Dinosaur Provincial Park

For the second day in the row, two smartphone images (both using the Hipstamatic app), with the promise of film images to come once I get home. Today it was a trip to Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta. The Badlands are amazing!


White Water

This past weekend as part of our trip to Niagara-On-the-Lake I drove along the Niagara Parkway towards the falls and went along the White Water Walk, beside the turbulent rapids. I made these three images using my Hasselblad 500C/M, and 80mm Planar lens with a red-orange filter attached. The film was Rollei Retro 80s, developed in Rodinal.

With the camera mounted on a tripod I had an exposure time of 1/4 second so that the rapid motion of the water would blur.

My 1000th Post

This post is the 1000th on my photo blog since its inception, so I wanted to pick an image that fit the occasion. This image from recent day in Banff works for me: it reminds me that photography is a journey as much as a destination, and that the destination will always be partially hidden, awaiting discovery.

Back In Time #2

Continuing yesterday’s theme, another mystery roll I developed for the Facebook challenge was an even bigger surprise: it contained images of Pestum, Italy from a trip almost five years ago. I had shot multiple rolls there and this one I guess just got missed. What a thrill when I pulled it out of the tank! All images taken with a Mamiya M645j (since sold) on Fuji Neopan Acros 100 film

Back in Time

As part of a Facebook Seven Day Photography Challenge  I have been developing rolls of film I had lying around, sometimes for so long i had no idea what was on them. Christmas has at leas struck twice so far this week: I developed a roll of Ultrafine Xtreme 400 film and it turned out to be from a trip to Cologne, Germany about 5 years ago.  Here are a few images.
