Backyard Sunsets on June 6th, 2021.
Digital, 2021.
Another beautiful sunset at the beginning of June. Sometimes I can’t make it out to my usual sunset spots in time and I’m super thankful I can see part of the sunset in my own backyard.

A beautiful sunset at the beginning of June. I was really happy with the way the sky transformed on this day. This wasn’t the most intense sunset I’ve seen but it’s definitely beautiful!

I was hoping for a little more of a dramatic sky but I’ll take what I can get. I’m pleased with the way the colours became more and more vivid, though!

An almost summer sunset at Polson Pier in Toronto. This is one of my favourite spots for taking photos of the Toronto skyline, especially during sunset.

Pine Needles on May 26th, 2021.
Digital, 2021.
Close up photos of pine needles during spring. I debated on what colour scheme I should go for for this set and ultimately decided on a cool aqua tone instead of a warm green one (what they actually looked like). I wanted to experiment with colour a bit and I really like the way these turned out!

Storm and a Sunset on March 11th, 2021.
Digital, 2021.
This was one of those days where just by looking at the clouds in the evening, I could tell we would have a brilliant sunset later on. Sometimes I’m wrong since Mother Nature has a mind of her own, but I really love being right!
When we got to my spot, we could see the clouds rolling in and in no time at all, the sky opened up and unleashed a downpour onto the city. I was super lucky as I was out taking photos just seconds before! I headed back to the car, closed the door, and was just stunned at how the rain pelted down seconds later while the wind really picked up. Since we were by a hill, we could see the wind moving the rain horizontally. For a second or two, the rain streaks on our windshield were all completely horizontal!
After the rainstorm and a few short videos of the rain later, the sky began to turn pink and then orange. Soon after, some of the clouds gained definition and turned red. It’s not the most intense sunset I’ve seen but I’m not one to turn a sunset opportunity down! I’m really happy I got to go out to capture this beautiful scene.

Downtown Toronto on March 6th, 2021.
Digital, 2021.
Happy 187th birthday Toronto! I was downtown and decided to snap some shots while in the car (from the passenger seat). When the weather warms up, I plan to grab my camera and walk around downtown and see what I can get pictures of. Some of my favourite shots in the past have been city shots from New York City and Chicago where I was just free to explore. Sadly, it seems like I haven’t done that as often as I would like in my home town.

Sunset on September 19th, 2020.
Digital, 2020.
The last intense sunset of summer. It was such a joy watching the sky go from a light wash of orange to just something totally brilliant. And even then, the clouds changed from a vivid orange to a stunning red/purple/pink.
It won’t be the last sunset of the year but I honestly can’t believe summer is already over. With the world’s current state of affairs, the year is moving by so quick. Pretty soon, 2021 will be upon us.
