Wintermoment

The snow hardly lasts in Toronto anymore... it's already starting to melt...

Playing with my Chrissy prezzie - a new WIDE lens :) of course, i still did a considerable amount of cropping - but it was lovely having so much to play with!

Another winter shot in my other album...

Thank you for the comments, suggestions and support on my recent photos... I can't believe I've been at this almost one year!

Beautiful

[Frank Hymus]

Beautiful composition. Just what you would have expected from a wide lens, a lot of foreground. And with the great 180 degree curve, it is done brilliantly. Also, the relatively narrow f/stop, everything is focused and in balance. The two figures are superbly placed! Fav.

[Katie]

Love the way the curves look here!

[Maggiemae]

The road looks awfully slippery and is reflecting the trees nicely!

[Leonie Mogridge]

Just like a postcard, beautiful.

[Nada A.]

Love the curves especially in the B&W.

[Jake Sorensen]

love the B&W, you should have lots of fun with that 10mm

[Karen H]

Love the curve line

[Carla]

excellent shot! You can wide angle just go together like beans and frijoles, weddings and a mariachi band.

[Sharon Lee]

Loving this... such a beautiful winter scene, and love the older couple walking together :) Wide views are fabulous, are they not?

[Vee]

Beautiful! Wide angle is fantastic!

Woohoo - is this the 10 - 22 mm? I tried this out in a camera store a few weeks ago. ENVIOUS!!

[Amy Spada]

I like how you are at the apex of the hairpin turn!

[Michelle Blackford]

Awesome curves! Your new lens seems to suit you well!

[Amaya Williams]

Excellent curve--i 'v tried cycling shots like this but without success--guess the trick is the wide angle lens. Wll, done!

[Lisa Pouncy]

Oh congrats. So much fun having new toys to play with. I love the sweep of the road xx

[Stacey]

Wonderful..wide angle is great. You can have some of our snow if you like. I went off road to take a shot of some ice on a tree and it was up to my waist. I almost didn't get out!
