Superheadz Ultra Wide & Slim: Blue Ribbon

In case you haven’t heard, RETO recently announced that they are (re)releasing the Ultra Wide & Slim camera. After reading the recent coverage by Emulsive and Kosmo Foto, I decided that I need to share my review of this iconic little camera. This is one of my favourite cameras and I take it with me […]

Duck Crossing

35mm, Lomography Color 800, New Zealand, Superheadz Ultra Wide & Slim, toy camera No Comments

I was quite thrilled to discover a “duck crossing” sign when visiting Tauranga, New Zealand. Sarah and I took a walk one afternoon around this lake and true to form, I spotted some ducks crossing the road. While I understand why they would cross the road to get to the lake, I have no idea […]

Sarah’s Guitar Fund

35mm, Alberta, black & white, Calgary, Canada, Canon EOS 3, Kodak Tri-X 400, Xtol No Comments

I shot this a while back when Sarah was saving up for a guitar. At the time, I thought that maybe I should make my own jar and call it ‘Dan’s Camera Fund’. But then I thought that’s what my pay cheque is called!

More Detritus from the Flood

2013 Calgary flood detritus in Fish Creek Park

These photos depict more of the debris and detritus left behind by the 2013 flood in Calgary. I shot these while testing a roll of Orwo NP22 film. For a roll of film that expired in 1993, it has aged fairly well. It’s box speed is 125 ISO, but I shot these at 64 ISO […]

Kettle Valley Railway

35mm, BC, black & white, Canada, Canon EOS 3, Kodak Tri-X 400 No Comments

The Kettle Valley Railway was a railway that ran across southern Bristish Columbia through Myra Canyon and operated during the first half of the 20th century. It was finally abandoned in 1989 with portions converted into a recreational trail. Sadly, a 2003 forest fire destroyed 14 of the 18 original wooden trestle bridges in Myra […]

Lake Louise

35mm, Alberta, Canada, Canon EOS 3, Fuji Super G Plus 100 No Comments

These photos are from a trip I took to Lake Louise five years ago. I had taken many more photos that weekend, but unfortunately those rolls of film were lost in the mail when I sent them to The Darkroom for processing. I lost 8 rolls of film due to some sort of mishap with […]

First Impressions of the Pentax Spotmatic SP II

35mm, Alberta, black & white, Calgary, Canada, Fuji Neopan Acros 100, Pentax Spotmatic SP II, Xtol No Comments

I bought the Pentax Spotmatic SP II on a whim back in May. It has some good reviews online and since I already own many M42 lenses, including a 50mm f/1.4 Super-Multi-Coated Takumar, I decided to buy it. My SP II is in great condition. Cosmetically, there are some very minor scratches but no dings. […]

Lundbreck Falls

35mm, Alberta, Canada, Canon EOS 3, Kodak UltraMax 400 No Comments

Five years ago, I took a road trip with my photography club down to Lundbreck Falls, a 2-hour drive south of Calgary via the Cowboy Trail. While I was shooting photos from the top of the falls, a man walked up and decided to stretch out on the rocks. Naturally, I had to snap some […]

Hong Kong at Night

35mm, China, Hong Kong, Kodak UltraMax 400, Olympus Trip 35 No Comments

Sarah and I happened to be in Hong Kong during the 2019 pro-democracy protests. While we did encounter protests at the airport, we had no such encounters the night before when we wandered around Temple Street. In fact, the Temple Street Night Market was incredibly underwhelming when compared to Xi’an’s Muslim Quarter at night. Xi’an […]

Elbow Falls in Winter

35mm, Alberta, C-41, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, Kodak Kodacolor VR 1000 No Comments

After a fairly long stretch of -20 °C temperatures last winter, Sarah and I headed to Elbow Falls in the hopes that we might see a frozen waterfall. It was a gorgeous day at the Falls and a brisk wind made it quite chilly, but after a short hike, we discovered that Elbow Falls had […]
