Morning Light

I was out this morning at Todmorden Mills; it was cool, but some amazing light to work with. One of the cameras  I was using was my Mamiya Universal Press, with a 90mm/3.5 lens and a 6×9 medium format back attached. I was shooting Rollei RPX 25, a very slow speed film an with a small aperture the tripod was a necessity for the 1/4 sec or so shutter speed.

Sharp Light

Yesterday afternoon was a lovely sunny fall day, with a low sun that created interesting hard-edged shadows with a lot of crispness It would have made outdoors portraiture tough, but for what I was shooting at the University of Toronto campus it was perfect.

Plant in the Light

Another image from Taylor Creek Park. Shooting the Helios 44 wide open gave a soft effect that I quite like for a lot of the plant

End of Season

This image was created in Taylor Creek Park, no far from where we live in East York. For much of the last few days it has been warm and sunny, but it is still autumn.
