One more from the roll of Rollei Retro 80s shot with the red filter. I liked how the white building looked in the morning sun.

Yesterday morning down around the RedPath Sugar Refinery the light was amazing; a bright, low-angled light applied a stark clarity to everything it touched. I was shooting Rollei Retro 80s film, using a red filter to darken the skies and exaggerate the contrast.

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.

This past weekend as part of our trip to Niagara-On-the-Lake I drove along the Niagara Parkway towards the falls and went along the White Water Walk, beside the turbulent rapids. I made these three images using my Hasselblad 500C/M, andΒ 80mm Planar lens with a red-orange filter attached. The film was Rollei Retro 80s, developed in Rodinal.
With the camera mounted on a tripod I had an exposure time of 1/4 second so that the rapid motion of the water would blur.
I have shot this tree in High Park a few times over the years, but this was the first time using my Hasselblad (and the 150mm/4 Sonnar lens, on Rollei Retro 80s film). I love the look of this tree (as do a lot of other visitors, you definitely have to wait your turn and time it right to get an unobstructed image!)
Also, this week’s MPP podcast is out. I geek out about my Rolleiflex
