saturday the kids and I went to my mother’s for dinner. Here’s a shot of Milo (Canon EOS-1D MarkIV and Canon 85 f1.2L lens):
Simon (shot with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV, Canon 85 f1.2L lens and Canon 580EX II Speedlite):
Milo (shot with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV, Canon 85 f1.2L lens and Canon 580EX II Speedlite):
Kids and I brought dessert, do you remember this one? Usually prepared as a log, but I mixed it up a bit (shot with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV, Canon 24–70 mm f2.8L lens and Canon 580EX II Speedlite):
Yum!
Of course I have to post some new shots of Alice, as she is great to practice on! Is it any wonder I can get any work done with such cutness? She loves hanging out with me while I work (she is sleeping on my lap as I type this!), the printer spot is fine, but she blocks my screen in the other position! (Shot with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV, Canon 85 f1.2L lens and Canon 580EX II Speedlite):
I pulled out the macro lens for some shots, look at those amazing blue eyes! (Following three images shot with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV, Canon 100 mm f2.8 macro lens and Canon 580EX II Speedlite):
The next two were shot with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV and Canon 85 f1.2L lens, the first one at 1/100, f1.2, ISO 1600. Very impressed with the high ISO capabilities of this camera, no issues with an image shot at 1600:
This is a spot that Alice loves in the dining room, at the floor by the rad, nice and cozy. Shooting wide open completely blurs the legs of the chairs/table in front of her, giving this cool effect to the floor in front of her. Shot at 1/125, f1.4 (s/b 1.2!), ISO 2500. Definitely getting more noise/grain in the image at ISO 2500, it’s useable, but could be pushing it depending on final use of the image:
Finally just a couple of Alice on my bed, shot with the Canon EOS-1D MarkIV, Canon 85 f1.2L lens and Canon 580EX II Speedlite:
Stay tuned for the sneak peek of the adorable toddler I photographed last week!
P.S. Regular visitors may have noticed that I’ve changed my site/blog. There is no longer a ‘website’, per say, but my redesigned ‘blog’ is now my website. It still contains all the information as was previously contained on both the website and the blog. I hope you like it! 🙂
