GIVEAWAY | Win a $60 Gift Card to Henry's Rentals #RentTheGearOwnTheMoment

I enjoy taking photos, especially ones of food (you can tell by our Instagram) so when I do, I try to make it look as appetizing and of quality as possible. Sometime's it's hard to do that with my phone when I'm at events, so I have been in the market for a DSLR (still am). But before I commit myself to making that big purchase, I wanted to play around with one to make sure I choose the right one. That's when I learned of the rental service at Henry's Cameras - yup, you can rent from their large selection of DSLR cameras, lenses, camera accessories & more!



Henry's is one of Canada's top sources for the newest and best products staffing imaging experts and offering competitive pricing.  Not only that, Henry's School of Imaging offer new and skilled photography-enthusiasts a variety of classes - remember the Phone-O-Graphy class I attended?

For my recent trip to Boston, I wanted to take a DSLR that would allow me to take great cityscapes and landscapes as well as a zoom lens for food photography.  But, I couldn't just stake out $1,000 on a new camera when I just used that money on a trip. That's when I turned to Henry's Rentals list of available rental cameras! You can rent for a day, a weekend or a whole week at great prices.

Once I chose the product, the process was fast and easy. Fill out the form, submit and pick up the product during their office hours. Between the Nikon D750 and Canon EOS 6D, I went with the Nikon. I had fun shooting with the Nikon D750 (value: $155 for the weekend) but in the end, I realized it's not quite what I want. I'm still in the market for one, so perhaps I'll try a the Canon next!

Renting a camera or a lens is a great option for someone: 
1) like me that just wanted to try a camera before committing to making a big purchase
2) a photographer that needs a specific lens for a project or an event
3) a photographer in need of a backup camera, lens or other photography equipment

If you're in the market for a camera, today's your lucky day...

REVIEW | Schnitzel Hub

If vodka, Biergarten or Eastern European food means anything to you then Schnitzel Hub is the place you want to be. The diversity of cuisines has expanded in the St. Clair and Yonge area with Schnitzel Hub's second location.  Unlike the Schnitzel Hub's first location in Vaughan, this new spot offers a full bar, many more seatings for groups as well as a private dining area.   For vodka lovers, you'll be surprised to see some artisan house-infused vodkas at Schnitzel Hub with crazy flavours like lemon & ginger, candy, smoked bacon and even honey & chili pepper! I suggest you sip these infused vodkas to really taste the flavours.  Personally, I enjoyed the lemon & ginger but many others were raving about the horseradish! Now, onto the food offerings. This restaurant prides itself on creating homemade, authentic meals from Eastern an Central Europe with a focus on schnitzels.  I must say the portions here are very generous so it's a great spot to go for din...

REVIEW | HoneyButter - Decadent Macarons and more...

Who doesn't love desserts? We certainly do and that's why we were so excited to try out HoneyButter's   macarons!    HoneyButter is a private dessert company founded by Grace who offers a wide variety of desserts including cheesecakes, tarts, cupcakes cookies and of course macarons.  Anyone who likes to bake will tell you that baking is essentially a science. Proportions have to be exact or else the result turns out to be one of those "baking fails" that everyone laughs about. However, not all baking is created equally...cookies and breads tend to be on the easier side and then there are the macarons...in their perfect little shells just taunting you to attempt conquering them. Having tried and failed numerous times at making macarons myself, it's nice to know I can contact HoneyButter  to order some and know that when they arrive they'll look nothing like my own personal baking fail. The list of flavours for macarons is almost never ending and for HoneyBu...

REVIEW | CC Lounge & Supper Club

The first step inside the new CC Lounge & Supper Club on Yonge & Front will immediately draw your attention to their life-size gold-rimed birdcage, supple leather couches, wooden barrel tables and exposed brick wall - all meticulously designed to create the prohibition-era inspired atmosphere.  This Whisky specialty lounge provides guests a delicious menu full of comfort food as well as Whisky Tastings in their unique 'Whisky Tunnel.' The CC Lounge & Supper Club is quite spacious with lounge areas and the main bar at the front and more dining tables for groups and the infamous whisky tunnel towards the back of the restaurant.  The two spaces can be divided easily with velvet curtains, making it a great spot for groups and parties for special occasions. As I mentioned before, the decor is very eye catching! Beautiful swarovski crystal chandeliers are hung diagonally providing interesting light source and the exposed brick wall throughout the entire space stays true...
