Walking Around Dieppe
I shot these one day while walking around Dieppe in France.

Villa Lara
I was fortunate enough to spend a night at the Villa Lara Hotel in Bayeux, France. These photos of my room were shot on Kodak Portra 160.

Honfleur Part 2
These are from Honfleur, France. They were shot using Orwo NP7 400 from Labeauratoire. Unfortunately, this film needed more exposure. As you can see, it turned out rather dark and excessively grainy.

Views of Paris
These views of Paris were shot from the top of the Arc de Triomphe during the summer of 2015.

Courseulles-sur-Mer
These were shot in Courseulles-sur-Mer, Normandy, France last summer on my battlefields tour sponsored by the Juno Beach Centre Museum. Courseulles-sur-Mer is beautiful and I took a lot of photos while I was there. The last shot is of the statue entitled Remembrance and Renewal as seen reflected in the glass of the Juno Beach Centre. These were all shot on Fuji Neopan 400 film which has since been discontinued by Fuji.

Honfleur
These were all shot with my Canon Canonet QL17 Giii. I love this little camera and had a great time capturing these images in Honfleur, France. I spent only an evening here during my trip to Normandy, but it was awesome. I met a lot of friendly people, drank some amazing Calvados brandy, and generally had a good time.

Juno Beach (Shot with Adox Color Implosion)
These were shot at Juno Beach in Courseulles-sur-Mer, Normandy, France last summer using Adox Color Implosion film. Juno Beach is the codename for the beach that the Canadians stormed on D-Day and it is also home to the Juno Beach Centre, a museum dedicated to those Canadians that fought and lost their lives in WWII. The JBC sponsored my trip to Normandy last summer to tour Canadian battlefields and it left a lasting impression on me. The last photo (with all the flags) features a Cross of Lorraine (viewed from the side) that marks the spot where Charles de Gaulle landed on his return to France after D-Day.

Omaha Beach Cemetery
These were shot during my trip to Normandy, France in August. They are from the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial at Omaha Beach. Omaha Beach saw some of the bloodiest fighting on D-Day and the battle and cemetery are both featured in the movie Saving Private Ryan.
These were shot using FPP RetroChrome 160 film and processed as E-6. The film has a bluish tone to it (which isn’t my favourite), but looks awesome when cross-processed (see examples here). If you want to try some RetroChrome, the Film Photography Project is having a 50% off sale on RetroChrome 160 & 320 film until the end of January.

Bicycle in Arromanches
I came across this really cool bicycle in Arromanches-les-Bains when I was in France this summer. Arromanches is where the British built a Mulberry harbour after D-Day in World War II. The remnants of the Mulberry harbour can still be seen today.
I love rescale film and the red, orange and gold tones you can achieve with it. These were shot using FPP Red Scale 50 film from the Film Photography Project.

LomoChrome Turquoise & the Bayeux Cathedral
When I was in France this summer, I took along a roll of Lomography’s LomoChrome Turquoise XR 100-400 35mm film. LomoChrome Turquoise is modelled after Lomography’s LomoChrome Purple film which in turn is modelled after Kodak Aerochrome (this post by The Phoblographer explains it all). LomoChrome Turquoise produces some wild color shifts, but it isn’t cross-processed nor is it an infrared film like Kodak Aerochrome. The effects are created through dyes in the emulsion. All in all, I love the way blue sky is rendered orange, but I hate the turquoise skin tones. You can find a review with many sample shots at Emulsive.
These shots of the 800+ year old cathedral in Bayeux, France were taken with a Superheadz Ultra Wide & Slim.
