Enjoying the Warm Weather ... while it lasted

Patrick Chondon April 22, 2015

We finally got some warm weather this past week so I here are some photos from those days. It's a random mix of Kakabeka Falls, hanging outside around the house, my Mother's Birthday and of course, enjoying a fire in the backyard.

I used a few different cameras this time around. Most of them were shot with the D610, but a bunch were also taken with the Fuji x100s and my trusty D700. The lenses of choice were the 50mm 1.8 and the 85mm 1.8. Just when I think the 85mm is my new favourite lens, the 50mm still blows me away with the quality it produces for such a inexpensive lens.

It's almost spring!

I had the chance to get for a little bit this past weekend and enjoy the brisk spring weather. It was mid afternoon which meant bright sunny conditions. Instead of looking for low contrast and subtle photos I focused on finding nice shadows and strong bold images.

My combo of choice this time around was my D610 and 85mm 1.8. The 85mm might be my new favourite lens. I love how light it is and the colours it produces are just amazing. Plus, for me, it's a great focal length, at least when walking around.
