In Milton, Ontario today, meeting up for a photo walk and to record the next two episodes of the Classic Camera Revival podcast, I decided to shoot a few iPhone Hipstamatic shots as well. Happy with what I got 🙂

In Colour
I’ve shot the wagon wheels in Toronto’s Distillery District a number of times, but this is the first time in colour, and my first time shooting Kodak Portra 800. Shooting in 6×9 format (spooled for 620 for my Medalist) I am amazed at the tight grain structure for an 800 speed film! I will need to get more of this stock!
Home-developed with Argentix.ca C-41 kit
Autumn
In my opinion, Kodak Ektar 100 colour negative film was made for autumn; there is just something about the colours. This image was taken a couple of weeks ago in High Park with my Canon P rangefinder and 35mm/2.5 Voigtlander Color Skopar lens. I developed it at home with C-41 chemistry from Argentix.ca
Solitude
Last Sunday morning on the U of T campus. Did she find solitude or did solitude find her?

Complicated Light
Another image from my walk around the University of Toronto campus on Sunday morning. This is a doorway at Trinity College. I loved the dappled, complicated light I was seeing that morning!

Sharp Light
Yesterday afternoon was a lovely sunny fall day, with a low sun that created interesting hard-edged shadows with a lot of crispness It would have made outdoors portraiture tough, but for what I was shooting at the University of Toronto campus it was perfect.

Eyes Closed
At least on the subway, you can close your eyes on the way to work.

Plant in the Light
Another image from Taylor Creek Park. Shooting the Helios 44 wide open gave a soft effect that I quite like for a lot of the plant

End of Season
This image was created in Taylor Creek Park, no far from where we live in East York. For much of the last few days it has been warm and sunny, but it is still autumn.
