Sleepy Monday afternoon….

Here are a few shots from the neighbourhood and some of the things that I have eaten over the past few days! All of these shots are done with my new Olympus 60mm.

And more…

I love this lens! and no, these are not crops! It’s the lens set at 1:1. The dial on the lens is a little clumsy! It will take some getting used to!

Quiet Friday morning photos: the 60mm for architecture

Nice morning to take photos! Thankfully my neighbourhood has quieted with the egress of the student hoards for the holiday. I put my shoes on, grabbed my sunglasses, and went out for some shots. No nature or anything to really use the macro, and the flower cart that I was depending on in the Market was not yet open! It was really nice to be outside with the sun and although cool out, it is shaping up to be a nice spring-like day! Not many cars either, so you can actually hear the birds!

These were fully automatic shots since I was lazy, I did look for lots of range in the images but the light was quite harsh. It has been a while since the sun has been out! This 60mm is really nice! I really cannot wait for the opportunity to really use the macro and also use this as a portrait lens… I think that is where this lens really shines… for architecture, I’ll stick with my Tokina 11-16mm.

I love these photo-comparisons!

I’m not sure if I have linked to that page showing Ottawa Now and Then photos that allow you to “slide” the old and new images, taken from the same vantage point. I tried googling it but I didn’t find it right away so I’ll do that later!

Here is one from Paris with photos from 1900-2013! Sometimes the only difference is the fashion!
