Toronto in Colour
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.

Building in Sunlight
I like the look of buildings in bright morning sunlight: angles and edges look especially sharp and defined. This is Metropolitan United Church in downtown Toronto.

Same Chairs, Different Season
There are a number of these sets of chairs at the Toronto Beaches, and I have featured them a couple of times in the past. This is how they caught my eye in the winter.

Winter Dock
On Saturday I took my Mamiya RZ67 down to the Beaches. It was a very still, very grey day, and sometimes it was hard to see where the water ended and the sky began.

Last In the Series
This is the last image from my series of images taken at the Beaches in Toronto with my Mamiya RZ67 and red/polarizing filters. The film used for this image was Rollei Retro 80s.

The Beaches / Red Filter theme continues, with this image of rocks at the Beaches.

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.
