Snaps du jour

Today, a few snaps of the day.

From a recent walk through Oakville:

Coniferous vs. deciduous in October

Coniferous vs. deciduous in October

Keep in mind here:

  • Red versus green is a good contrast.
  • Crop carefully.
  • Zoom in close to remove distractions (they were all around).
  • Foliage is dark; so underexpose (in this case by almost two stops).

One more:

Signs of the times

Today, another tip for urban photography.

Shoot signs. Anything that has writing on it. Because it can provide context. It can tell stories. It can provide interest. It can provide amusing juxtapositions.

Two snaps from a short walk through Montréal a couple of days ago:
