Hunting for a #52frames_architecture photo!
A church converted to a toy store, decorated for Christmas.
I need to redo this picture with a wider aperture, less keystoning, and more light in the sky. The weather is not cooperating!❄️❄️❄️ On to an indoor venue next!

I visited a local arena to capture a few shots of the quintessential Canadian sport for #52frames_sportsphotography. The first is my submission for the week.

My #52frames_sportsphotography submission for this week. Not really a sport, since there was no competition, but maybe they were racing to work?

Tried the "tell a story with Flat Lay" extra challenge for the #52frames_showusyourtoys theme this week.

I'm definitely embracing imperfections!

I'm still working on this challenge. These are so great - I really like the games image!
I don't really have many "toys" for #52frames_showusyourtoys, but took a couple of shots: a collection of my winter activity gear and a flat lay of some of our favourite board games' pieces

I didn't have many ideas for this week's #52frames_yourworstnightmare challenge, so I went with my first and only thought.

I used our doorbell camera to create a composite image inspired by a spooky scene from the horror film Hereditary.

Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) from last night. Not very detailed, but still happy I captured something!

Thanks to @afischer.bsky.social for the inspiration - have a look at his amazing captures of this comet!

Intersection of shadows. Still on the hunt for 'shadows as subject' ideas for the #52frames_shadows challenge!
This idea failed - I couldn't get a clear shot with the camera hanging from my neck and the final image seemed a bit creepy - not what I was going for!
