Back to the ravine near Yonge/St. Clair in Toronto this morning. First time shooting here with the Hasselbald.

Back to the Hasselblad
On Sunday morning I picked up my Hasselblad from the shop and shot a quick test roll in High Park. This was my favourite shot of the day.

Two More Chairs At The Beaches
There are a number of pairs of these chairs at The Beaches in Toronto. I recently posted an image of a pair of chairs in colour; today it’s black and white, taken Sunday morning with my Mamiya RZ67, Rollei RPX25 film and the combination of red and polarizing filters to darken the sky.
Ghost Water
I was down at the Beaches again this morning; my Hasselblad is in the shop, so out came the Mamiya RZ67 (Medium format, 6cm x 7cm negative size). I was shooting Rollei RPX25, with a combination of red and polarizing filters to darken the sky, so I was shooting at an effective speed of EI 1, meaning that even on a bright sunny day the exposures were in the range of half a second to one second in length. I love the blurring effect on water, especially crashing water in this morning’s lively breeze. It seems ghostly to me.
Water Colour
On a clear evening at the Beaches, the waters of Lake Ontario take on a lovely intense blue shade, quite unlike the colour in the morning or during the rest of the day. The only changes to this image in post were contrast and an exposure level adjustment

Back to the Bluffs
So the last roll that has some pictures of the Scarborough Bluffs has been developed. I like the way the rock thrust itself into the morning sun. Hasselblad 500C/M, 80mm/2.8 Planar lens with red filter Rollei RPX25 film, developed in Rodinal
End of Season
According to the calendar, we have a few more days of summer left, but the end of the season is near. I was at the Beaches last night, and the weather was lovely, the atmosphere peaceful, but to me tinged with a wistfulness, an awareness of the passing of time.

Bluffer’s Park 4: The Cliffs
The early morning on a sunny day is the best time to see the cliffs at the Scarborough Bluffs; the light colour really picks up the sunlight, and using a red filter darkens the sky to produce a dramatic contrast.
