This past Sunday was Father’s Day, so we all went into downtown Peterborough for a car show along Hunter Street. It was a mix of classics, modern cars and some exotic super cars. It was extremely hot out, so we didn’t spend a whole lot of time there, but I did manage to fire off…
Back at the beginning of May, our camera club went to Lock 24 on the Trent-Severn Waterway. I was mainly shooting medium format film, until I ran out and switched to shooting 35mm. The shots below were taken with my Nikkormat FTn and a roll of Kentmere 400 pushed 2 stops. I really dig the…
Two weeks ago, our camera club returned to an old favorite – Little Lake Cemetery. I’ve been coming to this location ever since my renewed interest in photography as it’s a quiet spot on the water surrounded by history. I’m slowly working on a photo project to capture the things that loved ones leave on…
Two weeks ago I was in Toronto taking a course for work. I was staying right downtown and was able to get out for a quick photo walk with my Yashica MAT-124 and a roll of Ilford HP5 Plus 400. I was pretty happy with how most of the shots came out. Camera: Yashica MAT-124…
I almost forgot about this roll of film. It’s been close to two months since I took these photos. There’s something magical about looking at photos for the very first time long after you forgot they even existed. Too often we view and share images immediately after making an exposure. We see the images on…
This past Thursday, I joined our local camera club on an outing to photograph trilliums at various spots around town. In fact, I only made it to one spot before calling it a night. The woods at Fleming College are a favourite of the club, yet I haven’t ever been there before. The bugs weren’t…
Back at the end of March, we had some nice weather, so I took my kids to the local zoo in Peterborough. I brought along the Holga and a roll of Arista EDU Ultra 100. Below are some shots that I was pretty happy with. I’ve only had the Holga out a couple times, but…
Way back in mid-March while working in Toronto and staying in a hotel near the airport for 5 nights, I had a bit of free time to kill, so I went for a walk in the near by Centennial Park. It was cold. Very cold. And windy. There wasn’t another person in sight and I…
It’s been over a month since my last post… which might be a new record for me. Just been too caught up with work stuff and a kitchen renovation to be able to go out shooting. Last week our camera club meetup was at Lock 24 along the Trent-Severn Waterway between Peterborough and Lakefield. It’s…
Late in the afternoon on Easter Monday, we took the kids to Beavermead Park and Rogers Cove to get outside and get some sunshine and exercise. I quickly ran through a roll of film (which I’ll post later), and continued to shoot with my phone. Below are some shots I took from our walk and…
Last weekend I had to work. I don’t care for working weekends. So, I took this past Wednesday and Thursday off instead. The sun was shining bright, so I packed up my Crown Graphic and Pentax 6×7 cameras and headed to Port Hope then Cobourg. I’ve shot both these places before, but never at this…
Earlier this week a work friend asked if I’d be interested in shooting some film at lunch. She has been a major source of my camera collection which she had acquired from family members over the years, so I was more than happy to provide some film and go out shooting. She has held on…
