In the Eaton Centre

If you are a resident of Toronto, these images inside the Eaton Centre border on cliche, but it was still fun shooting with the 20mm Nikkor lens.

Back to St. James

Recently I returned to St. James Cemetery, this time with my recently acquired 20mm Nikkor wide angle lens. It was bright morning and the low angled sun provided a lot of interesting lighting. All images were taken on a Nikon F4, using Kodak TMax 400 film.

Velvia Blue

Today another image from the roll of Velvia 50 slide film I shot recently at the Toronto Harbour. I continued to be amazed at what this film does for skies!

Painting a Building

This building is right next door to Union Station in Toronto, and the combination of time of day, brilliant sunshine and some nearby glass and steel made for some interesting light patterns.

Bokeh Hunting #1

I am continuing to experiment with my Helios 44/2 58mm f2 lens adapted for the Nikon mount. To get the signature swirly, out of focus bokeh this lens is known for having a suitable background a few feet away from the subject, as well as shooting wide open at f2. This attempt is from St. James Cemetery in Toronto, the subject being a tilted old memorial.

Through a Pinhole #2: In Colour

My exploration of pinhole photography continues. This time I put a roll film adapter on the back of my Speed Graphic 4×5 and shot in colour using Kodak Portra 400 film. The subject is the bridge which spans Taylor Creek Park. Exposures were about 1 minute long.
