The question is, which if the weather apps will be right? #weathernetwork is showing 10-12 cm, #weatherchannel is showing 5-6cm, #accuweather is showing 5cm and #ctv is showing 5-6cm. Or will they all be wrong and we get 20cm!!

This photo was taken at about 660mm and I could have taken this picture in a couple of ways. I could have 1) taken this photo natively at 400mm on my 100-400mm lens, and cropped to get this result, or 2) I could have used my 2x teleconverter on my 100-400mm to get to 660mm without cropping. . The difference? Using 2), my f-stop is limited to f/11 and above, which means I need to rely on my ISO to get the exposure I’m looking for yielding a little more grain in my image. . If I used method 1) I could have used a much lower ISO but resulting in a smaller resolution image. . Which method would you use? .

This is how I know I’m getting old. . Yesterday morning’s temperature of about (feels like) -32C was probably one of the coldest mornings in recent memory. . I was prepared and bundled up real well. While I was happily taking photos I noticed another photographer enjoying the beautiful scene that unfolded in front of us. He was a young gun with apparently a much higher threshold for dealing with the cold. Wearing thin jogging pants (vs. My two layers of thick pants), a winter jacket that was unzipped at the front, no hat or scarf (vs. My parka, hood, scarf, and toque), and to my recollection he didn’t even have gloves or mittens on (vs my glove, mitten combo, plus hand warmers). . He ran around taking photos so he probably did feel a little cold, but that’s when I realized I can’t compete with the strength (or craziness) of the next generation of photographers these days. . In this photo a lone duck flies above Lake Ontario as the sun rises above the horizon. Thick lake fog hovers over the icy surface while a thicker layer of clouds in the back make for a true Canadian winter scene! . Nikon Z 9 with Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S at 400mm, 1/1000sec.

I may be a little biased but I do think we have one of the best looking skylines! Don’t you think so too? . The last sunrise that I was able to catch for 2021 wasn’t anything spectacular. In fact, the blue hour vibes of the city and its reflection was the true hero of the morning. .

Here’s a beautiful sunrise taken earlier this week where the ice crystals in the cirrus clouds refract sunlight producing this halo and upper tangent arc (at the top of the halo). . This is a three-shot vertical panorama taken with the Nikon Z 7 with 35mm f/1.8 S lens. . #torontosunriseseriesbytaku #nikonca #nikonnofilter #weathernetwork #theweatherchannel #halo #weatherphenomenon #etobicoke #lakeshoregrounds #panorama #seetorontonow #explorecanada #cityoftoronto (at Colonel Samuel Smith Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CI--LrRBRtf/?igshid=ux0fs3ggv38a

During this deep freeze in 2018 there were layers and layers of clouds above Lake Ontario in addition to the steam rising from the surface of the lake. You can also see a funnel cloud here, which was one of several seen near the horizon. . How many layers of clouds do you see? .

This second post of my trio of solar-phenomenon related photos comes from a sunrise at Niagara Falls. The sun pillar you see here extends from the sun, which is still below the horizon. . Sun pillars are seen when the sunlight refracts from horizontally oriented ice crystals in the atmosphere and can reach quite the distance up above the sun. These are more commonly seen when the sun is near the horizon on colder days. . Have you seen these sun pillars before? .
