Shooting Fuji Eterna 400T
This is Fuji Eterna 400T, the third of four rolls containing Fuji motion picture film I purchased from the UK. Introduced in 2006 as Fuji expanded their Eterna line, this tungsten-balanced motion picture film features natural colors, smooth skin tones, and enhanced shadow detail made possible with Fuji’s Super Nano-Structured Σ (Sigma) Grain Technology. Eterna […]
Legs
I came across these leggy mannequins while walking through Olympic Plaza and had to photograph them.
First Impressions of the Zeiss Ikon Signal Nettar 518/16
This is my first roll through the Zeiss Ikon Signal Nettar 518/16 and I’m impressed! Until I bought this camera, I didn’t think folding cameras were anything special, but I was wrong. The Signal Nettar features a sharp lens, is easy to use, and was a lot of fun to shoot. The Signal Nettar is […]
Zoo Animals #4
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
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 […]
A Matter of Perspective
I shot these Volkswagen Golfs from three different perspectives wanting to capture the colors of the cars.
Stephen Avenue
I shot these photos on Calgary’s historic Stephen Avenue one summer while on my way to Carifest.
Flower Heads
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.
Pearce Estate Park #2
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
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
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
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
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
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.
Inglewood Bird Sanctuary
Here are a few photos shot at the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary. Sadly, there are no birds in the photos, but you can see the historic home of Colonel James Walker in the background.
