The Trouble with Scanning Redscale Film

110, Alberta, C-41, Calgary, Canada, Kodak Ektralite 500, Lomography Lobster Redscale 200, redscale No Comments

The trouble with scanning redscale film is that the scanning software will try to correct for the red and yellow color cast in the images. The resulting images are often washed out and grainy and require manual correction to get the expected redscale look. I use VueScan and Negative Lab Pro to scan and convert […]

High Park

110, Alberta, C-41, Calgary, Canada, Lomography Tiger Color 200, Rollei A110 No Comments

These photos were taken in Calgary’s High Park, a park located on the 6th floor of a parkade building downtown. The park was undergoing some maintenance while I wandered around and photographed the views of downtown.

First Impressions of the Rollei A110

110, Alberta, black & white, Calgary, Camera Reviews, Canada, Lomography Orca B&W 100, Rodinal, Rollei A110 2 Comments

The Rollei A110 is a small, solid, over-engineered 110 camera that is a lot of fun to shoot. It’s compact size and sliding action film-advance will bring out your inner spy. It’s hard not to feel like a covert agent with this camera. Advertised by Rollei as the smallest and most expensive instant-loading camera for […]

Shooting Portraits with the Diana Baby 110

110, Lomography Diana Baby 110, Lomography Peacock Slide / X-Pro 200, square, toy camera No Comments

One of the only cool things about the Diana Baby 110 camera is that it has a PC Sync port on the top. So, naturally, I connected it to my studio strobes and shot some portraits.

Summer & Winter

When you leave a roll of film in a camera for too long, you can take photos in both summer and winter!

Walk Along the Bow River #4

110, Alberta, C-41, Calgary, Canada, Lomography Diana Baby 110, Perutz PR 200, square, toy camera No Comments

I wasn’t sure how these photos would turn out given the age of the film; this roll of Perutz PR 200 expired in 1992. Assuming I would need to compensate for the film’s age by adding one stop for every decade past expiration, I estimated that I should shoot this roll at ISO 25. All […]

Comparatively Speaking

110, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Lomography Diana Baby 110, Lomography Peacock Slide / X-Pro 200, square, toy camera 2 Comments

I shot these photos at Fish Creek Park on the same day I shot similar photos on Ferrania Solaris FG 100 with my Canon EOS 3. It’s interesting to compare the two sets of photos as it really highlights what a good camera, lens, and film combo can do. (Hint: these are not the better […]

Zoo Animals #3

110, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Lomography Tiger Color 200, Superheadz Ikimono Flash 110, toy camera No Comments

The Superheadz Ikimono Flash 110 is a cute little camera. It’s too bad that the film advance on mine often fails to stop at the next frame and cock the shutter. It’s not uncommon for me to lose one or two frames each time I advance the film.

I don’t think this photograph would be as interesting without the couple in the foreground enjoying the view.

On the Farm

110, Kodak Ektralite 500, Lomography Peacock Slide / X-Pro 200, New Zealand No Comments

Here are a few more photos from the family farm. New Zealand farms are often very hilly making them best for dairy farming or raising sheep. This one even has an apple orchard.

Calgary skyline from Memorial Drive / Bow River

Here are more photos I shot along the Bow River and Memorial Drive while out walking with Sarah, albeit on a different day. That being said, they were taken with the same camera: my mom’s old Kodak Ektralite 500.

Around Town with the Diana Baby 110

110, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Lomography Diana Baby 110, Lomography Peacock Slide / X-Pro 200, square, toy camera No Comments

I recently picked up the Diana Baby 110 from Lomography. Since I already own and love the Diana F+ and the Diana Mini, I had high hopes for this camera. The Diana Baby 110 is a delightful little camera, but sadly the resulting photos were a disappointment. Most of the roll turned out as complete […]

Screen Time

110, Alberta, Calgary, Canada, Lomography Tiger Color 200, Superheadz Ikimono Flash 110, toy camera No Comments

These were shot using my Ikimono Flash 110 camera by Superheadz. Sadly, this camera has a significant flaw. It often fails to stop on the next frame when advancing frames after a shot thereby skipping frames and wasting film.

Fun with Fukkatsu

110, Alberta, black & white, Calgary, Canada, Fukkatsu B&W 100, Kodak Ektralite 500 No Comments

These were shot using the FPP’s new Fukkatsu B&W 100 film for 110 cameras! The scratches are on the negative and I suspect it happened in camera.

Sarah and I took a walk along the Bow River one day and these are a few of the shots I took with my Kodak Ektralite 500.

Coyote Flats

110, Alberta, Canada, Kodak Ektralite 500, Lomography Tiger Color 200 No Comments

These were shot at Coyote Flats with a Kodak Ektralite 500. When I was helping my mom move back in 2016, I came across her old 110 film camera. Curious to see if the camera still worked, I asked my mom if I could have it and she gave it to me along with an […]
