A Park in St. Louis
I finally finished a roll that that been sitting in my Rolleiflex for a number of months, long enough that I had forgotten that it had some images of St. Louis. I am finding that Kodak TMX 400 film and Microdol-X developer make a nice combination!

A Cold Night
It was a very cold night in the Distillery District recently, but it was still fun doing some available light photography.

Refusing to Die
On the shores of Lake Ontario, this tree is more stump than anything, but still manages to produce a few leaves. There is nothing strong than the will to live it seems. From a technical point of view, I do like the combination of Microdol-X developer and HP5+.

In the distance
At High Park again, in my medium format fine grain film mode. I like images where there are anonymous figures in the distance.

Revisiting
This spot in High Park has been featured below, but this time the image was created from a slightly different angle. I quite like the look of RPX25 in medium format!

Rollei RPX25 and Medium Format
Back to one of my happy places in High Park. I continue to be on a bit of a fine grain slow speed film kick. Rollei RPX25 is another amazing film, but you have to get the exposure right. (It really doesn’t like over-exposure). It has a nice snappy contrast, making it perfect for dull days).

Canoe In a Garden
At the entrance to the Glen Stewart Ravine in The Beaches is a canoe that has been worked into a garden.

Ghost #2
Another “ghost image” from High Park a few days ago. Something caught the dog’s attention and it stayed still long enough to register, more than the dog’s companions further back. Exposure about 1.5 seconds.

Ghost #1
This past Saturday on a very gloomy and dull morning I went to High Park with my Mamiya RZ67, slow speed fine-grained films and of course a tripod. Exposures were often 1 second more, so any moving people in the image would be a ghostly blur. I like the effect!
