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.

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.

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.

Damaged Headstones

35mm, Alberta, black & white, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, Svema FN64 No Comments

On one of my many trips to Union Cemetery, I shot these B&W photos of damaged and deteriorating headstones. Many of these headstones date back to the early days of Calgary’s settlement and it’s rather sad to see the loss of history. Hopefully, by capturing a few photos I can do my part to preserve […]

Pandas at the Calgary Zoo

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, Fuji Astia 100F No Comments

The Calgary Zoo is currently playing host to some pandas. They are very popular and the day I shot these photos, it was very hard to get a good shot given the size of the crowd of people around the pandas. It’s really no different in China. When Sarah and I were in Chengdu this […]

Tiger Training Time

35mm, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Canon Rebel 2000, Fuji Astia 100F No Comments

While visiting the Calgary Zoo one day, I photographed this amusing little demonstration on how to train a tiger by giving it food when it touches its nose to the stick. At first, the girl had no clue what the trainer was asking of her, but she did eventually get it.

Around Town with the Diana Baby 110

110, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Lomography Diana Baby 110, Lomography Peacock Slide / X-Pro 200, square, toy camera No Comments

I recently picked up the Diana Baby 110 from Lomography. Since I already own and love the Diana F+ and the Diana Mini, I had high hopes for this camera. The Diana Baby 110 is a delightful little camera, but sadly the resulting photos were a disappointment. Most of the roll turned out as complete […]

Shooting Valca Film

35mm, Alberta, black & white, Caffenol, Calgary, Canada, Canon EOS 3, Self-Portrait Challenge, Valca Grano Fino Positiva 6 No Comments

I like shooting rare and expired film. I like it when I discover an old film that not only still produces good results, but also has a unique look or color palette. These are from a roll of Valca Grano Fino Positiva cinematic film that I purchased from Labeauratoire. Since Valca has a recommended ISO […]
