From Bluffer’s Beach a couple of weeks ago. The low angled early morning sun was amazing.

Through a Pinhole
On the two latest episodes of My Photography Podcast I had the pleasure of speaking with pinhole photographers Kathrena Revera and Moni Smith. Their passion for their craft and their amazing work inspired me to finally try pinhole photography. I am using my 4×5 Speed Graphic camera, with a 0.3mm pinhole in place of a lens, and though I am still at the experimental “dialing it in” phase of my work I am excited with the results. Both images below were shot on Fomapan 100 film. The exposure for the first image was 6.5 minutes, the second 1 minute, 15 seconds.
Harbor in Colour
The first of a few images from a roll of Kodak Portra 400 I shot with my Rolleiflex 3.5E3 at Toronto Harbor recently.
Also, the latest episode of Classic Camera Revival is now online. We have a great discussion about folding cameras.
Ship Silhouette
Shooting right into the sun, so I positioned myself to put the sun behind one of the masts.

Sun and Wind
Last Monday at Bluffer’s Park I noticed these plants. I liked the backlighting on them but the glare of the sun plus the breeze moving the plants around made for tricky shooting and it took a few attempts to get these two images using my Nikon F4 and 28mm lens, shooting on Rollei RPX film
Don’ forget to check out this week’s episode of My Photography Podcast, featuring an interview with pinhole photographer Moni Smith!
Waves
Waves not of water but rather an undulating pathway in the Western end of the Toronto harbour.

Reflections
I’ve always enjoyed the distorted reflections of old buildings in new ones. This is a reflection of Old City Hall in Toronto, with a flag in front.

Underneath the pool in The Beaches, Toronto. A rather forbidding structure from this angle

Toronto Harbor Commisson
On Saturday morning the light was bright and sunny, and my eye was caught by the Toronto Harbor Commission building. I like the way the sun was hitting this proud old building, surrounded by modern steel and glass.
