There is something about winter sun in Toronto (other than the fact we don’t get a lot of it). I love its brightness and clarity. I also love the way Rollei RXP 25 film picks it up. This image is from a couple of weeks ago, taken near the Beaches with my Rolleiflex 3.5E3.
This image is from a visit to High Park in the fall of 2015. The combination of the Rollei RPX 25 film, Rodinal developer and the Zeiss Sonnar 50mm/1.5 lens mounted on my Contax IIIa made for very good sharpness, I love these slow speed films! (I left the sprockets etc. in the scan because I liked the way it looks 🙂 ).
I never tire of how the Banff Springs Hotel merges so nicely with the mountain landscape.
Both images taken with Canon P 35mm rangefinder and 15mm/4.5 Voigtlander SuperWide Heliar lens

While walking in Banff I was stuck by how these trees were leaning; it seemed to me to have a certain elegance.

I only had a 50mm normal lens; I knew it and the squirrel knew it, and I couldn’t get closer without the squirrel scurrying off. I think the squirrel was silently chuckling.

I was out this morning at Todmorden Mills; it was cool, but some amazing light to work with. One of the cameras  I was using was my Mamiya Universal Press, with a 90mm/3.5 lens and a 6×9 medium format back attached. I was shooting Rollei RPX 25, a very slow speed film an with a small aperture the tripod was a necessity for the 1/4 sec or so shutter speed.

Writing this on a cloudy Saturday morning, I am thinking back to a very sunny Sunday morning a couple of weeks ago at the Beaches. I love the early morning angle of the sun! This is cropped from the original half-frame image, as someone edged into frame at the last minute.

This is one more image from the Distillery District: another view of one of the old pick-ups that is on display, slowing decaying.

From a couple of weeks back, on a Beaches morning so bright, the people on the boards are almost lost in the sun.

Another Olympus Pen half Frame image from last Saturday in the distillery district. This is the front of the other pick-up truck that is gracefully decaying in the area.
