Struggled a bit with #52frames_selfportrait. I tried to do an silhouette like we did in school with the students. But, I couldn't manage the bokeh and keep a sharp outline in the space I was in. I settled for a tight crop, tried to go a bit abstract. #52frames #selfportrait #monochrome #photography

An unexpected visitor to our bird feeder during the ice storm! Cooper's Hawk (and Mourning Dove) (I guess the hawks have to eat too! However, I think there will be no traffic to our birdfeeders for the next several days...) #birds #hawks #raptors #birdphotography

Trying a few different approaches with the #52frames_filltheframe challenge this week...struggling a bit for a subject that works. color or monochrome - what do you think? #horse #animals #filltheframe #52frames #photography

Out and about in Linwood, Ontario. #photography #social_documentary #winter #rural_life

I went to a local birding hotspot to see the current celebrity among local birders, a Virginia Rail. They don't usually hang around here for winter, so it was wonderful to see and photograph it 😊. I also took a couple photos of the usual suspects. #birdphotography #virginiarail #naturephotography

Wow! The ICM image looks like it was taken during a strong winter storm! The birch tree is very cool too!

A temperature inversion near Linwood, ON (Dec. 8). The air below the ice crystals was -20C (according to my car). As we drove up a hill through the crystal cloud, the air was -10C. It made for a beautiful #landscape, with trees covered in ice crystals! #Ontario #photography #winter #nature

My submission for this week's #52frames challenge, #52frames_shootfromthehip #streetphotography #photography #Waterloo (Straightened, cropped, and colour corrected in #darktable)

Great pictures! I was taking pictures in Uptown too! I also rode the ION for a while looking for opportunities.

Final #52frames_architecture photo for this week. The atrium between Engineering 5 and Engineering 7 at the Unversity of Waterloo. #52frames #architecture #photography

Great week to be in Ottawa 😁 #52frames_architecture

Hunting for a #52frames_architecture photo! A church converted to a toy store, decorated for Christmas. I need to redo this picture with a wider aperture, less keystoning, and more light in the sky. The weather is not cooperating!❄️❄️❄️ On to an indoor venue next! #52frames #architecture #photography

I visited a local arena to capture a few shots of the quintessential Canadian sport for #52frames_sportsphotography. The first is my submission for the week. #hockey

My #52frames_sportsphotography submission for this week. Not really a sport, since there was no competition, but maybe they were racing to work? #52frames #biking #photography #panning

Plant shelf... (just remembering, plants aren't toys - for my #52Frames friends) #houseplants #plants

Tried the "tell a story with Flat Lay" extra challenge for the #52frames_showusyourtoys theme this week. I'm definitely embracing imperfections! #52frames #photography

I'm still working on this challenge. These are so great - I really like the games image!

Just a duck (It was a quiet day birding.) #birds #birding #nature #photography

Trapped between screams #52frames_yourworstnightmare #shower #horror

I didn't have many ideas for this week's #52frames_yourworstnightmare challenge, so I went with my first and only thought. I used our doorbell camera to create a composite image inspired by a spooky scene from the horror film Hereditary. #52frames #photography #horror #Hereditary_movie #Halloween

Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) from last night. Not very detailed, but still happy I captured something! Thanks to @afischer.bsky.social for the inspiration - have a look at his amazing captures of this comet! #astrophotography #comet

#52Frames_shadows submission for this week. Simple shadow from plants in the kitchen! #52frames #photography

Waiting for the beta release... #gander gandersocial.ca

Intersection of shadows. Still on the hunt for 'shadows as subject' ideas for the #52frames_shadows challenge! This idea failed - I couldn't get a clear shot with the camera hanging from my neck and the final image seemed a bit creepy - not what I was going for! #photography #52frames #shadow

Yet another watch face for the #52frames_time challenge! 🕖 #52frames #photography

Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) in the early hours of 3 October, captured through the C8 with an ASI294mc and additionally with a Nikon D5600 and a Tamron 70-200 at a focal length of 130 mm. The #comet was also nice to observe visually and will hopefully brighten significantly. #astrophotography

Riding on the Simcoe Railway! #trains #fall #photography

I'm trying to better emphasize storytelling in my photos, so for #52frames_time, I photographed my Mom looking through an old photo album. Edited to emphasize warm, late afternoon (literally and metaphorically) light and time passing, yet held — in hands, in photographs, in light. #hands #nostalgia
