Exactly one year on from the first time I developed colour negative film, the sun smiled down on me, providing a day with weather that was very much the same as it was on this day last year, though about 4 degrees warmer. To mark the occasion, I even used the same film and camera…

The first (and last) times I cross-processed slide film using negative chemistry (E6 film in C-41 chemistry), I was generally pleased with the results, if not so much the uninspired content. In part to fight the winter doldrums brought on by a most unwanted cold snap, I began to eye some of the expired rolls…

I’ve made no secret of the fact that I would love more sun in the winter. We see too little of the daystar in a season that is defined by snowvercast skies, so when they sun’s out, if I am not at work, I am out with it. There is a downside. There is a…

As I’ve belly-ached about enough recently, the weather hasn’t exactly been great motivation for me to get around too far, which in turn has left photo inspiration in short supply. I complain about that a whole lot, don’t I? In an attempt to push through a little, this week, I loaded a short roll of…

I recently purchased a shiny and new Pentax ES [Electro-Spotmatic] II camera. The latest-and-greatest from Pentax in 1973, I had been looking for something that would allow me to use the beautiful screw-mount lenses in the collection, but with onboard metering. None of the Spotmatics on the shelf have operating meters. It’s always a risk,…

While it wouldn’t be accurate to say that I don’t make colour photos during the winter, my use of colour film certainly slows down! In spite of the heavy overcast and threat of 12mm worth of “wintry mix” (spoiler: it was just rain by the time it came), I decided that I wanted to make…

No, the title isn’t a self-critique: we’re entering a January warm spell! This means snow, sleet, and slush. We’re a bit messy here in Centretown. Still, given how often I’ve complained about this year’s cold, the temperatures that are making the slushy mess possible are more comfortable than the deeper winter chill we’ve had until…

The first day of my little winter vacation! A perfect time for …errands in the cold. They weren’t all errands, but after mixing up a little C-41 chemistry, I figured that it would be a good idea to get myself a little bit of Ilford XP2 Super around. It’s one of my favourites! So as…

One of my little gremlin companions is that if I have not done something in a little while, the fear that I will forget how to do it and have to start all over again begins to gnaw at me. It usually seems to begin somewhere around a month, which causes me to think that…

One thing that Kathleen and I have noticed this fall is that the wildlife around us seems a little less interested in holding still when I try to make a photo. We’ll be walking along, I’ll see a crow with some french fries, pause to compose a photo, and no sooner does that happen, the…
