I don't use my cell phone for any 'serious' photography. They may be a large community of people using their phones as a primary camera but I prefer the form factor, creative control and quality of results from one of my cameras. That is unless all I have with me is my phone and the scene is so fleeting that heading back to the vehicle to unpack my R5 would make me miss the shot ...

 

' Mirrored on the Michipicoten '

After a full day of shooting on our way from Batchawana Bay to Wawa. We had checked into our accommodations, made a dinner reservation at a highly recommended restaurant and arrived to this scene from their outdoor deck looking over the Michipicoten River. Afraid the scene wouldn't last until I went back to the vehicle to grab my camera, I shot this with my phone.

With winter being more off-and-on spring, wet, cold and damp, I don't mind not being at the cottage for a weekend, besides, it provided an opportunity to visit Matt in TO. We met up for breakfast Saturday morning before he started work at Sanagan's Meat Locker.

Kensington Market is always a great place to photograph so I took one of my smaller cameras, the EOS M3, along in my pocket because I knew there would be something to shoot. I found this on our way back to the car park, in a lane way off Augusta Ave.

An added bonus was being able to pick up some killer short ribs to cook for dinner on Sunday and a loaf of sourdough from Blackbird Baking Co. I think we'll make this a regular thing, at least monthly, while Matt's back in TO.
