Zoo Animals #4

35mm, Agfa XRS 1000, Alberta, C-41, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000 2 Comments

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 […]

Shooting Fuji F-64D

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, ECN-2, Fuji F-64D, Fuji Motion Picture Film 2 Comments

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 […]

adirondack chairs in the wetlands at Pearce Estate Park

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

110, Alberta, black & white, Calgary, Camera Reviews, Canada, Lomography Orca B&W 100, Rodinal, Rollei A110 2 Comments

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

Alberta, Calgary, Canada, ECN-2, Kodak Vision3 250D (5207), Mamiya C220, medium (120), square No Comments

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

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, ECN-2, Fuji Eterna Vivid 160T, Fuji Motion Picture Film No Comments

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

35mm, Alberta, C-41, Calgary, Canada, Fujica ST801, Lomography LomoChrome Color '92 400 No Comments

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

35mm, Alberta, C-41, Calgary, Canada, Kodak Aerocolor 125, Minolta XG-M No Comments

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.

Shooting FPP InfraChrome Color Infrared 400

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, E-6, FPP InfraChrome Color Infrared 400, Minolta XG-M No Comments

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 […]

Environmental Education Centre, Ralph Klein Park

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

35mm, Alberta, C-41, Calgary, Canada, Dubblefilm Apollo 200, Minolta XG-M No Comments

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.

When you leave a roll of film in a camera for too long, you can take photos in both summer and winter!
