Pics-of-The-day

Ground Level shot of a Mushroom. I could get this type of shot before by either getting down on the ground and framing the shot. With the tilty-flippy screen on the 80D I can frame the shot much more easily.

  

Part of a Hydro (electircal transmission) Tower.

 
 Caught this squirrel at the top of a telephone pole. Usually they run as soon as I reach for my camera, but this time he had no where to go.

 A few old pics of a sunset at Fort Erie Race Track.

 
This Model was in the SONY booth at the vistek imaging show in Toronto. That's the day I got my new 80D, which is great , but I'm still working on making the most of it.

One of the 1st photos with my new 80D.I've been working with it & going through the manual trying to learn all the features & functions. It will take time to really learn &practice before I can make the most of it.

Pic-of-The-day

This set of photos is from the 'High Lite Diner' in Downtown Niagara Falls. The High Lite has been a part of downtown as long as I can remember & some of the furnishings are older than that. The age of the furnishings, in some cases makes them cool & stylish, in other cases .. just aged.

The highlight is currently the place you can get breakfast (or coffee) downtown. The breakfast is typical  greasy spoon fair,  neither trendy or particularly healthy but, tasty & filling.
I suspect this won't be the last set I post from the High Lite.

 Pic-of-The-day - "Close to the Edge" & "Lost in a Dream".

Glassy in the Foreground & Vintage Bokeh in the background.
Yes Vintage Bokeh, to my eye the bokeh from this lens* is different than all of my modern lenses. To my eye the 'bokeh balls' from the lens can have harder edges sort of like a ring around the edge. ... Which you prefer is (to my mind) mostly a matter taste.

This series was all taken with a vintage 50mm (*canon 1.8 FD) on a 70D.  It's a small waterfalls in Duff, that has the advantage that there is a little staircase that lets you get reasonably close to the water.
