Merging
I like how the light in the trees sort of merges with the graffiti in the background.

Postcard From the Dystopia
I love the Beaches District in Toronto; I love Bluffers Park. Then there is Sugar Beach: a sad little boxed in spot, with a great view of a factory, and no shortage of “No Swimming signs.” I’ve shot there a few times as I find it fascinating, at the same time it repulses me.
Both images shot using Nikon F 35mm SLR, 24mm/2.8 Nikkor lens.

Two More Chairs At The Beaches
There are a number of pairs of these chairs at The Beaches in Toronto. I recently posted an image of a pair of chairs in colour; today it’s black and white, taken Sunday morning with my Mamiya RZ67, Rollei RPX25 film and the combination of red and polarizing filters to darken the sky.
Ghost Water
I was down at the Beaches again this morning; my Hasselblad is in the shop, so out came the Mamiya RZ67 (Medium format, 6cm x 7cm negative size). I was shooting Rollei RPX25, with a combination of red and polarizing filters to darken the sky, so I was shooting at an effective speed of EI 1, meaning that even on a bright sunny day the exposures were in the range of half a second to one second in length. I love the blurring effect on water, especially crashing water in this morning’s lively breeze. It seems ghostly to me.
Back to the Bluffs
So the last roll that has some pictures of the Scarborough Bluffs has been developed. I like the way the rock thrust itself into the morning sun. Hasselblad 500C/M, 80mm/2.8 Planar lens with red filter Rollei RPX25 film, developed in Rodinal
Bluffer’s Park 4: The Cliffs
The early morning on a sunny day is the best time to see the cliffs at the Scarborough Bluffs; the light colour really picks up the sunlight, and using a red filter darkens the sky to produce a dramatic contrast.

Bluffer’s Park 3: The Sky
Post number three on the Beach at Bluffer’s Park; using a red filter darkened the skies and made the already dramatic light of early morning even more stark. All three images were taken with my Hasselblad 500C/M, 80mm/2.8 Planar lens on Rollei RPX25 film, developed in Rodinal.
