A week or so after I took this portrait, I was back in the Only Cafe, same gear, and took another portrait, this time of another good friend Bryon.

Empty Spaces
Two images from the Hotel/Convention Centre in Nashville last week. Both images taken with Sony A7ii, 28-70mm Sony lens.
In the Bath
To anyone reading the title and expecting a boudoir image (or dreading a nude selfie!), the title of this post refers to my first time developing film with Cinestill Df96 Monobath. Instead of a separate developer, stop bath and fixer, this monobath does it all in one step, and requires less rinse time (and less water) afterwards. I can see myself using this product a lot! The images below are from a roll shot in Niagara-On-the-Lake, that I had not gotten around to processing. Glad I waited!

Indoor Waterfall
An image from the hotel complex where I was staying in Nashville. A decently sized indoor waterfall.

Portrait of a Friend
I was happy to get together with my good friend Ken last Saturday. We met up at The Only Cafe of course. Fairly dimly lit, so I ratcheted up the ISO on the Sony A7ii to 6400. Impressed with the lack of noise! The lens was an old Nikkor 50mm f1.4, mounted via adapter and shot wide open. Quite happy with this image!

Dipping Into the Vault
Going back in time: a image for a cold winter day in Calgary back in 2017.

MIcroBlack and White From a Grey Weekend
Here is a collection of some more images from my trip to Niagara Falls last weekend. Dull grey weather (and a lot of rain) was the order of the day. All images taken with my Sony A7ii, mainly with the Nikkor 20mm/f.8 lens.
Old and New
It was a rather grey and soggy weekend in Niagara Falls, but I did have fun shooting black and white images with the Sony A7ii; It’s great to be able to use 50 year old lenses on a new camera. (In this case it was a Nikkor 50mm/f1.4 lens).
Empty Chair
In memory of all the Canadians who died last week. There are now so many empty chairs…
