The first of a few images from a roll of Kodak Portra 400 I shot with my Rolleiflex 3.5E3 at Toronto Harbor recently.
Also, the latest episode of Classic Camera Revival is now online. We have a great discussion about folding cameras.

Contrast
I don’t do a lot of flower photography, but when I went to Allan Gardens last weekend in addition to my film gear I brought my Nikon D7100 DSLR with my 55mm/3.5 Micro-Nikkor lens. What stuck me about this scene was the contrast between the beauty of the flowers and the grimy background.
Through the Window
The first of likely a few posts from Whistler (once I develop my film this weekend). I was at a meeting this past week in Whistler, B.C. I had an amazing view from my hotel window, and took more than a couple of images at various times of today in various lighting conditions. Winter light to my eyes often has a pewter-like tone, like it did when I took this image.

Wide Angle and Slide Film
The light in Toronto this January has not been dazzling; even this mainly overcast day was brighter than most. The location is the vintage train yard beside the Steamwhistle Brewing Company location in Toronto.

One More From the Roll of Slide Film
Back to the early morning Beaches role of slide film for one more image.

Picking Up Slide Film
On another dreary winter day in Toronto, with a dull light that just sucks the enthusiasm right out of me, it was nice to pick up a roll of colour slide film that I had sent in for processing.

Only in Colour
Today I’m posting one more image from Bluffer’s Beach on January 1st, 2017. It was originally shot in black and white (the only film I had with me), but the image really didn’t work that way, so I added so hand tinting with pencil crayons to a inkjet print.

Another View of My Favourite Trees
Another attempt at hand-tinting, this time of an image of my favourite trees in High Park, Toronto. I ended up with a more muted effect here.

First Post With P600
This is the first post with my new (to me) Nikon P600. It was a very dark dull morning by the water in the Toronto Beaches. I got it specifically for the super zoom capability for the total solar eclipse in the midwest US in August 2017, although this images is more medium-wide.
