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

Another Cinestill 800T image
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.
Cinestill 800T
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.

Patience
Another Whistler image. It seems to me (a non-skier) that a large part of skiing (at least at a busy resort) involves waiting in line. It was a very long line, but these skiers seemed to be taking it patiently.

Winter Creek in Whistler
Hard to get the contrast and tone right; hope I’m close. This is a challenging negative.

Improvise
When I was in Whistler last week I did not bring a tripod, so when I saw the night scene from my hotel window I had to improvise. A side table, and a couple of books were pressed into service as a makeshift tripod, and luckily I did have my cable release with me, so I was able to complete the 45 second exposure with little or no camera shake. Shooting through the window did make for some weird reflections though.

The Kayak
One last image from my trip to the icy shores of Lake Ontario last Sunday. At one point I noticed a brave kayaker paddling along the shore, so I scrambled to the best location I could get, put down the camera/tripod, composed the image, and waited for the kayak to come into the frame.

The Sound of Ice
One more of the Ice in the beaches yesterday. One of the most interesting things was the sound the water made hitting the ice covered rocks. A very distinctive sound!

Ice
It was a beautiful, dazzling and cold morning today by the shores of Lake Ontario in the Toronto Beaches. If it gets cold enough, the ice is always interesting here.
