Bridge in Enmax Park, Calgary.

This bridge in Enmax Park in Calgary caught my eye during my last trip out here. The fact it is painted a light colour increases the contrast against a sky darkened by the use of a red filter.

35mm/f2.5 Color Skopar lens with red filter.

Sunlight in Oakville

Last weekend I met up with my friend Bill Smith in Oakville on the way to a Classic Camera Revival recording session. It was a brilliantly sunny morning, and the look of this building in the bright sun caught my eye.

Ramsey Ruins

The Ramsey Ruins in Calgary is an interesting spot that I checked out during my last trip. The combination of red filter and Rollei SuperPan 200 film was used to darken the sky.

Over the Tracks

On Saturday I paid a return visit to the Junction district in Toronto with my good friend Bill Smith. One spot I really like is the bridge over the railway near Dundas West subway station.

Arches

The Royal Ontario Museum is an architectural identity crisis but it does have some nice spots.

Filtering

I was very happy to see the effect of a yellow filter (meant to adjust contrast and keep blue skies from getting blown out) when using the JCH Streetpan 400 film recently.
