The Peace Bridge, in Calgary, on a rainy Sunday morning during my recent trip. Shot on Lomo 400 colour film, converted to black and white in post. Shot on my Hasselblad 500C/M with 50mm/4 Distagon lens, then cropped.

Banff in Black and White
There will be a few posts on Banff over the next few days. The first focuses on some black and white images, all taken on Ilford HP5+ film, using my Hasselblad 500C/M camera.
Yellow
Another image created using the Lomography 400 colour negative film and my Rolleiflex with the Rollinar close-up lens. I love the yellow hue of this plant!
Twelve Images of the Lethbridge Japanese Garden
Recently while on my most recent business trip to Lethbridge, Alberta I went back to the Japanese Garden, this time with my Hasselblad 500C/M. It is a lovely spot, an oasis of calm.
The Hasseblad shoots twelve images per roll, and so I’ve decided to post one complete roll here; it’s rare that I am happy with all the images on a single roll. This film in this case is Kodak Portra 400.
New Colour
I recently bought some Lomography brand C-41 400 speed colour film and am happy with the results so far! This image was taken inside the Greenhouse in the Allan Gardens in Toronto. I used my Rolleiflex 3.5E3, with a Rollinar #2 close-up lens attached.
The Busker
I have seen this busker on the Boardwalk before.

Out For a Stroll
Like I said in a previous post, street photography is outside of my comfort zone, but I am working on it. One observation that I and others have made is that if you are shooting with a film camera you get treated with less suspicion by passersby than if you are shooting with a digital camera / smartphone. These images were created with my Rolleiflex and my Hasselblad.
Character On the Beach
There of are photographer friends of mine who are absolutely fearless when it comes to asking strangers if they can take their photograph. I find that very difficult and have to force myself to do it. When I saw this gentlemen near the boardwalk in the Beaches I had to ask if I could take his picture, and the answer was yes. 🙂
