At my cousin Sally’s farm near Ottawa last weekend. The sheep were pretty wary.

Trying Out Rollei RPX 25
Last weekend I tried my first roll of Rollei RPX 25, a slow, fine grained film. I shot the roll on my Rolleiflex 3.5E3 and I developed the film using Rodinal 1+50 for 14 minutes @ 20 C. High contrast is often a challenge with these slow films, and although the negatives looked contrasty to the eye, I was able to coax good highlight and shadow detail out of them. I will be using this film again!!
Natalia By the Tree
This is the second post featuring an image from my shoot with Natalia Nix last week. I am surprised this one turned out; the light made it hard to see in the viewfinder of my Rolleiflex and it was so humid I was literally sweating into the viewfinder. Even though the original scene was very dull, I went with a high key look on the final version of the shot, taken on Tri-X.

The final post from our shoot with Amy. Music, like teaching, is a journey.

Inside the AGO
I love the Art Gallery of Ontario 🙂 Not only am I regularly inspired by the art it contains, I just love the architecture of the place!

Back to Scotland
While one can get caught up in the vastness of many scenes in Scotland, it is also worthwhile getting up close, as in these moss covered paleolithic building stones.

Zoë 2
The second image from my recent photo shoot withZoë, this time with my Mamiya 645 Pro TL, the most “modern” (relatively speaking) of the cameras I took along for the shoot. Film was one of my last rolls of Plus-X in medium format. F
Early Evening Light
The Light in the Princes Street Garden at around 7 pm in June is lovely; the low angle of the sun makes for some great shadows!

Light and Shadow
The lower angle of the sun lent a certain starkness to the light and shadows of the streets of Edinburgh, and I like what it did to the architecture
