This image is from the first roll of colour film I’ve developed at home in quite a while. The ice rink at Nathan Phillips Square is long gone, but the water for the summer has not been topped up, so this in-between time made for some great reflections.

Today one final image from my test roll of Cinestill 800T colour negative film, from Kensington Market in Toronto.

Another image from my Cinestill 800T test roll, shot with my Hasselblad 500C/M and 50mm/4 Distagon wide angle lens. I am always struck by how Kensington Market combines colour and grit.
Thanks to my friends at Downtown Camera in Toronto, I was able to get a test roll of Cinestill 800T film in medium format to try out. This is motion picture stock. This film has the remjet backing removed, making it safe to process in standard C-41 kits. It’ a high speed (ISO 800) film, but I shot it at EI 640. Despite the fact that it is Tungsten balanced (for incandescent lighting) I found my outdoor sunny day images on the test roll were very easy to colour correct in post.

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!

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.

Today I got a roll of Fuji Velvia 50 slide film back from processing. Such a vivid, intense film, especially for blue skies!

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.
