The Victoria Day long weekend in Canada marks the beginning of an all summer long firework displays in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Every Friday, Sunday, and holiday between May 18 and September 2, the sky above the Falls will be lit up by beautiful fireworks. The photo above was taken last night, the opening night of [...]

Down The Hallway

A photo by FW Photos on Flickr. I took this photo in the hallway of the Meadowvale 4 Rinks, where my kids attend their figure skating classes. It was taken during the Wheels Walking Competition last October. Along with getting 10,000 steps a day I also wanted to do a photo a day – a [...]

The Exchange, Mississauga Farmers’ Market

Franklin Wang — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 02:02:45 +0000

I have been receiving quite a few page views on my Mississauga Farmers’ Market post, even more than a month after it was published. It seems that many people are looking for information as the opening date for the 36th Annual Farmers’ Market is fast approaching. So I thought I would post another candid photo [...]

Dancing on the Water

Port Credit is a beautiful place day and night. If you follow my photography, you probably have seen many pictures I have taken in and around this area. When I was there two weeks ago, I couldn’t help but snapped another one when I saw the lights from the lighthouse and street lamps leaped and [...]

Creating A Family Album, On the Cloud

Franklin Wang — Sat, 07 Apr 2012 15:34:56 +0000

A few years ago I created a slideshow of my children’s photos using Windows Live Movie Maker and completed with some of my favourite easy listening tunes. I then burned the slideshow onto DVDs and gave them to my brother and sisters. That was before Facebook became very popular. In fact, there were only about [...]

Awakening

Goodbye winter and hello spring. I have been living in the Toronto area for the last 28 years, and I can’t remember the last time we had such a dreadful winter like the passing one, in which there was no accumulation of snow and everything was just brown and grey. So I am super excited [...]

Spring Impressionism

Franklin Wang — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 15:09:36 +0000

Here is an image I made a couple of days ago at lunch. Working nearby the Centennial Park Conservatory is a real advantage for a shutterbug like me. There are 7 or 8 flower shows throughout the year, so there is always something to shoot. I am only limited by my own creative vision.

Mississauga Farmers’ Market

Franklin Wang — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 17:54:54 +0000

The warm weather that we had yesterday made me think of the fresh vegetables and fruits at the local Farmers’ Markets, so I pulled this image out from my archive and edited it just a bit to boost the colours and contrast. It won’t be long before the Farmers’ Markets will reopen again.

Muskoka Chairs, Blue Mountain Village

Franklin Wang — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 22:24:06 +0000

Love these bright, bold, and vibrant colours? I do. It seems like someone purposely arranged these chairs and put a blue chair in between the yellow, orange, and red for me to create this colourful image. Do you know that the Muskoka chairs were originally known as the Westport chairs? The original chair was designed [...]

Old Truck, Blue Mountain Village

Franklin Wang — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 02:32:06 +0000

I unexpectedly found this old truck just outside the Blue Mountain Ski Resort. It was fenced off as it was a popular photographic subject with many people standing around the fence and taking family photos. In order to avoid having other people in my pictures, I leaned over the fence and got really close to [...]
