This image is from last Saturday morning: shooting into the sun in Harbourfront, I did not adjust the exposure, to get an under-exposed, silhouette look.

Forgotten Frame #2
From Gasoline Alley in Heritage Park, Calgary. Compared to today, vintage gas pumps had a real style and elegance!

Forgotten Frame
Yes I have too many cameras, and what can happen is a camera gets neglected for a while with a half shot roll of film and I forget what is on it until I develop. I finished a roll in my Nikon N90S 35mm SLR yesterday, and was surprised to see images from Heritage Park in Calgary from 2017. This image is from inside the Gasoline Alley exhibit.

Morning Light at an Old Location
I’ve shot inside the Eaton Centre on a regular basis, and it can be hard to find new angles/looks. When I was there last Saturday to shoot the new walkway again the angled morning light gave the interior of the mall an interesting look.

Take 2
Yesterday I decided to go the Eaton Centre for another crack at the new walkway over Queen Street. I wanted to try the square format my Hasselblad (and my treasured 50mm/f4 Distagon lens)

The Tones I Wanted
One more from the icy shores of Lake Ontario. This one took some work in post: burning in the sky, and dodging the snow to get the tones I wanted.

Ice Formations
The pattern of the waves made for some interesting ice formations by the water at the Scarborough bluffs. The spray would come up through the holes every time the wave hit the shore.

Almost Into the Sun
My 50mm/f4 Zeiss Distagon lens is one of my favourites, and it continues to surprise me. I wasn’t quite pointing at the sun in the image from the Scarborough Bluff’s on New Year’s Day, but it was certainly in the sun’s direction. Flare is not an issue at all. (Of course having a lens hood on the lens helps).
