Wintergardens Triptych

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

One of the things I love about half-frame cameras, like the Olympus Pen EED, is the ability to create diptychs and triptychs. It’s a great way to create panoramas or simply to juxtapose two images. I made this triptych of Auckland’s Wintergardens last year when Sarah and I were in New Zealand visiting family. It […]

Bromide Drag

35mm, Alberta, black & white, Calgary, Canada, JCH Street Pan 400, Lomography Belair X 6-12 Jetsetter, panorama, Rodinal No Comments

These strange concentric circles that appear in the first two photos are the result of bromide drag and it’s a byproduct of developing film with little or no agitation, such as when using semi-stand or stand development. Bromide drag occurs during development when bromide builds up around the sprocket holes of the film and then […]

Experimentation

35mm, Alberta, black & white, Calgary, Canada, Mamiya C220, Orwo NP7 400, panorama, Rodinal, sprockets, Workflow No Comments

I like to experiment. Some experiments happen on a whim (“I wonder what would happen if I…”) and some experiments are methodically planned and executed. Given my busy schedule, the latter can sometimes take a few years. These photos represent two experiments: one a whim and the other planned. The First Experiment (the Whim) The […]

Grassi Lakes #2

Alberta, Canada, Kodak Ektachrome 100 EPN, Lomography Belair X 6-12 Jetsetter, medium (120), multiple exposure, panorama No Comments

This 6×12 panorama was an accidental double-exposure. At first glance it looks like an image of trees are layered over the sky, but it’s not as simple as that. Those trees belong to the scene on the left of a group of rock climbers, while the mountains and the lake in the center and to […]

Calgary Skyline

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Kodak ProFoto XL 100, Lomography Belair X 6-12 Jetsetter, panorama, sprockets No Comments

These were shot with the Lomography Belair X 6-12 Jetsetter using the 35mm Back so that I could shoot sprockets. I scanned them myself using the Lomography Digitaliza 35mm scanning mask.

Scotsman’s Hill

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Fuji Superia X-tra 400, Lomography Belair X 6-12 Jetsetter, panorama, sprockets No Comments

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 […]
