Waiting for my flight yesterday in Winnipeg the geometry of the window and empty seats caught my eye.

Back to St. James
Recently I returned to St. James Cemetery, this time with my recently acquired 20mm Nikkor wide angle lens. It was bright morning and the low angled sun provided a lot of interesting lighting. All images were taken on a Nikon F4, using Kodak TMax 400 film.
In Front of the Church
I liked how the tree worked with the exaggerated perspective of the 20mm super wide lens.

My Photography Podcast Episode 50: Frame of Mind
https://www.podbean.com/media/player/3zavz-688946?from=yiiadmin
For my 50th episode I thought it most appropriate to have as my guest my dear friend Ken Bole AKA “Scarborough Dude” who helped me get my start in podcasting over a decade ago. Ken describes his first camera, and how photography was different in the past compared to today. The show ends off with a piece of original music!
Velvia Blue
Today another image from the roll of Velvia 50 slide film I shot recently at the Toronto Harbour. I continued to be amazed at what this film does for skies!

Painting a Building
This building is right next door to Union Station in Toronto, and the combination of time of day, brilliant sunshine and some nearby glass and steel made for some interesting light patterns.

Bokeh Hunting #2
Another image from St. James Cemetery, using my Helios 44/2 58mm/2 lens mounted on my Nikon N90s. Shot on Kodak TMax 400 film.
Bokeh Hunting #1
I am continuing to experiment with my Helios 44/2 58mm f2 lens adapted for the Nikon mount. To get the signature swirly, out of focus bokeh this lens is known for having a suitable background a few feet away from the subject, as well as shooting wide open at f2. This attempt is from St. James Cemetery in Toronto, the subject being a tilted old memorial.

Slide Film in Toronto Harbour
Today I got a roll of Fuji Velvia 50 slide film back from processing. Such a vivid, intense film, especially for blue skies!

Through a Pinhole #2: In Colour
My exploration of pinhole photography continues. This time I put a roll film adapter on the back of my Speed Graphic 4×5 and shot in colour using Kodak Portra 400 film. The subject is the bridge which spans Taylor Creek Park. Exposures were about 1 minute long.
