A beautiful day in Raymore Park

We’re having a spell of mild weather and a refreshing change from the 27 degrees and humidity that we normally experience.

Today, Mugsey and I explored the river and came down to the Humber Creek. This gentleman had parked his bike and was checking his phone and it seemed like a good composition.

Forget about city life and sit by the water for awhile.

Weir curtain

On some days, there’s a combination of ice and water that creates a curtain effect by the weir. The curtain is framed by spray and ice and calls out to the camera because it is so well defined. To make sure the curtain was photographed as it appeared, the camera was set to shutter priority and captured at 1/1600 second. I’m not a fan of those dreamy waterfall shots taken at a slow shutter speed but prefer a more realistic look.DSC00998
