Here is the second image from the photoshoot with Amy last week. This image was created with my Zenit 3M 35mm SLR and Helios 44/2 lens, to get the swirly bokeh in the background. The film used was Rollei Retro 80s, and I added some diffusion in post.
Earlier this week myself and another photographer had a photoshoot with a cheerful and talented teacher and musician named Amy. I used three different cameras, so I will do three different blog posts. Tonight, I am starting off with the 4×5 and1860’s Petzval lens, shot on HP5+. This lens has a knack of picking up interesting expressions 🙂
I love the Art Gallery of Ontario 🙂 Not only am I regularly inspired by the art it contains, I just love the architecture of the place!

While one can get caught up in the vastness of many scenes in Scotland, it is also worthwhile getting up close, as in these moss covered paleolithic building stones.

The third of the images of the shoot with Zoe this past weekend was created with my 1860’s era Petzal Brass lens, mounted on my 4×5 Speed Graphic. Hard to focus, and a cumbersome shooting experience, but the results are so worth it when I get it!

The second image from my recent photo shoot withZoë, this time with my Mamiya 645 Pro TL, the most “modern” (relatively speaking) of the cameras I took along for the shoot. Film was one of my last rolls of Plus-X in medium format. F
Yesterday I had a great shoot with Zoë, a talented friend from the theatre world. I was packing three very different film cameras, so I will write three separate blog posts, one for each camera. Today’s image was taken with my Zenit 3M 35mm SLR and Helios 44/2 lens, shot wide open with a yellow filter. Its background swirl and bokeh are unique. I added some vignetting in post to the negative scan.

Taylor Creek Park (close to home in Toronto) is so lovely on an early summer evening 🙂
