During the golden hour, I stumbled upon this scene while crossing the road—two trolley buses perfectly aligned side by side. In post-production, my focus was on making the trolley buses stand out, and infusing the entire photo with a cinematic mood through color grading.
Street photography without street food is incomplete, right? The reason I snapped this photo was the striking color of the bus and its historic appearance. Even in today's world of luxury, people still crave those old memories and the traditional charm of getting food. When I edited the photo, I aimed for a cinematic color scheme, though I didn't make many other changes.
This wall painting truly captivated me as I strolled through Downtown Toronto streets. I was looking for depth in the foreground, keeping the focus solely on the art. Therefore, I adjusted my camera settings to ISO 400, f/3.2, and a shutter speed of 1/125 sec. During post-production, my goal was to enhance the vibrant colors of the artwork and add a bit of blur in the foreground to create depth where I couldn't achieve it across the entire foreground area.
I aimed to capture someone crossing the road from the pedestrian crossing, and luckily, while waiting, this guy wearing a long coat walked right into my shot (lucky timing!). I took the photo, keeping him centered in the frame. I really appreciate how the image portrays how small and creative we humans are in this vast world. When I edited the photo, I wanted to give it a vintage film feeling, so I adjusted the colors to match that vibe.
I always wanted to take landscape of busy night city. As this was my first time in a city with skyscrapers. I decided to take this shot in Dundas street. I set my camera on F/8 to capture most of the details of the city. If truth to be told, real magic happened on the post-production.
