While walking in Banff I was stuck by how these trees were leaning; it seemed to me to have a certain elegance.

Forgotten Film
If you shoot film for long enough, you end up with old exposed rolls of film, and you have no idea what’s on them. I developed such a role this week, and it turns out to be from Thanksgiving, 2014. We were stating in Smith Falls, Ontario, and I went out early one morning down by the canal. It was chilly, and steam was rising from the water as the sun came up.

Back to Ann Arbor
It wasn’t the nicest weather in Ann Arbor for the FPP meet-up, so getting into the covered arcade was a nice break.

The Atlas Coal Mine Never Ends …
Well after today, perhaps. here are three images from my final roll shot at this fascinating location outside of Drumheller, Alberta. All images taken with my Voigtlander Bessa R and 15mm/4.5 Super-Heliar lens, on Tri-X developed in Xtol 1+1 for 9 minutes @ 20 C
Back to the Atlas Coal Mine
I just seem to keep coming back to my images from this location! There was certainly a lot to shoot. 🙂 Both images were created with my Voigtlander Bessa R Rangefinder with 15mm/4.5 Super-Heliar lens, on Rollei RPX 25 film, developed in Rodinal.
Atlas Coal Mine #3
This image was taken with the Rolleiflex on Ilford Pan F fine grained film. One of my favourites from the Alberta trip.
Hidden Treasure
Of of the joys that is unique to film photography is developing a roll of film and being surprised at what was on it :-). Earier this week I developed a roll of 35mm Kentmere 400, expecting more Guelph or Alberta images, and it turned out to be a roll from out Scotland trip that I had overlooked. Taken with my Voigtlander Bessa R and 15mm/4.5 Extreme Wide-Angle Super -Heliar at the Edinburgh Castle, very happy with the sense of movement.
Atlas Mine #2
Another image from the Atlas Coal Mine near Drumheller, Alberta. I am really liking the combination of the Rollei APX 25 film and Rodinal Developer 🙂

Atlas Mine #1
The Atlas Mine Museum is located just outside of Drumheller, Alberta in the Badlands. A coal-mine (now closed) it is a fascinating location, especially if you like heavy machinery. In one area of the exhibit, a lot of abandoned machinery and parts are laid out, against an amazing backdrop.

Badlands
This is another image taken during my recent trip to the Badlands in Alberta. It had rained the day before, so the textures of the rock and sand were smoothed and muted, but still alien and harsh in their own way.
