Ilford HP5 Plus - Canon Canonet QL17 - Toronto

Toronto's CN Tower

Last week over on the Coalesce52 blog I posted some of my Fuji Astia 100 images from Toronto's Chinatown. While I was in Toronto I also shot a roll of 35mm Ilford HP5 Plus using my Canon Canonet QL17 GIII, which is what you see here. I must say, the more I shoot Ilford's films in any format the more I enjoy them. Take a look at some of my favorite images from this roll and then be sure to check out my Chinatown images over on the Roll-A-Week blog. Enjoy!

Expired Polaroid ID Ultraviolet Film - Country Winery

Today, I have a real quick post for you to share an image that I took along the road on my way home from Toronto this past weekend. While still on the other side of the border, I hopped off the highway for a bit to see the country side and drive along the Niagara wine trail. This photo is from one of the more interesting wineries that I drove past and seemed like the perfect place to stop to snap a few pictures. I shot this with a Polaroid 250 and some expired Polaroid ID UV film. 

Happy Friday and enjoy your weekends.

Expired Polaroid ID Ultraviolet Film - Impossible Project PX680 American Woods - Toronto's CN Tower

This past weekend I celebrated my birthday in Toronto, Ontario. Looking for a mini road trip/escape from the mayhem that is St. Patricks Day in Cleveland, we made the five hour trek up north for three nights to eat, drink and shoot some film. While the weather didn't quite cooperate in the way we hoped, we were able to cover a good deal of the city on foot. The film I shot was mostly 35 mm (because the cameras were compact and easy to carry around) but I did shoot a few instant photos along the way as well. 

At top is the CN Tower shot with a Polaroid 250 and some expired Polaroid ID UV Film. I actually took this photo from inside the loft we stayed at where the temperature was more conducive to shooting instant film. Below are two photos from the top of the CN Tower shot with a Polaroid SX70 and some of Impossible Projects PX 680 American Woods film. I've been wanting this film since it came out as a special edition border and was lucky enough to get the three pack for my birthday from my lovely girlfriend. These photos were again taken from an indoor location (the few outdoor photos I attempted with this film made it apparent that it was in fact too cold for good instant photos) but I think they came out pretty well.

More photos from this trip coming to this blog and the Coalesce52 blog soon, so, be sure to check back. Enjoy.
