Two more from my visit to Todmorden Mills last Saturday Morning, this time shot with my Kodak Medalist, on Respooled Tri-X A bit of fogging on the edges but not affecting the image). I love that morning light!
Morning Light
I was out this morning at Todmorden Mills; it was cool, but some amazing light to work with. One of the cameras I was using was my Mamiya Universal Press, with a 90mm/3.5 lens and a 6×9 medium format back attached. I was shooting Rollei RPX 25, a very slow speed film an with a small aperture the tripod was a necessity for the 1/4 sec or so shutter speed.

The Bridge of a Grey Day
In Milton, Ontario today, meeting up for a photo walk and to record the next two episodes of the Classic Camera Revival podcast, I decided to shoot a few iPhone Hipstamatic shots as well. Happy with what I got 🙂
In Colour
I’ve shot the wagon wheels in Toronto’s Distillery District a number of times, but this is the first time in colour, and my first time shooting Kodak Portra 800. Shooting in 6×9 format (spooled for 620 for my Medalist) I am amazed at the tight grain structure for an 800 speed film! I will need to get more of this stock!

Autumn
In my opinion, Kodak Ektar 100 colour negative film was made for autumn; there is just something about the colours. This image was taken a couple of weeks ago in High Park with my Canon P rangefinder and 35mm/2.5 Voigtlander Color Skopar lens. I developed it at home with C-41 chemistry from Argentix.ca
Solitude
Last Sunday morning on the U of T campus. Did she find solitude or did solitude find her?

Complicated Light
Another image from my walk around the University of Toronto campus on Sunday morning. This is a doorway at Trinity College. I loved the dappled, complicated light I was seeing that morning!

Sharp Light
Yesterday afternoon was a lovely sunny fall day, with a low sun that created interesting hard-edged shadows with a lot of crispness It would have made outdoors portraiture tough, but for what I was shooting at the University of Toronto campus it was perfect.
