This is a hand made wooden flower that I bought last January in Pucon, Chile. The selective focusing was a result of using a Lensbaby 2.0.

Inspired by Sam and Shahin’s adventures with a tilt-shift lens, I decided to try my hand at the ‘fake miniature’ effect in photoshop.
Here is a shot taken in Santiago on my old Canon A20 Point & Shoot camera, I then used photoshop to try and make the image appear as if it is from a miniature model.

Two shots of Saturn from my backyard this evening. I attached my camera to a Meade 2080 telescope. It was hard as hell to focus, so the images are a little blurry while I get used to trying to focus the telescope.

Here’s another shot of the wooden flower I bought last year in Pucon, Chile. It is also taken with the Lensbaby 2.0 with the +4 and +10 macro sets stacked.

I bought my self a new Canon 70-200 f/2.8L lens this week, and decided to test it out on a walk with Moose this afternoon. I was very impressed with the lens, particularly because the lighting was awful as the sky was completely overcast and we were in the woods across the street from my house.

It was a beautiful day today in downtown Toronto, so myself and 2 friends decided to walk around Toronto. There were lots of street performers out (more pictures to come), though this street artist (at Yonge and Dundas) was just awesome.
