Shots

Slow, contemplative ...

Minnekhada

Minnekhada | Mamiya 645 Pro-TL | 80mm | Ilford HP5 400

Keeping with my current theme of slowing down and taking my time with shots using my Mamiya 645 Pro-TL. I took the shot above on a tripod. Usually, my tripod is just something I have on hand to keep my camera out of the way on photoshoots but this time I used it on a hike with Sarah to Minnekhada Park. We stopped at the bottom of this nice root system and I begged for and received the time to set up the tripod and the big camera. In such a lush evergreen forest why did I use black and white? Well because of the detail. Black and white forces you to look at the detail, the tone, the texture of a shot instead of being taken with colour. With a medium format camera you have in the back of your mind that you have precious film that shouldn't be wasted. So out comes the tripod and your mind starts working on exposure problems. That's the theory and I'm sticking with it.

Painterly Portra

Bushes

Painterly Portra

This is the kind of film character that I was hoping to accidentally stumble upon in my grand tour through the world of film stock. Sure, I could just look on Flickr and see what other people use for their images but it is much more fun to, you know, actually try everything I could get my hands on to see what I wanted to work with and what not in my range.

A non-photobooth picture from distrait

One of the photogs assisting me Saturday night took an incredibly awesome picture when he was walking about not-assisting me. Take a look dammit. Great use of drag shutter.

Twelve bucks of exposures later ...

Harbour Center and the Seymour Building

Twelve bucks of exposures later

As the title says, I peeled apart about six exposures before I finally got a Polaroid that looks like it was taken by a decent camera (forget the photographer). I know you can get richer colours with Fuji peel-apart film but after throwing away all the trash from before I was happy to at least get a non-blurry, decently exposed instant exposure. With that, I've exhausted almost all of the expensive instant film I care to waste before I find an application for it all.
