I haven’t been getting out nearly as much as I did before the whole pandemic thing but I do my best. Last night I grabbed my Canon 1DX II and the 70-200mm and set off for the empty Lakehead University campus. It’s not the lightest walking around combo, but it doesn’t really bother me. I’m used to carrying out cameras for 8-10 a day at weddings. Plus, it is such an amazing combo. I’m glad I ended up using my zoom for the walk as it allowed me to capture my favourite photo of the walk, a fox running around campus, which you can see from the header image.

Snowy Days - Canon 1DX II
I woke up today, and as I usually do, I looked out the window. To my surprise, I saw snow falling. Lots of it. I knew I had to get out for walk, no matter how cold. I looked at the weather forecast on my phone and it said .. ‘feels like -25’. Yikes. After some breakfast and easing into the morning, I decided it was time. My wife always gets made at me for not dressing warm enough. Well, if she saw me, she would have been extremely proud.

University and Tree Farm - Sony A6300
Luckily, winter hasn’t quite hit us yet here in Thunder Bay. Surprisingly, there are still colours around too, especially in the trees. As I mentioned in my post from yesterday, I have been using my Sony A6300 a bit more these days for my walk around stuff. I once again walked around the University, seeing as how I just live down the street from it, and it didn’t require me to drive anywhere. As always, I had no preplanned routes or idea of what I wanted to shoot. I just knew that I wanted to capture whatever caught my eye.

Gardens + Trails - Canon EOS R
With Fall quickly coming, I wanted to get out and enjoy some of the nice weather. After I dropped off my wife at school, I figured it would be a good time to get out. I didn’t really feel like going back home and sitting in front of a computer, trying to do work. The area I chose to explore is one I’m very familiar with and close by to where I live, in and around the University.
