Flower Heads
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.
Pearce Estate Park #2
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
Inglewood Bird Sanctuary
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 FPP InfraChrome Color Infrared 400
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 […]
Harvie Passage #2
I was excited this day to photograph a kayaker as well as a group paddling a raft through Harvie Passage.
Ralph Klein Park #3
I shot these photos in Ralph Klein Park. The first two photos feature an art installation called Hawk Hill Calgary Sentinels designed by artist Beverly Pepper. Three monoliths rise above two mounds shaped like pyramids meant to “herald the uniqueness of the wetlands”. The last three photos are of the Environmental Education Centre.
Canada Day 2022
These photos are from Canada Day in 2022. While this wasn’t exactly what I was expecting when I loaded my camera with Dubblefilm Apollo 200, I do quite like the look of the colors this film gave me.
Summer & Winter
When you leave a roll of film in a camera for too long, you can take photos in both summer and winter!
Walk Along the Bow River #5
I shot these photos on an expired roll of Kodak Tri-X 320 that a friend gave me.
Ralph Klein Park #2
These are from the first roll I put through my Fuji GS645S and were all shot at Ralph Klein Park.
Wetland Wonders
These photos were shot in the wetlands at Pearce Estate Park using the new Ferrania Orto 50 film.
Shooting Dubblefilm Apollo 200
This wasn’t what I was expecting when I shot Dubblefilm Apollo 200. Then again, I don’t know what I was expecting. This is the thing about shooting experimental, pre-flashed films. Even if the manufacturing process yielded a consistent result (which it doesn’t), there are still too many variables from lighting conditions to scanning to give […]
