A Stroll Down the Harbourfront

Now on roll eleven of my medium format negatives, we are still in Nova Scotia and walking through the industrial side of Lunenburg’s harbourfront.

The tenth roll of film showcases how things don’t always work out. The images of the shipwreck that a friend took me too were all too dark. Also, the green filtered image on the second and third image did not turn out at all. Regrettably, I couldn’t align the third set of pictures for the […]

Turning Grey into Colour

When I took out my dad’s Ricohflex again, I went to Kildonan Park just after an October ice storm that had sheered a number of tree branches. It was a relaxing morning and I brought along my coloured lenses for a bit of fun and science wizardry. Using the red, green, and blue filters, I […]
