The Trouble with Scanning Redscale Film

110, Alberta, C-41, Calgary, Canada, Kodak Ektralite 500, Lomography Lobster Redscale 200, redscale No Comments

The trouble with scanning redscale film is that the scanning software will try to correct for the red and yellow color cast in the images. The resulting images are often washed out and grainy and require manual correction to get the expected redscale look. I use VueScan and Negative Lab Pro to scan and convert […]

Film on Film #13

Film on Film, Fuji Instax Mini, instant, Lomography Diana F+, toy camera No Comments

Photos taken at night with CineStill 800T are easy to recognize as the film has no anti-halation layer and therefore lights always have a red halo around them. I haven’t shot CineStill 800T in a while, mostly because it’s not cheap, but also because I rarely shoot at night. If I want or need an […]

First Impressions of the Zeiss Ikon Signal Nettar 518/16

Alberta, C-41, Calgary, Camera Reviews, Canada, Kodak Ektar 100, medium (120), square, Zeiss Ikon Signal Nettar 518/16 No Comments

This is my first roll through the Zeiss Ikon Signal Nettar 518/16 and I’m impressed! Until I bought this camera, I didn’t think folding cameras were anything special, but I was wrong. The Signal Nettar features a sharp lens, is easy to use, and was a lot of fun to shoot. The Signal Nettar is […]

This garden features mythical beasts holding shields and flags sitting atop green and white striped poles amidst a knot garden. Each of the flags features a Tudor rose, while each shield bears the coat of arms associated with the historical figure […]

The Historic Village #2

35mm, black & white, Ilford HP5 Plus 400, New Zealand, Olympus Trip 35 No Comments

These photos are from the Historic Village in Tauranga, New Zealand. It’s not as cool as Calgary’s Heritage Park, but it was still interesting to visit.

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 […]

Fuji Eterna 400T (rolled by Nik & Trick)

A few years ago, I was lucky enough to acquire four rolls of 35mm film containing Fuji motion picture film stocks that were left over from shooting movies. Fuji stopped manufacturing motion picture film in March 2013, so it is now quite rare to come across any of this film in 35mm. Over the past […]

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 […]

Here are a few photos shot at the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary. Sadly, there are no birds in the photos, but you can see the historic home of Colonel James Walker in the background.

Shooting Portraits with the Diana Baby 110

110, Lomography Diana Baby 110, Lomography Peacock Slide / X-Pro 200, square, toy camera No Comments

One of the only cool things about the Diana Baby 110 camera is that it has a PC Sync port on the top. So, naturally, I connected it to my studio strobes and shot some portraits.
