Another image from my January 1st outing to Bluffer’s Park Beach. The sun was low in the sky at this moment.

Night Visions
One of my goals for 2017 is to do more night photography so last night I went with my good friend Bill Smith down to the Beaches to try shooting a test roll of Rollei RPX100, to determine the best exposure. My favourite image is this one, shot with my Hasselblad 500C/M and 50mm/4 Distagon lens. The exposure time was 15 seconds @ f8.
Into the Sun
Another image from my first roll shot in the Voigtlander Bessa 66 medium format folder. On Sunday morning the best views of Philosopher’s Walk on the U of T campus seemed to be straight into the sun, which usually results in a lot of flare. I placed the sun behind a tree branch to try to minimize it, and I do like the results.

A Final Frame
I have decided to post one last image from the Chinese Garden in Vancouver, exploring the frame within the frame.
Also a, promo for my podcast MPP (My Photography Podcast). It has morphed from a personal diary show to more of a photography show, but personal elements will always remain.

The Claw
This wood by the water at Wreck Beach had the look of a claw to me.

A Spot of Life
Back to the Wreck Beach in Vancouver for this one. When I posted this image in a Facebook group, I got a comment back that the bird in the middle seemed like a “spot of life.” Seems like a good title to me 🙂

Below the Edge
Two more images from Wreck Beach in Vancouver. Beaches by their nature are arenas of change, a battleground for erosion and climate.

Stones
Another image from Wreck Beach. There are many sections of the Beach which are covered in large rocks. I felt any any moment I would trip and fall, resulting in a broken ankle and/or smashed camera. Luckily neither happened 🙂

Furtive Light
From Wreck Beach, Vancouver. The light was furtive and changing. This light did not last long.

The World of a Child # 2
Another image from my shoot last Saturday. This image was taken with my Nikon F4S and the Nikkor 105mm/2.5 lens, which is one of the greatest portrait lenses of all time.
