  Some of my Digital Photography.... In the summer of 2020, during the height of the pandemic, many people were picking up new hobbies since everything was closed and there was nothing to do. I decided that I wanted to get into photography so I began scoping out Facebook Marketplace for a camera. I then came across a Canon EOS 7D for sale just a few blocks from my house. The Canon EOS 7D, released in 2009, was one of the best sports and wildlife cameras of its time. It came weather-sealed with an 18mp sensor, an Auto-Focus system that was unmatched for its time, and the ability to shoot up to 8 shots per second. It also came with a pretty hefty price tag back in 2009, retailing at $1,700. However, picking this camera up in 2020 for $200 with just over 5,000 shutter actuations felt like a steal.   Anyways, here are some of my favourite images I've captured with it since.....    

 Using my Canon 7D DSLR as a prop, this diptych connects the photographer (me) with the photograph being taken. Despite giving the illusion that this was shot on my 7D, both photos were actually taken with my iPhone 11. I added heavy vignetting to the second photo to resemble looking through a camera's viewfinder.
