I recently went back to the remnants of the old Eastern Avenue bridge in the lower Don Valley. The intersecting jumble of old steel caught my eye.

The Usual Angle
OK, this is the angle that everyone shoots in BCE place. What I tried to do is play with the contrast to make it about light and shadow, as much as about architecture.

Still avoiding the cliche image 🙂 This is looking in the opposite direction.

BCE Place
The interior of BCE Place in downtown Toronto is photographed so often that it is difficult to avoid the cliched images that have been taken so often. In this image I tried changing the angle to get the building within the building.

Not By Design
Slow speed films such as Rollei RPX 25 are contrasty by nature and don’t take kindly to overexposure, and in today’s image I totally blew it. After some work on the scan in post though I can up with this result and I find the effect interesting, although I suppose it could just be considered a post-hoc rationalization.
In High Park
There are certain spots I am drawn to repeatedly, and this location in High Park is one of them, especially off-season before plants have really started growing again.

Old Wheel
It was hard getting a good angle on this wheel at Riverdale farm with a fence in the way but I found some space.

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.
