A bit of black and white: Photo a day #92 and #93

I guess I'm on a black and white kick, this makes three of the last four photos that I've posted saturation-free.

I managed to ruin the sounds and notifications on my cell phone when I attempted to set up an ssh daemon on it yesterday, decided to take a picture of the uncovered back while I was re-flashing it.

This morning on my way to work I stopped by a bit of road that got ruined by the spring run-off.

The Connaught Armoury: Photo a day #91

My usual photos of random buildings I find interesting are changing somewhat now that I'm using a 50mm prime lens instead of the 18-55mm zoom. I'll probably get an 18-55mm or 18-70mm back into the rotation at some point, or get a wide zoom, but in the meantime you can expect to see a lot of parts of buildings as opposed to whole buildings.

On that note, this is part of the "Connaught Armoury" which hasn't actually been used as an armoury since the 60's. The building has been occupied by a number of restaurants and clubs, but currently is Youth Emergency Shelter facility.

Beer in a wine glass: Photo a day #79

A tradition of sorts at a friend's place, also another excuse to play with apertures wider than I previously could! This was done at f/2.8

Mall decor: Photo a day #78

This was really more of a test of the Nikon AF 50mm f/1.4 D lens I picked up about 5 minutes before this picture was taken than anything else. This is pretty much straight out of the camera, I didn't even adjust the white balance.

New shoes: Photo a day #72

... at least they were new earlier this week, apparently they're already showing signs of wear. I was attempting a product advertisement feel with this.

Gurdwara Siri Guru Singh Sabha: Photo a day #71

Thrilled with how the sky turned out in this one!

By the end of the year I'll be able to direct people of any faith to the house of worship of their choice.

Weekend shots: Photo a day #67 and #68

It was a beautiful weekend with blue skies here, and I didn't intend to pass it up!  Unfortunately I neglected to check out the name of the church I randomly came across on Saturday, I'll have to go by there again sometime and update my caption

April 2 2011, Photo a day #67 - Unknown church

April 3 2011, Photo a day #68 - Ukrainian Orthodox Church of St. Anthony

Off course: Photo a day #66

Saw this car on my way to work today, must have been miserable getting out of the car when it happened.
