A Solo Sunday At The National Gallery

Elevated view of a river. A larger tour boat is docked below to the left as another small boat approaches from the right. The bottom of the frame is consumed by greenery.

Metallic sculpture suspended from above. A sign in the hallway above it says "Sobey Art Award. Prix Sobey Pour Les Arts. 2025"

Elevated view of a sitting area. All of the tables and chairs are empty with the exception on a single person scrolling on a cell phone.

Ha! Well, it never hurts! Slide was one of my top motivations for learning to develop film!

Didn’t miss anything! I just made a different photo on Sunday to help finish off a roll! ☺️

Thanks! We’re getting into peak autumn soon, so there will be leaves!

2

Charlotte @film.lottiephoto.ca · 22h

Ha! While not exactly cheap, it was definitely a lot less expensive where I ordered it from than I usually see it!

Even then, it’s true: It really does add up quickly!

(I might still be under the influence of the excitement for developing slide too…)

Ooh, a nice arrival of fresh Velvia.

Three rolls of Fuji Velvia 100 film, one showing an expiry date of June 2027.

Rossmann 100 (rebranded Fujicolor) expired in 2006 - not bad at all. And this was rated at 64 ISO so didn't even need a ton of compensation.

Sipping And Ceramics On A Sunny Saturday

Nearing the peak of a recent heatwave, it might be a little curious that this past Saturday’s adventure related to hot beverages. With the benefit of almost-sweaty hindsight, I’m now as…

Phone booth at the corner of a parking lot. A statue of a rabbit stands in front.

Street corner from the opposite side of the cross-street. The business on the corner is called Double Happiness Food & BBQ.

Sale sign on an empty lot. Someone has tossed a jacket to hang over the top.

The Ex was a perfect end of summer fair this year. I carried one camera and lens and spent eight rolls of film. Here’s the second set.

A woman walks past a cluster of plastic ferns with the kids’ midway behind her.

A fountain in the sun with slow slow shutter speed motion blur in the cascades of water.

A quiet moment as a man walks pasts an old fashioned illuminated sign that spells “FLYER”, those of a certain age will recognize the sign from the somewhat infamous wooden roller coaster from The Ex of yore. A security guard sits in the shade nearby.

People gather and enter the Better Living Centre and banners advertise an exhibit entitled “The Farm”.

Regaining A Skill That Went Fallow

I used to have a better sense for light. When I returned to using film for making photos, I didn’t have a camera with a meter and I was not aware of the numerous metering apps for phones. So …

In which I try to get better with my metering as slide is, well, slide.

Finishing Three Days And Three Film Types

It just seemed liked a tidy sort of mini-project. Well, project is just too strong a word. Even with the ‘mini-‘ qualifier. Really, it just seemed like a neat thing to do. With the same…

Squirrel on a fence in a city park observing the territory. To its right, inside the fence, is a tree.

Construction worker on scaffolding works on the brick facade of a mid-century apartment building.

Traffic sign indicating that the road to the left is a no-stopping zone and that buses go there. I will never not love that the sign shows the GM fishbowl/new looks as the symbol for "bus".

View into the rear parking access of three homes. A tree with bright red leaves stands between two of the homes.

As seen from an angle, the front entrance of a grey-painted brick home with green accents. A bicycle is locked to the railing of the front stoop.

Blue 1960s Ford Mustang parked at the side of a road in a residential area.

Pumpkins for sale outside of a grocery store in an urban area. I *love* making photos of these pumpkins every year, so there will be more photos like this one to come.
