Christmas Light

Let's open our curtains and doors and hearts and allow light in and light out this Christmas.
Let us love one another.

Chilly in the Exchange

I'm really loving city shots these days. The more colour and texture the better! As I drive around town, I keep my eyes open for interesting streetscapes and see them as finished compositions.

Once on my computer, I play with the colour and contrast and add texture layers if needed to match the image I shot with my mind's eye.

This image I shot at f/2.8 with a shutter speed of 1/80. My ISO was 100 and focal length 45.

T-Town!

Construction signs and all, here is my Transcona!

I shot this scene in my neighborhood and made sure to include the ordinary...the piles of dirty snow...the construction signs...the stop signs and the traffic. It is an ordinary little neighborhood but also I think, quaint...and rather patriotic it seems.

Cropping out the sky's expanse, I focused in on the street scene alone. It is what is important in this image.

Once on my computer I enhanced the colours, increased the contrast and then also added a textured layer to add to the nostalgic feel.

I shot at a speed of 1/160 with an aperture of f/6.3 and focal length of 40 mm. My ISO was 100 and my lens choice was my EF24-70mm.
