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!

I’ve always found the outdoor/above ground subway stations in Toronto fascinating, especially ones (like Rosedale station below) on the oldest part of what is now called Line 1.

I recently shot some colour film at Bluffer’s Beach in Scarborough. It was a interesting morning light, with a layer of thin, hazy cloud.

Another fine grain film I tried recently is Agfa Copex Rapid. It is similar to Adox CMS 20 II.

Adox CMS 20 II is basically a high contrast ultra fine grain microfilm stock that can be used as a continuous tone film when developed with special developers. The main developer for this film (Adotech) tends to be expensive so photographers are always looking for other options. In this case I tried Rollei RLC Low contrast developer, itself not cheap but I had some around. It was a very bright day, almost unfair for this film but I did get some usable images.

To be honest, I did not feel particularly safe on these stairs in Elora, it was a rainy day and the stone steps were slippery.
