Every year on January 1st I go out in the morning with a film camera, so whatever else happens in the year it will still be another year in which I shot film. One of my goals this year is to shoot more portraits, so from the roll I shot yesterday I am choosing a portrait of fellow film photographer Alan Gaunt, who came along with me and Bill Smith for the January 1st outing.

This image from a park in Zagreb, Croatia seems appropriate for my first post of 2020. One set of steps seems like the old year, the other the new year.

My last post for 2019: This building has seen better days, and is currently boarded up. I hope it gets brought back to life!

I love shooting wide-angle with a red filter with film cameras, and I can do the same thing with my new Sony A7ii, using my Voigtlander Superwide Heliar 15mm/f4.5 lens. (“Red filter” applied in post to darken the sky)

Old architecture and wide angle lenses are two of my favourite things.

More Croatia images, this time more of the architecture of Dubrovnick, all shot with my Voigtlander Bessa T camera on Ilford HP5 Plus film.
Lat evening I was in Kensington Market with my new Sony A7ii full frame digital camera. (Don’t worry, still mainly a film guy!). I got this camera as a platform for various lenses, and last night it was the Nikkor 20mm/f2.8 lens.

I have always found the front on this art/souvenir/curiosity shop in Niagara-On-the-Lake to be fascinating.

The 15mm/f4.5 Voigtlander lens creates some convergence distortion in this image of a narrow street in Split, Croatia, but I like the distortion in this case.

Continuing to work through the backlog. These images are all from the island of Brač, and were all shot with my Voigtlander Bessa T and 15mm/f4.5 lens with red filter on Kodak TMax 100.
