I shot these photos on a roll of 30-year-old expired Agfa XRS 1000 that I purchased from a reputable seller on eBay. According to the seller, this film had been cold stored for its entire life. Maybe, maybe not. Regardless, high ISO films do not stand the test of time as well as low ISO […]
These photos are from the Tudor Garden found at Hamilton Gardens in New Zealand. This garden features mythical beasts holding shields and flags sitting atop green and white striped poles amidst a knot garden. Each of the flags features a Tudor rose, while each shield bears the coat of arms associated with the historical figure […]
These photos of stone sculptures were shot on Fuji F-64D. Introduced in 1999 as part of Fuji’s Super F Series, this daylight-balanced motion picture film featured enhanced color reproduction with natural rendering of blue, green and yellow hues. A long, smooth tonal scale along with better performance in high-contrast outdoor lighting helped to increase its […]
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.
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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.
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.
These photos of flowers are from the Auckland Domain Wintergardens. I had a great time shooting these flowers, but the Olympus Pen EED was not up to the task. The combination of an overcast day and an auto exposure camera that often chose a slow shutter speed meant that many of these photos are not […]
