Up in Muskoka recently. I did not have a tripod so I put the camera on a chair and held the shutter open for about a minute.

Closed Umbrellas
Since I am away from my darkroom until September, even though I am shooting a lot of film it will be smartphone images for a few days. These closed umbrellas at the Musee National des beaux-arts in Quebec City caught my eye yesterday.
At the Game
Last Saturday my wife and I were guests of a good friend and his girlfriend at a Jays game at the Dome. (I still prefer the old name!). We had amazing seats!

After a Few Days
I have been in a funk photographically for a few days. Too busy to do much in the way of photography and not all that happy with the images I was taking. I did go out yesterday morning to Taylor Creek Park and finished off a roll languishing in a film back for my Hasselblad and got a few I liked.

Ilford Fp4 Plus film, developed in Rodinal
Lazarus Film
While looking for something else in my darkroom I came across something I didn’t know I had: a roll of Kodak Panatomic X film from the 1980’s obviously long-expired. Slow speed films tend to be usable long after their expiry dates so I gave it a shot. There was some staining on the negatives but with some work in post I got some usable images, like these two.
The Sound of Ice
One more of the Ice in the beaches yesterday. One of the most interesting things was the sound the water made hitting the ice covered rocks. A very distinctive sound!

Experiment in Colour
It has been a while since I last tried hand colouring. I took a different approach this time: rather than using Marshall photo oils on a darkroom print, I tried a matte photo paper inkjet print, and pencil crayons. Some further work will be needed to see what works and what doesn’t.

The Light Shining Through
On my recent walk through High Park, I was struck in this one spot by the amount of light coming through, silhouetting the trees.

Trees at Ashbridges Bay 1
I love interesting trees 🙂 This is the first of two posts of trees I found while shooting in Ashbridges Bay last weekend.

Another View of the Railway Bridge
Here is another view of the railway bridge on the old CP line in the lower Don Valley, taken yesterday. I will definitely have to go back with colour film in the near future!
