We’re in the middle of Leicester’s annual City Festival week (and a bit) and there are all sorts of things going on around the city including beer festivals, art exhibitions, Oktoberfest, outdoor cinema, the Mela and the city’s SkyRide. Another was the lantern parade up New Walk, and ancient thoroughfare from the city centre to Victoria park. The…
I love shooting my Mamiya 645 it’s a lovely handling camera and I find it easier to compose my images in the 6×4.5 format but I seem to be shooting more and more landscape stuff and find the 80mm lens not wide enough. I happened to mention to a fellow photographer while in a twitter…
There are many things that Toronto is known for, like rabid hockey fans, Drake (sadly), and a robust craft beer scene. But one thing the city isn’t known for is its subway system. It’s small and rather uninspiring. Inspired by a recent post on Atlas Obscura, I took my Hasselblad into the Toronto subway system…
I play in a mens (beer) ice hockey league. Our team is now back to back champions of our division. This is the first championship game I was able to play in. Last time I was sitting in an airport in Paris when the game was being played. It was nice to be on the…
Hmm, where to start with this one? Well, I’ll try from the beginning and keep it brief. At some point nearly two years ago, I was browsing through Twitter and Tim Andrews (who happens to have Parkinsons and was well into his Over the Hill project at the time) had posted something interesting from another…
Well, there’s been a little gap as life got in the way. Predictably, the house mamil rather inconsiderately threw himself off his bike one Sunday evening and is still is recovery. I’ve heard more ‘ows’ than you can shake a stick at in the last few weeks. It’s been…interesting. I also went to Odense and…
Sharing a few odds and ends……From a Trip over Loveland Pass (US Highway 6) a couple of weeks ago. We do this several times a year, including winter. This 11,000+ ft Pass is kept open so that trucks carrying hazardous materials can bypass the Eisenhower Tunnels. We start with the approach from the west side:…
My last couple of posts during week 32 (here and here) saw me hit the 52nd roll mark and explained that this project had become so all consuming that I’d spent a lot of money on another film camera, albeit a rather special one. Less than a week later, and I was off on a trip…
I had so much fun with the Bronica SQ-Ai and the 80mm f/2.8 in week 19 that I shot with the same combo the week after as well. And I shot Ilford HP5+ again. It’s becoming my go to film. I think I can stop buying anything else. 🙂
…same place, midtown garden in Lisbon, this time old expired Provia, with RsSubtle pinhole! Hard to scan, far from perfect, but I liked the mood…
These images are from my return visit to the Garnet Ghost Town, just outside of Missoula Montana. Because we were visiting during the normal visiting hours, we had access to many of the building interiors. Images made with a Mamiya 6, 50 mm wide angle lens, Kodak Tmax 100 film exposed at 50 iso, and…
This week’s entry is in two parts: the city part, and the country part. The city part It’s the depths of August in Paris, which means the streets are deserted. The city is calm, which is pleasant, but many shops and restaurants are closed, which is bad. There are still a few photographic opportunities around,…
