Taste of the Danforth

It’s that time of year again, to go out and mingle with a million or so of your fellow Torontonians as they form a human carpet along Danforth Ave from Broadview to Jones.

But really, it’s not the crowds I go to see, it’s the food!  (Unfortunately, I have to use both hands to hold and consume the food out on the street, so I haven’t yet perfected a way to photograph the many delectable treats available.  But I’m willing to keep trying…)

Spring blooms eternal

I think it’s safe to say that the warm weather is here to stay (at least until the Fall…), and the gardens are bursting forth with colour and form. It’s almost a given that every photographer will, at one time or another, turn their camera towards the bright hues of a flower.  It’s seems an irresistible urge. So to help you with your floral photography, here are some suggestions. It’s All About The Light As always, watch your exposure, especially the highlights, with flowers.  With many floral compositions, the brightest parts make up a small proportion of the image, so highlights can easily get overexposed. Also, watch the individual colour channels carefully, as close-ups of blooms that are bright yellow, orange or red can easily become oversaturated in the red channel.
