This photograph from Ward’s Island was created with long-expired “red scale” colour negative film. Red scale film is film that is reversed in the roll, so you are shooting through the orange film base, resulting in some interesting tonality. I had no idea if the film was still usable, I didn’t even know the original speed of the film (before accounting for the red effect on exposure). I was very happy to see how it turned out.

A New Combo

Another image with the old Nikkor 80-200/f4 zoom lens, this time using Eastman Double-X film and TMax developer. I like the combination!

On the Ferry

The ferry to Ward’s Island in Toronto has a rather retro feel to it, which I like.

A Different Look

· 2 Comments ·

I tend to shoot mainly wide angle and normal lenses, but for the Toronto Film Shooters Photo Walk last Saturday I took out a lens I haven’t used in quite a while: a Nikon 80-200/f4 zoom, from the 1980’s (mounted on my Nikon F5 body). This lens is not small or light, and by today’s standards is not super sharp wide open  but I like the different look I was getting. This is an image of photographer friend Daniel Fast, from some distance away.
