Force of Nature

On an outing to Nose Hill Park in Calgary recently, I was struck by how trees were taking over an old road that had once been paved.

The Arch

I had never gotten around to shooting this arch before; I will have to go back and try a few different angles with it. I suspect the perfect angle would involve me standing the the middle of a busy intersection. Not safe in this city.

Back to the Plant #3

One final image from this series of the W.H. Harris Water Treatment Plant. The grey dull day seemed to align with the austere nature of the building.

Back to the Plant

I have shot the R.H. Harris Water Treatment Plant in Toronto a few times, but never with the Tamron SP superwide 17mm/3.5 lens so out I went last weekend. The very grey, flat lighting gave an interesting look to a very interesting building.

The Beaten Path

I love the organic look of unpaved trails. There is a sense of magic and story in them.

All these images are from a walk last Monday through High Park, taken with a Nikon N90s 35mm camera and Tamron 17mm superwide lens. Film used was Rollei RPX 400, developed in Perceptol developer.

Hello Lamppost

I was out again last Friday with my Nikon N90s and 17mm/3.5 Tamron SP lens. While most ultrawide images are in landscape orientation, I do like the look of this lens in vertical orientation as well.

Buses By The Museum

Yesterday afternoon I went out with my Nikon N90s, a 35mm SLR I haven’t used in some time. On it I had mounted my Tamron SP 17mm/3.5 Superwide lens, also neglected for some time. The N90s has lovely ergonomics and fits nicely in the hand, and this is the first roll I shot with the Tamron lens where I feel happy with the results. Both images below were shot on PolyPan F film, developed in Ilfosol 3.
