I’ve been getting out quite a bit taking personal photos the past month or so. Since I get way behind on posting them to my personal blog, I figured I would just start doing weekly highlights, so it at least forces me to share some of my favourites. This past week I got out to Boulevard Lake, Centennial Park in the snow, Downtown Port Arthur and Vanderwees Home and Garden. If I have time, perhaps I’ll post a few weekly highlights from earlier this month too. For now, enjoy these highlights. :)

Morning Walk in Fort William - Canon EOS R
Knowing that winter can hit at any moment, I have been trying to get out on photo walks a few times during the week after I drop my wife off at work. It helps wake me up and also gets my creative juices flowing, and prepares me to sit in front of a computer. Well, almost. I decided to venture down to Fort William and make my way through some of the side streets. I had no route planned or even a final destination.

Kam River Park - Last Days of Summer
I’ve been trying to get out more and more first thing in the morning when the sun is low. The one thing about Fall that is great for photography is that the days are shorter, which means you don’t have to get up as early to get potentially good light. When living in a place like Thunder Bay, it’s easy to get bored of taking photos because it is a smaller city and there are only so many things to photograph. That has never stopped me from going to the same location many, many times over.

Simpson Street in the Early Hours
I ended up going to bed super really early last night, which meant I got up fairly early this morning. So it was a good excuse to get out and take some photos before cars were parked on the street and the sun was too high. Even though I always hope for clouds, I’ve been pushing myself to work with sun and shadows. That was the case this morning as the sun was low, but shining for the most part. Once again, I brought my Canon EOS R and the 50mm 1.2. It’s a great combination.

A Walk Down Memory Lane
Admittedly I have been doing a lot of video lately, both paid and practice, so my personal photography has taken a bit of back seat. Well, I finally got outside and walked around, with no goal other than to photograph whatever caught my eye.

Night Photography in Port Arthur - Canon EOS R
I have been wanting to get out at night to take some street photos for quite some time. Finally, I got the chance to do so, and it was with my wife Anne, which made it 10x better. With rain forecast for later in the evening we headed to downtown Port Arthur and started our walk. The camera and lens I brought with me was my awesome Canon EOS R paired with the 35mm F2. I contemplated bringing the 50mm 1.2 but opted for the stabilized 35mm. I think it ended up being a good choice.
