Over the past couple of weeks, I was camping and was also waiting for my first roll of slide film (Fujifilm Velvia 50) to come back from the folks at DC. Due to my ignorance, I didn’t know that it would take two weeks for the film to get processed. “Oh well,” I said to myself, “What to do in the meantime?”
Fujifilm’s Legendary Fujichrome Velvia 50 Slide Film
5th Ave. looking north. Shot at F8 or something I think.
I have mentioned in the first part of this 3-part mini series that this was the first time I am using a Canon DSLR at length. So, I am really in unfamiliar territory with this in terms of how the auto focus system behaves, and how the metering system is like, etc., etc. Handling, ergonomics, and menu digging aside, I did feel somewhat at home with the taking picture part of this system. Much like with any modern day DSLR, (more…)
What an odd roll of film to discover in my son’s bedroom – Kodak Gold 200?! I found this odd because:

What film would you like me to shoot with, and what in Toronto would you like to see on this film? I’m welcoming any suggestions – Vote in the poll, and leave a reply suggesting what place in Toronto you want to see on the film!
Where’s the sky? Everything else seems to be exposed properly…
Last week I was testing out a really old digital camera… (more…)

I seriously don’t know when I got this roll
So I finally finished one of my very very old rolls of Kodak Elite Chrome I’ve had laying around. How old you ask? Probably close to 11 years. I vaguely remember purchasing this along with 2 rolls of Ilford black and white film, which I just only finished recently. (more…)
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).
Will “Canadian Cheese” finally get a chance to try the legendary Uncle Tetsu Japanese Cheesecake?
