More Ice Storm Pictures

Below are some more pictures taken of the ice storm on the 22nd of December. I kind of regretted that I didn't go to Tommy Thompson Park, as I believe there would be more opportunities for pictures, but I had other commitments to fulfill and could only spent about an hour shooting around the area.  Again, the lenses used were the Kinoptik Speciale Cine 210mm t2.8 and the Canon EF 100mm f2.8L IS. Both lenses produce spectacular pictures, especially the Kinoptik cine lens, but it could not beat the usability and sharpness of the modern Canon 100mm f2.8L macro. It should be noted that the lenses were designed for different purposes. The Kinoptik for smooth and cinematic look while the Canon macro for sharpness.

The first two pictures were taken with the Kinoptik Speciale Cine 210mm f2.8 and the rest were taken with the EF 100mm f2.8L IS on the Canon 5D Mark II. 

Toronto Ice Storm 2013

We have had a pretty severe ice storm since last night. The rain freezes on power lines, trees, and everything else. There are lots of power lines down by the weight of the ice, and consequently, more than 300,000 people households (more than a million people) were without electricity. Bad timing, of course; winter without power is always bad. Inconveniences aside, this is a great opportunity for photography.

I went out around the area and took some pictures of ice on trees. It was spectacular!

All pictures were taken with Canon 5D Mark II & EF 100mm f2.8L IS, except the first three pictures, taken with Kinoptik Speciale Cine 210mm f2.8.
