First Nations Bronze Statues
These photos of bronze statues of First Nations people were taken in the Artisan Gardens at Bow Valley Ranche in Fish Creek Park. The Artisan Gardens honour the First Nations people who used to live in Fish Creek Valley.

Shooting on Instax
I also bought an Instant Back for my Belair X 6-12 Jetsetter. It’s a lot of fun (my niece and nephew love it!) even though it’s not the easiest thing to use. Fuji Instax film is notoriously sensitive to light and even though it’s rated at ISO 800, I think it behaves more like ISO 3200. The Instant Back comes with two ND filters to use with the Belair X 6-12 in order to reduce the amount of light reaching the film and instructions on how to control exposure by playing with the Belair X 6-12’s ISO dial. Even when you follow the instructions, your photos almost always turn out under or overexposed.
These were taken in July 2014. The first is of the new South Health Campus in Calgary, while the rest are from Il Giardino Italiano (Italian Garden) at Hastings Park in Vancouver.

Scotsman’s Hill
I bought a Belair X 6-12 Jetsetter with a 35mm Back from Lomography. I love the 35mm Back because it lets me shoot panoramas that are 3 conventional 35mm frames long with the sprockets exposed!
These were the first photos I took with the 35mm Back and were shot in the summer of 2014 from Scotsman’s Hill in Calgary. I scanned them myself using an Epson Perfection V600 Photo scanner using VueScan software. For its ease of use, quality and pricing, I wouldn’t recommend any other scanning software on the market.
