Église Saint-Jacques

35mm, Canon Rebel 2000, France, Tudor Colour 200 No Comments

These photos are from the Église Saint-Jacques in Dieppe, France. The construction of this church began sometime in the 12th century. You can supposedly trace the history of gothic architecture over four centuries as this church wasn’t finished until the 16th century. As you can see in the photos, the Église Saint-Jacques is in need […]

Shooting Kodak Elite Chrome 100

35mm, Alberta, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, cross-processed, Kodak Elite Chrome 100 No Comments

cross-processed Kodak Elite Chrome - blues & greens

This is cross-processed Kodak Elite Chrome 100 and I love how just by varying the exposure, the film gave me a very different colour palette. I wish I had recorded the exposure of each frame on the morning I shot these photos, but alas I wasn’t that smart. I’ve posted other photos from this roll, […]

I shot these photos on a hike at Grassi Lakes. My fellow hikers that day could not understand why I was shooting film, lol.

Flamingos #2

I photographed these Chilean flamingos at the Calgary Zoo. One flamingo spent an awfully long time with his head in the barrel. Maybe he was camera shy?

Even More CineStill 400D

35mm, Alberta, C-41, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, CineStill 400D No Comments

I shot these photos of some dancers at this year’s Lilac Festival. These are the only photos from my first roll of CineStill 400D where the skin tones look natural. Despite my complaints about desaturated skin tones (see my last post), I am still quite happy with this film. I especially like the soft color […]

More CineStill 400D

35mm, Alberta, C-41, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, CineStill 400D No Comments

Here are some more photos shot from my first roll of the new CineStill 400D. I shot these photos of music artist Amelie Patterson at this year’s Lilac Festival and was disappointed to see the way this new film rendered skin tones. These are not the “rich, warm skin tones” that I was expecting. Instead, […]

Shooting CineStill 400D

35mm, Alberta, C-41, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, CineStill 400D No Comments

Earlier this year, CineStill announced the release of a new color film: CineStill 400 Dynamic! Many have assumed that this is the same emulsion as Kodak’s Vision3 cinema film, but without the Remjet layer. CineStill has assured us that it is, in fact, a new emulsion. Either way, I picked up 2 early bird rolls […]

Fungus-Infested Film

35mm, Agfa CT Precisa 200, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, color shift No Comments

I’ve shared photos from this roll of Agfa CT Precisa 200 before (see When Expired Film Goes Bad), but at that time I did not know the cause of the spots. I thought it may have had something to do with the age of the film or poor storage conditions. I was partially right. I […]

Lavender Hat

35mm, Canon Rebel 2000, Ferrania Solaris FG 400i, France No Comments

Here are two more photos of a fellow passenger aboard a river cruise, this time in Paris. I was on a sightseeing cruise on the Seine when I noticed a woman wearing a lavender hat taking a selfie and snapped a few photos myself.

Canada Goose

35mm, Alberta, C-41, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, Konica Centuria Super 400 No Comments

The Canada goose is often considered a nuissance, probably because they can turn a beautiful grassy field into one covered with their excrement. On this day, they allowed me to photograph them relaxing in the morning sun.

Canada House

35mm, Canon Rebel 2000, France, Kodak Ektar 100 2 Comments

This beachfront house in Bernières-sur-Mer, France is the home of Hervé & Nicole Hoffer. Known as ‘Canada House’, it was originally owned by Hervé’s grandfather and was the first house liberated on D-Day by the Allies. Over the years, Hervé has turned his home into a museum and shrine to the members of the Queen’s […]

Bayeux

35mm, Canon Rebel 2000, France, Kodak Portra 160 No Comments

These photos were shot in Bayeux, a town in Normandy, France. I spent a few nights in Bayeux, using it as a home base to explore many of the surrounding towns and WWII battlefields. I even had the opportunity to wander freely inside the Bayeux Cathedral, which was consecrated in 1077 by William the Conqueror’s […]

Railroad Tracks

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, cross-processed, Fuji Velvia 100 No Comments

As I was putting this post together, it occurred to me that I have never processed Fuji Velvia 100 normally. I have only ever cross-processed this film. As much as I like this look, fortunately, I have a few more rolls left and will have to develop the next one in E6 chemistry. These photos […]
