Film on Film

Film on Film, Fuji Instax Mini, instant, Lomography Diana F+, toy camera No Comments

I’ve been working on a new project. I’m photographing every roll of film I own on Fuji Instax Mini film. These are the first two rolls I’ve captured and they are part of a new series I’m calling Film on Film. They were shot using a Diana F+ with Instant Back and it took me […]

Wither Hills

35mm, Canon Canonet QL17 Giii, Kodak Gold 200, New Zealand No Comments

Sarah & I had lunch at Wither Hills Winery one summer in Marlborough, New Zealand. We had lunch in the courtyard where I had an amazing pinot noir. Afterwards, we went inside for a wine tasting and ended up buying a bottle of noble riesling.

Lancaster Bomber

35mm, Alberta, Canada, Canon EOS 3, Imation Scotch Color HP100 No Comments

The Bomber Command Museum of Canada in Nanton, AB is home to a Lancaster bomber (FM-159). On certain days during the year, they take the Lancaster out of the hangar and run the 4 Packard Merlin engines. I was there one summer and snapped these photos on Imation Scotch Color HP100 film. (I also have […]

Park Fountain

Alberta, black & white, Calgary, Canada, Holga 120 CFN, Lomography Lady Grey B&W 400, medium (120), square, toy camera No Comments

This is a photo from Central Memorial Park here in Calgary. I shot this shortly before it was announced that manufacturing of the Holga camera had ceased production. Of course, that decision didn’t last long and the Holga is still being made to this day. I like my Holga and should probably shoot with it […]

Hot Rod

35mm, Alberta, Canada, Canon EOS 3, Lomography Color 400 No Comments

The front end of this hot rod was shot a few years back at the Show ‘n Shine in High River. I was in town photographing hot air balloons when I stumbled onto the Show ‘n Shine. I’m glad I did. It was a perfect way to end an already amazing day of photography: hot […]

Statues at Government Gardens

statue at Government Gardens, Rotorua, NZ

These are photos of a few of the statues on the grounds surrounding Government Gardens in Rotorua, New Zealand. I quite like the way the first photo turned out. I love the look of Kodak Tri-X 400. It is an absolutely beautiful B&W film.

The Cowboy Trail on Instax Wide

Alberta, Canada, Fuji Instax Wide, instant, Lomography Belair X 6-12 Jetsetter No Comments

These are from a day trip I took with some photographers a few years ago. We drove along the Cowboy Trail through southern Alberta with many stops along the way. I shot mostly 35mm that day, but I also had my Belair X 6-12 Jetsetter & Instant Back with me. The first photo is from […]

Lemurs on Kodak Farbwelt 400

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, Kodak Farbwelt 400 No Comments

These lemurs were shot using Kodak Farbwelt 400. I’ve shot Kodak Farbwelt before and those photos turned out better. I’ve also photographed these lemurs on Fuji Superia 100. Those photos also turned out well. This is normal with expired film. As I’ve discussed before, the quality of expired film depends largely on how well it […]

When Expired Film Goes Bad

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

I shoot a lot of expired film. Occasionally, I come across old film that has somehow managed to defy aging. This is usually because it was properly stored over its lifetime. Ferrania Solaris FG 100 and Perutz Primera 100 are two films I own that still look good a decade after the expiry date. And […]

Shooting Ferrania Solaris FG 100 Part 2

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon EOS 3, Ferrania Solaris FG 100 No Comments

portrait shot on Ferrania Solaris FG 100 film

I shot these in Fish Creek Park using discontinued and expired Solaris FG 100 film by Ferrania. I adjusted the ISO to 50 to compensate for the age of the film and I was really excited how the photos turned out. I wish I had more of this film.

Guitar Hero

35mm, China, Kodak Portra 400, Olympus Trip 35 No Comments

I came across this man holding a guitar while walking down the street in Emeishan City. He seemed completely out of place and I was hoping he would play something, but sadly, this ‘Guitar Hero’ never played for us.

Emeishan City

35mm, China, Kodak Portra 400, Olympus Trip 35 2 Comments

Sarah and I visited Emeishan City at the base of Mount Emei (aka Emeishan) in August. Mount Emei is one of the Four Sacred Mountains of Buddhism in China. We actually spent a few nights at Baoguo Temple (aka Baoguosi) and spent a day hiking up Mount Emei-–which was like climbing the world’s longest flight […]

Star Wars AT-AT

Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Fuji Instax Mini, instant, Lomography Diana F+, toy camera No Comments

I own a Diana F+ camera with ‘all the fixins’. I bought the deluxe kit one year and also picked up the Instant Back. The result is that it’s a lot of fun to use all the Diana’s lenses while shooting Instax Mini. I shot this at a friend’s place on Fuji Instax Mini (Star […]

Random Shots from Pearce Estate Park

35mm, Alberta, black & white, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, Kodak BW400CN 2 Comments

I shot these on Kodak BW400CN, a chromogenic B&W film, which isn’t a true B&W film as it is designed to be processed in C-41 chemistry. I’m not a fan of this film and wasn’t sad to see Kodak discontinue its production. I shot these while wandering around Pearce Estate Park.

Kolor Kode

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon EOS 3, Fuji Super HG II 100 No Comments

These photos are of a horse named Kolor Kode that I shot during a show jumping competition at Spruce Meadows one year while attending a photography Meetup. I shot these using expired Fuji Super HG II 100 film that I picked up on eBay.

Fish Creek Park in Winter

old Willans family barn at Fish Creek Park

One winter, I hiked through Fish Creek Park and snapped these photos with my Superheadz Blackbird, Fly TLR. The first photo (#1103) is of the Willans Family barn which was demolished a few years ago. The old log barn was built around 1910 by Norman Willans using white spruce trees that line the banks of […]

Royal Tyrrell Museum

Alberta, Canada, Fuji Instax Square, Fuji Instax Square SQ10, instant No Comments

These dinosaur photos are from the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller, Alberta. Sarah & I took her parents there when they visited us last Christmas. The lighting in the museum is very dim and you’re not supposed to use flash, so I’m happy with the way these turned out.

This is the statue that sits atop the Breckenridge headstone at Union Cemetery.

Cameras

Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Fuji Pro 400H, Mamiya C220, medium (120), square No Comments

These are a few of my smaller cameras. I shot these a few years ago when I first got my Mamiya C220 TLR and a small studio light box. I was quite disappointed with the way these turned out and I’ve never bought another roll of Fuji Pro 400H film.
