This is St. Johnโ€™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. Iโ€™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 todayโ€™s walk in #pointpleasantpark in #halifax . A moment of #quiet in what can be a busy #park

Hereโ€™s a few photos from todayโ€™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.

I love this. We were in Iceland a while back and they turned the streets lights off in the city so we could get a better view. They were spectacular. Canโ€™t wait to visit again as itโ€™s a truly beautiful place.

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 Iโ€™d taken his photo running around ๐Ÿ˜น

Not a spectacular lighthouse photo but one that I like from a short walk at #peggyscove tonight. I still donโ€™t think Iโ€™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.

Iโ€™m going to have another play with it and tinker with those settings in the next couple of days. I canโ€™t remember if Iโ€™d used those on this one already. Will give it a go :-)

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.

Cheers. The three lights I lined up around a support column as i was aiming for the lamppost to be continuous.

The clockhouse is an iconic Halifax photo that Iโ€™m still trying to figure out the best place on the road and focal length and time of day for the photo. Iโ€˜ll get there someday.

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

Thought Iโ€™d posted this but I guess not. Another Iโ€™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 Iโ€™ll be posting a few photos.

Hoping to get out soon.

Exactly the same for me. I was trying to think of where the cobbled street was and then the penny dropped ๐Ÿคฃ

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

Thanks Gord, it can be stunning and itโ€™s always a little different which keeps me down there. I try to catch the feel of the place but miss way more than I see. Glad you like them.

Tufts cove power station chimney stacks

Tufts cove power station chimney stacks

Part of the #halifax skyline, these are the chimneys of the tufts cove power station. Iโ€™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.

Iโ€™d say that was a good decision. Right now my setup is pretty much smooth sailing. My older canon lenses work just as well (if not better) on the new body. The only thing that tends to cause problems is me messing up the settings as thereโ€™s so much these can do.
