Still on our road trip through the Plains. Many interesting things seen along the way….So I will pose the question to you. What is this? The story is, we had stopped at a roadside rest area along the interstate highway when I spied this going on across the road. So what are they loading in…
Week 23: It’s all about spring flowers. Two cameras that week, my Contax 645 and my Hasselblad 503CW, both with Kodak Portra 400 film. Week 24: Next up is a visit to Riverdale Farm. Riverdale Farm is a 7.5 acre city operated farm in the heart of Cabbagetown, an urban neighbourhood in Toronto. Camera…
My first pack of Impossible Project Film shot with my new SLR670-S which takes both ISO 100 and 600 film, a combination SX-70 and SLR680. I had never shot instant film before so in the spirit of “it’s film what’s not to love” attitude I went out on a warm (for winter), sunny day to give it a try.…
Week 10: Randomness in the area of Sunnybrook Hospital testing out the latest acquisition, a Pentax 645N. It’s a keeper. Week 11: Back to nature at the Toronto Botanical Gardens Week 12: Playing with the Lensbaby Plastic at the Toronto Botanical Gardens Week 13: And back to a bit of colour along the Don River…
Week Seven: Winter just begs for black and white so I gave in…These images were made along Queen Street East, Toronto. Week Eight: It’s still winter and while I do not shoot alot in black and white and when I do it must be Kodak Tri-X, I was rather enjoying it. I also wanted to…
It was a few days after Christmas so finding anything “red” was not too hard and I’m all about making life easy. I was terribly smitten by the dressed-up dog and even walked onto what I consider private property to get closer. All the images were captured in the Beach, Toronto. Thanks for stopping…
It was a very red day. Hasselblad 503CXi, Planar f/2.8 80mm CFE, Kodak Portra 400
First posting and I’m super excited to start. I was talked into this by another photographer and every so often I am disturbed by only one small unanswered question…why would I want to start a project like this at the beginning of a Toronto winter? Snow, rain, ice, and more snow topped off with cold…
I have seen the Ilford black and white disposable (or “single-use”) cameras in a drug store for the past couple of years and wondered about them. Finally I bought one of the XP2 versions (the other contains HP5 Plus). This is nearly as simple as cameras come. It has a plastic 30mm f-9.5 lens and 1/100th…
Testing a Minolta AF-Sv, also known as the Talker, with a roll of film (Fuji Superia X-TRA 400), images included
Inspired by the work of several photographer I follow on Instagram and/or are associated with on other social media sites, I decided to try my hand at a whole roll of double exposures in color. I decided to use another precious roll of Fuji Velvia because the colors are so saturated, I thought it would…
I’ve now reached a point where rolls and weeks roughly coincide again. This week’s roll was Agfa APX 100, a film I’ve shot a few times before. I really like it for its fine grain and nice range of values. I have to say I’m impressed at how it performed in the large variety of…
