I was out again last Friday with my Nikon N90s and 17mm/3.5 Tamron SP lens. While most ultrawide images are in landscape orientation, I do like the look of this lens in vertical orientation as well.

Recently went for a walk at the foot of the Don River in Toronto, with the Hasselblad and the 50mm Distagon lens. Both images were shot on Rollei RPX 400 film.
In the recent meet-up in Hamilton, the dramatic lighting in an alley caught my eye.

Last Sunday I was out shooting wth my friend Ori in Ashbridges Bay. He had his 4×5, and I was shooting with my Mamiya RZ67. For a few minutes the water was calm enough for clear reflections, then a breeze came up and the moment was gone.

Yesterday afternoon I went out with my Nikon N90s, a 35mm SLR I haven’t used in some time. On it I had mounted my Tamron SP 17mm/3.5 Superwide lens, also neglected for some time. The N90s has lovely ergonomics and fits nicely in the hand, and this is the first roll I shot with the Tamron lens where I feel happy with the results. Both images below were shot on PolyPan F film, developed in Ilfosol 3.
I love this old building on Queen Street East in Toronto, near the River St. bridge. Glass and steel just doesn’t do it for me the way an old building like this does.

I am a big fan of Art Deco, and I love the exterior of the GO transit station in Hamilton, Ontario. A fine example of this style.

Another image from The Hamilton G.A.S. Meet up last weekend. After a brilliantly sunny morning, it clouded over at lunch time, but even the overcast light seems to suit the Polypan F film I used.

These two images are from last weekend GAS meet-up / Photowalk in Hamilton ON. As the group strolled around, we came upon this little enclave downtown. A lovely surprise location! In the first image walk leader Alex is taking a peek. The second image is a view inside the garden.

Not far from our family home is a lawn bowling club that Janice and I often pass by during evening walks. When open it is full of bowlers, but right now it is quiet in the pre-season, with only the long evening shadows.
