The PanAm Torch Relay Passing my office tower
This passed by my office tower not too long ago. Sorry for the terrible digital zoom and small resolution too…but hey, this was the best “snap” shot I was going to get from up on the 17th floor! 😛 XP XD
Ah, Ninja Gaiden and it’s awesome 16 colour CGA graphics!
Does anyone remember when computer and console games used to be just plain frustrating, but fun to play at the same time? Ninja Gaiden used to be one of those!
Boxes of film can have all sorts of numbers on them. What does that big number on the box or canister mean?
I get a few people who ask me what the difference is between ASA and ISO, and an even more random mention of what DIN is. All three terms are used to describe film speed or, more technically, film sensitivity.
The Toronto Club ( at the corner of York and Wellington Streets.) Founded in 1837, this is the oldest private club in Canada. The building, itself, was opened in 1889.
Well I think the title of this blog post says it all. But I do have a story to tell about this film, if you are willing to read on (and enjoy perusing the photos).
From the editors of Just Wrote A Blog (including the Canadian one =P), we would like to wish everyone a safe an joyous independence day. Go forth and celebrate the fourth.
Just do it safely, and not so gluttonous.
And finally we leave you with this.

We here at Just Wrote A Blog try to give you the best possible content in a timely manner, even though we’ve sucked at it in the past. I myself got a little carried away with my 3-part ‘Weekend with Canon’ mini series, and did not take into account a couple of things. One of them is how massive the jpg’s are (converted from RAW) on a 50 MP camera. File sizes ranged from 30-43 MB. I will need to maneuver a few things around so you all can have access the full size JPG’s, as well as small enough files for the normal blog. The blog entry itself is a bit of all over the place, so I need to refine that a scoche.
So while we fix these issues, please enjoy a photo of some beets (above) that I took with the 5DS and the filthy fifty (50mm F/1.2 L)
As always, leave us a comment or like us on FB and or here. And while you’re at it, might as well follow us too, so you don’t miss out on timely missed content =P

Probably My Best shot in the roll?
I was sifting through some boxes in an effort to remove some junk in my room and discovered an unused roll of expired Fuji Superia X-TRA 400.
It’s nice of Canon to reminds us to Bring It. You know: extra memory cards, batteries, lenses, etc.
Thank you to Fotocare for holding this rental for me. <-Useless plug, well maybe.
Let me get something out of the way first. Canon’s 5DS is the first Canon DSLR that I have spent any significant time with. I have shot DRebels, and A 7D Mk1, but only for a few shots, and really just a quick look with some of my various friends gears.
Having said that, the main reason why I never really considered Canon (more…)
I would like to take a moment and congratulate our co-founder Cheesecake for surviving the High School years. We welcome you to adulthood, and it only get’s that much more fun from here on in.
The look of someone losing the game.
Infrared Photo of Old Toronto City Hall. I am assuming that the “dark face” of the clock was reflecting little to no infrared light to my camera.
Even before I picked up the Fuji Acros film (mentioned in my last post), I had walked into the Henry‘s Camera Shop down the street from DC and found a roll of Ilford SFX 200 film. I was intrigued by the box – It was black, with the letters SFX in purple…why is this film different? So I bought the roll and later that day asked Jon about it…
