East End in the Morning
East End was one of my latest locations for a quick photo walk. I have walked around this location numerous times but there is always something new to photograph, and I proved that by coming away with a few good shots. For this walk I brought along my Fuji X-T1 and the 16-55mm 2.8. It allowed me to get a good mix of wide angle and also some close up shots. It was foggy all day so I knew I had to get out and take photos. I never though I would say this, but it almost too foggy. With that being said, the extreme weather allowed for some pretty unique captures.

The reason I like the East End is because a lot of it is old. I just love photographing things with character and grittiness. Of course, it's not all old there but it's a good mix. From the houses to the train yard, there is a lot of variety in that area. With it being foggy, it allowed me to capture somewhat gloomy and melancholy photos. But also, being overcast with no sun, meant really good even lighting. Even if it was kind of a dark morning.
I actually was able to venture down to Westfort later in the day so be sure to check back soon for photos from that short walk as well. Thanks for viewing!
East End Walk
Last week I decided to go for a quick walk around the East End area, near May Street and eventually across the bridge. I brought my Nikon D750 and 85mm lens. As usual, I tried to explore areas I haven't in the past, so this meant walking in and out of a lot of the back alleys. It's amazing the things you can find to photograph in the alleys. Of course, I set out to look for the old and the run down, so there is plenty of that in East End. But, there is also a lot of character, which is why it's one of my favourite areas in town to take photos.

After the alleys, I made my way to the train yard and then decided I might as well take the tunnel under the tracks to the other side. I didn't spend too much time there but I managed to find a few good captures. It was then time to cross the bridge back to Simpson Street and make my way back to the car.
