Shooting Fuji F-64D

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, ECN-2, Fuji F-64D, Fuji Motion Picture Film 2 Comments

These photos of stone sculptures were shot on Fuji F-64D. Introduced in 1999 as part of Fuji’s Super F Series, this daylight-balanced motion picture film featured enhanced color reproduction with natural rendering of blue, green and yellow hues. A long, smooth tonal scale along with better performance in high-contrast outdoor lighting helped to increase its […]

My wife’s parents lived here but have since moved. It’s too bad. I really liked this place, especially the garden.

giraffe necks made of flowers at the Calgary Zoo

I photographed these large flower displays in the shape of animals at the Calgary Zoo last year. There’s a crow sitting atop the giraffe’s head in the last photo.

adirondack chairs in the wetlands at Pearce Estate Park

These photos are from a walk through the wetlands at Pearce Estate Park and were shot on Kodak Vision3 200T (5213). As much as I love Kodak’s Vision3 films, I hate dealing with remjet. It can be a pain to remove it and ensure that it is all gone. To the naked eye, it may […]

First Impressions of the Rollei A110

110, Alberta, black & white, Calgary, Camera Reviews, Canada, Lomography Orca B&W 100, Rodinal, Rollei A110 2 Comments

The Rollei A110 is a small, solid, over-engineered 110 camera that is a lot of fun to shoot. It’s compact size and sliding action film-advance will bring out your inner spy. It’s hard not to feel like a covert agent with this camera. Advertised by Rollei as the smallest and most expensive instant-loading camera for […]

Stoney Trail

Alberta, Calgary, Canada, ECN-2, Kodak Vision3 250D (5207), Mamiya C220, medium (120), square No Comments

This photo of Stoney Trail passing over the western end of Bowness Park was shot on Kodak Vision3 250D (5207) hand-rolled by Whatevergraphy from 65mm stock. Since 65mm motion picture film has sprockets and is wider than 120 roll film, trimming the film down to fit 120 does not remove the sprockets. I chose to […]

Shooting Fuji Eterna Vivid 160T

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, ECN-2, Fuji Eterna Vivid 160T, Fuji Motion Picture Film No Comments

This is Fuji Eterna Vivid 160T. Introduced in 2007, this film was part of the Fuji motion picture line of films until Fuji ceased all motion picture manufacturing on March 31, 2013. Boasting intense color, high contrast, and exceptional image sharpness, Eterna Vivid 160T was the product of new technologies that Fuji developed at the […]

Ferrari 308 GTB

35mm, Alberta, C-41, Calgary, Canada, Fujica ST801, Lomography LomoChrome Color '92 400 No Comments

These photos of a Ferrari GTB 308 (my favourite car) were taken last month at the European Classic Car Meet. After the last car show I attended, I felt I needed a lens wider than the 35mm f/3.5 Takumar I had used that day. So a few months ago, I bought a 24mm f/3.5 Takumar […]

Gasoline Alley Museum

35mm, Alberta, C-41, Calgary, Canada, Kodak Aerocolor 125, Minolta XG-M No Comments

I took these photos in Gasoline Alley Museum at Heritage Park. The lighting wasn’t bright enough for a handheld shot, so I had to place my camera on anything nearby (a railing, a table, etc) in order to take a photo.

Rouleauville

35mm, Alberta, C-41, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, Konica Super XG 100 No Comments

I shot these photos on a walk through what was once known as ‘Rouleauville’, a Francophone settlement in the late 1800’s that was eventually annexed in 1907 by the city of Calgary as it grew.

Wintergardens #3

35mm, C-41, half-frame, Kodak Ektar 100, New Zealand, Olympus Pen EED No Comments

These photos of flowers are from the Auckland Domain Wintergardens. I had a great time shooting these flowers, but the Olympus Pen EED was not up to the task. The combination of an overcast day and an auto exposure camera that often chose a slow shutter speed meant that many of these photos are not […]

Shooting FPP InfraChrome Color Infrared 400

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, E-6, FPP InfraChrome Color Infrared 400, Minolta XG-M No Comments

These photos were shot on FPP InfraChrome Color Infrared 400. I bought this roll back in 2016 and kept it in my freezer for a few years before I finally shot it around Calgary. I used a Tiffen #12 yellow filter to achieve the infrared color effect. Most of these photos were shot at ISO […]
