Down in the Beaches again this week, and noticed two Muskoka chairs frozen in the ice. I took this image with my Sony A7ii and my TTArtisans 50mm f/2 lens.

Rollei Retro 80s as Infrared
Recently I have started using Rollei Retro 80s film with an IR 72 filter again, for an infrared look. On a bright sunny day at midday I rate the combo at EI 2, typically shooting a 1/2 second exposure at f/16. Even though this is not a true infrared film stock, I do like the look I get.
I took both images with my Rolleiflex 3.5E3 twinlens reflex. TLR’s and rangefinders are great for infrared work, compared to SLR’s as the IR 72 filter is almost completely opaque to visible light.
Five Minutes by the Water
Last Saturday I went down to the Beaches, this time with my Sony A7ii camera and Tamron 90mm lens. For a window of a few minutes there was some amazing light!
Enjoying My New (to me) Canon F-1n
I am really liking the Canon F-1n I got recently. This was the camera I lusted after as a teen in the 1970’s. Using my 200mm/f4 FD S.S.C. lens. Film was Fomapan 100.
Loving the Swirl
I was in the Beaches again this past weekend, and my lens of choice was my 58mm/f2 Helios 44/2. I love the overall look and swirl of this lens when used wide open!
A Fence on Queen Street
I continue to love the combination of Ultrafine Xtreme 400 film and Pyrocat-HD developer. It really brings out textures.

Early Morning Isolation
I tend to use the clock to manage social distancing. It was very quiet in Kew Gardens around 7:30 this morning.

Installation at the Beaches #2
Only a few weeks ago, but I feel the only mark of time that matters now is Before and After.
