Pic-of-The-day

 The starting gate at Fort Erie Race Track, getting a final once over before going away til next spring.
It's taken me so long to get this posted that this photo that the new racing season seems just around the corner. 

My feeling that the new season is close, is probably because my day job is working on media & promotions for that new season. 

Like some people have to work on Christmas (ads photos, videos etc.)  in July, I spend my winter preparing different types of media to encourage people to come spend sunny summer afternoons at the track & warm evenings at the Tiki Bar.

Pic-of-The-day - "Red & Green". More flowers from the cutting garden.
When I heard we were having a cutting garden I had to confirm it was, what I thought it was. A cutting garden is a flower garden that is grown  to cut the flowers for your house as opposed to gardens that are grown to look at outdoors.

Pic-of-The-day - "Collapse".

The Niagara Falls transit garage & offices where demolished this summer to make way for an empty lot (not a parking lot just one that 's post 'no parking-no trespassing'.
The demolition took months and months,  but has also been finished for months, so I guess I'm kind of late getting these out.

 Pic-of-The-day - "Ornamental Plants".
Playing with a canon 50mm 2.5 macro lens. I thought it was a bit weird when I foist saw it for sale (everyone knows the standard 50's at 1.8, 1.4 &1.2. You might have  heard of the legendary (but real) 50mm 1.0, but I had never heard  of this 50mm macro.

At first I thought  "what a strange lens"  then  I looked around online & realized it could help me do something I'd been struggling with.
I like shots like this & the one below but have always wanted to get closer to give a better sense of volume & scale, but the minimum focus distance on my thrifty fifty was too long. This new 50 mm macro would solve that problem, as a bonus it has a bigger throw which makes manual focusing much easier than the 50 1.8. This is still a bit of a niche lens, but it's a niche I like my only regret is that I didn't use it last month for the 'Garrison Christmas' series.
