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.

The Fine Grain Quest Continues
Another fine grain film I tried recently is Agfa Copex Rapid. It is similar to Adox CMS 20 II.

Taming Contrast
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.

Dangerous Stairs
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.

Lines and Textures
This image is from a shuttered building in Elora. My eyes were drawn to the lines and the various textures.

Still Life
Seen on the trip back from Muskoka a few weeks ago. The dead tree and the derelict building seemed like the perfect combination.
