Dillon

Dillon -- 1D Mark III & EF 135mm f2 @ f2

I picked up a used Canon XS Rebel a little while back for Dillon, hoping that this time it will ignite the photography passion in him then the last time I got him the 30D, which I eventually sold as he wan't really into it. I am happy to say that he is somewhat more enthusiastic this time around, and we went out together once in a while for a shoot.  Perhaps the fact that his cousin Sally, who has caught the photography bug, has an influence on him.  In any case, it's a good thing.  Some of his pictures are quite good. Hope he will keep it up.

Evergreen Brick Works

Dillon, Sally and I decided to hike the trails of the Evergreen Brick Works this morning.  Man, was it ever cold this morning with windchill at around -18c, plus the rock hard ice and snow coming down, it was a tough walk, but we enjoyed it.

This was the first time I actually gone to the Brick Works, although we biked passed it a few times along the Don River.  I was hoping we could get some pictures inside of the buildings, but it was too early in the morning and after the hike, it was just too much for a day.

I didn't actually take too many pictures, mostly because it was so cold and the snow was pretty heavy at times.  I was going to bring the 200mm f1.8L with me, but Dillon warned me that I should bring light gear as the trails could be steep.  Sort of regretted that I didn't bring it, as there was definitely opportunities to use this lens.  Oh well, perhaps next time.
