A Different Look
I was in High Park (Toronto) yesterday morning, using a photographic technique involving setting up two pieces of black cardboard in front of the lens, leaving a small slit in-between them. The result (depending on the distance between the subject and background of the image) can be a crazy bokeh effect. I’ll be exploring this more!
Camera was my Sony a7ii with an Olympus MD 50 mm f/1.4 lens, with the aforementioned slit in front.
Wide Angle Blur
Out in High Park, Toronto this morning with my Sony a6100 and 7Artisans 10mm f/3.5 lens. I discovered that if I shoot wide open at the absolute closest focussing distance I get a background blur that I wouldn’t normally associate with a super-wide lens. I like the look.

I Like This Combination!
On Canada Day (July 1st) I was in High Park, Toronto, early in the morning. I was shooting Ultrafine Extreme 400, and while I have shot it before, this is the first time I developed it with Pyrocat-HD. I love this combination! Hasselblad 500CM, 50mm/f4 … Continue reading I Like This Combination!
Nyx in Colour
I finally shot my first roll of the relatively recently re-introduced Kodak Ektachrome 100 E6 slide film. I had a fun session with my good friend Nyx in High Park. (Black and white images to follow in an upcoming post!). I love the look of this slide film, and it is always a pleasure to work with Nyx.

The Siren Call of Ultrawide
A few years ago I traded away a Voigtlander 15mm/f4.5 Superwide Heliar as part of a deal. It was a good trade, but I recently felt a pining for that super wide focal length, so I bought a newer version of the lens (M-mount vs LTM, and it takes filters). I tried it out for the first time last Saturday at High Park, Toronto.

A High Park Surprise
While cleaning my home office last week I found an unmarked exposed roll of TMax 100 in 120 format. I had had not idea what was on it, and was pleasantly surprised by the results. The subject was High Park in a sunny day, some time in 2018. Here are three images from that roll.
