Tree Details

There is a fascinating tree in the Beaches: bent, with fascinating textures. I have not been able to get a good full shot of the tree because of the background, so I need to focus on details. Both images created using Hasselblad 500C/M, 80mm Planar, TMax 400 film.

Ravine Path

Two more from Glen Stewart Park in the Beaches. I will have to return to this location at various times in the spring and summer as the view changes. Both images taken with Hasselblad 500C/M, 50mm/4 Distagon lens on TMax 100 film. Toned in post

Didn’t Wait

When out last Saturday in the ravine near the Beaches I was waiting to take a photograph of the fence line, waiting for the boy to get out of frame as he walked by, but it looked interesting with him in frame, so I snapped the shutter.

Veronica #2

Here is one more from my shoot with Veronica this past Saturday. I was very impressed by her ability to create a great expression.

Veronica #1

I rarely get a chance to photograph young people, so I enjoyed the chance yesterday to work with Veronica, the daughter of friends of ours.

The Path of Trees

I had this roll of film sitting in my Rolleiflex  for a few weeks and finally finished it yesterday, and developed it last night. This row of trees is one of the more photographed spots in High Park; easy to see why!

High Contrast

This image taken at the Beaches seemed to work better for me cropped and with higher contrast, to make the horizon line a bit indistinct.

Inside one of the art structures on the Beaches. This image (taken with my Kodak Medalist I on respooled Tri-X) was not easy to focus!

Back to the Gazebo

I’ve shot this Gazebo in the Beaches a lot, so it seemed logical to shoot it with my newly acquired Hasselblad 500 c/m and 80mm lens. I shot on Rollei RPX film, developed in Rodinal. I LOVE this combo of film, lens and developer!
