52 Week Challenge: Week 2
Here is the second installment in my 52 Week Photography Challenge. Week 2’s challenge was to take a traditional landscape photo. This was taken at Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park. I shot this on some newly acquired Svema Color DS 100 film that I ordered online from Ukraine. Not bad for film that expired in 2002!

Shooting with Labeauratoire [kromiem] 500
These were shot at the Calgary Zoo using Labeauratoire [kromiəm] 500 slide film that I then had cross-processed at The Darkroom. As you can see, the color shifted towards yellow. I don’t really like it cross-processed, so when I shot a roll at Christmas, I had it developed as E-6. It turned out much better, but was a little underexposed (I shot it all indoors). I think the next time I shoot [kromiəm] (I bought 3 rolls) I will shoot outdoors on a bright sunny day, maybe overexpose it by about a stop, and develop it as E-6. I’ll let you know how that goes.

Vintage Fire Trucks
These vintage Ford fire trucks were shot at the Bomber Command Museum in Nanton.

Bristol Hercules Engine
I took these photos of one of the Bristol Hercules engines owned by the Bomber Command Museum of Canada. This engine works and would have originally been mounted on a Handley Page ‘Halifax’ bomber. You can see it below being serviced by a member of the museum’s Halifax team who are working towards the goal of acquiring, restoring and displaying a Halifax bomber.
These were shot using FPP RetroChrome 160 film that was then cross-processed.

Fountain Statues
I shot these over Christmas as it snowed using Kodak Tri-X 400 film. I love this film! It has a wide exposure latitude and good contrast and I always get great results.

Flamingos
Every year, the Calgary Zoo hosts an event for photographers called ‘Focused’. During the event, the Zoo opens two hours early for photographers to photograph the animals in the early morning light. These photos of Chilean flamingos were taken during last year’s Focused event.
-
Dinosaurs
These were taken at the Calgary Zoo in the Prehistoric Park. The dinosaur exhibit is actually pretty big and on a perfect day, it’s a great place to snap photographs. I think the cross-processed Fuji Sensia 100 film gives the scene an ethereal, other-worldly look and feel that is just right for photos of dinosaurs.

Nanton Grain Elevators
I took a daytrip to Nanton back in June and just had to photograph the grain elevators while I was there.

Packards
I took a trip this summer down to Nanton, Alberta to the Bomber Command Museum and while I was there came across these Packards on display. These were shot using FPP RetroChrome 160 film that was then cross-processed. I love Ektachrome and FPP RetroChrome is nothing more than expired government-surplus Ektachrome 2239. I thought these turned out well, but then Ektachrome loves sunny days!

Redscale Penguins
I took these back in June using my Canon EOS 3 and a roll of Lomography Redscale XR 50-200 film. I love the golden yellow and orange tones of this film! To get this effect, I shot this film at ISO 50. The penguins in the pictures are Humboldt penguins. They are native to Chile and Peru, however these guys live in the Calgary Zoo.
