This is St. John’s church in #peggyscove and was taken from the road side as I walked past #bubbamagoos. ISO 100, f/10, 1/200s on my 24-105 lens.

Been out with the #flu so not much to share. Did manage to get out for a #walk today at the #beach and grabbed this #kitesurfer about to get going. Shit on a #fujifilm #xt5

It was a touch #windy but nice to feel the #sunshine.

A couple of photos of the #halifaxcitadel signal posts taken from two different spots, handheld and at night. I’d have liked some moving clouds but I like these ok.

Got out last night as I wanted to try a new perspective on the #oldtownclock in #halifax. Surprised by how far away I had to be to get the tower framed by the two buildings behind it. All handheld at f4 and iso4000

Managed to grab time for a walk out and around #peggyscove yesterday. Never photographed the #church there but I think it came out ok for a first shot or two. Taken on a #canon r5 with the 24-105.

Cheeky kitty cat time. Mr Moki was running wild and looked like he was ready to pounce.

I think this is my favourite from today’s walk in #pointpleasantpark in #halifax . A moment of #quiet in what can be a busy #park

#fujifilm x-t5 with a 27mm prime. Acros film sim with a little tweaking in Lightroom

Here’s a few photos from today’s walk in #pointpleasantpark in #halifax starting to feel like spring.

#fujifilm x-t5 with a 27mm prime. Images a combination of classic chrome and bleach bypass film sims.

Most of the time I post the typical type of photos I take but every now and then our #cat makes an appearance. Cheeky #kitty must have realized I’d taken his photo running around 😹

Not a spectacular lighthouse photo but one that I like from a short walk at #peggyscove tonight. I still don’t think I’ve quite found the composition I want so will keep looking!

One of the easily recognized buildings in #peggyscove

I gotten some lovely photos of these buildings over the years but I think this is the only day I captured someone working on them.

Another from last night that I think is kinda fun. Lots to learn but not to bad for a handheld shot at 1/5 of a second (or somewhere around that). Love the older buildings in Halifax.

I feel wide angle lenses are the most challenging so every now and then that’s all I take out with me trying to get better. A long way from perfect but I think it’s ok.

Thought I’d posted this but I guess not. Another I’m trying to figure how I want to capture it. It was freezing cold when I grabbed this of the #halifax explosion memorial.

A little colourful street art from #downtownhalifax . Love this piece and this is just a small part of it. Will comment with the details later. Looking forward to the #halifaxmuralfestival this year.

A couple of recognizable spots downtown Halifax from the other night. Still figuring out how I want to photograph these. Out with a different focal length soon as well.

Another 100mm macro shot. Tried a different aspect ratio with these. Both are exactly the same image except ones convert to b&w. I liked the #icicles and was trying to make it work at 100mm.

The roads are better and the weathers a little warmer so challenges myself to some street photography in #halifax with the #canon #rf100mm macro. Still trying to figure this focal length out but I’ll be posting a few photos.

While the weathers terrible why not get a picture of a grumpy cat!

Hoping to get out soon.

A little street art from this mornings walk in #halifax. Located on the wall of Bearly’s House of Blues and completed in 2007 by the artists TG & KG.

Part of the #halifax skyline, these are the chimneys of the tufts cove power station. I’d found a spot where I planned to try and get the whole station but there was a ship tied up on the waterfront so I could only get the stacks.

Last night it was around minus 15 Celsius in #halifax so I didn’t hang around and spend loads of time framing them. I was using my #canonr5 with the 50mm f1.8. Set the aperture to 1.8 iso to 1600 and let the shutter speed figure itself out.

A couple of photos of one of my favourite planes the #SR71 #blackbird on display in #washingtondc

I think they ware all taken on a fujifilm #xt5 with a 27mm f2.8 prime.

I took this photo in the #smithsonian #nationalairandspacemuseum in #washingtondc

The #spaceshuttle is some thing I’d always wanted to see and finally got my chance a year or so ago. What surprised me is just how big it is when up close.
