Banff in Black and White
There will be a few posts on Banff over the next few days. The first focuses on some black and white images, all taken on Ilford HP5+ film, using my Hasselblad 500C/M camera.
The Busker
I have seen this busker on the Boardwalk before.

Out For a Stroll
Like I said in a previous post, street photography is outside of my comfort zone, but I am working on it. One observation that I and others have made is that if you are shooting with a film camera you get treated with less suspicion by passersby than if you are shooting with a digital camera / smartphone. These images were created with my Rolleiflex and my Hasselblad.
Character On the Beach
There of are photographer friends of mine who are absolutely fearless when it comes to asking strangers if they can take their photograph. I find that very difficult and have to force myself to do it. When I saw this gentlemen near the boardwalk in the Beaches I had to ask if I could take his picture, and the answer was yes. 🙂

Two Bridges
Recently on a business trip to Lethbridge, Alberta I had a bit of time to do some photography, so here are two bridges I like: one is the famous (and huge) railway trestle bridge, and the other is a small bridge in a park close to my hotel.
Both images taken with Hasselbad 500C/M and 50mm/4 Distagon lens

Framed
I have always liked images with inner framing, and this view near Roy Thomson Hall caught my eye recently.

Reflections
I do like reflections. Both images taken using my Olympus XA 35mm rangefinder camera, on Bergger BRF 400+ film (gifted from my photographer friend Bill Smith)
Dupont Station
A bright day on Saturday made for a lot of interesting reflections and distortions on the plexiglass at the entrance to the Dupont subway station in Toronto.
