35mm - Big City, Small Town Feel

You might be able to consider the following pictures as part of the Small Town - Night Series or you might just consider them as some photos that have their own category, you decide. I finally got around to developing some film that I have been dying to see. Some of these shots were taken back in the Fall of 2010, either September, October or November, I really have no idea when it was. It was a day that my girlfriend took me apple picking, something I had not done since a field-trip in kindergarten. I only took a few photos that day,  as I needed to help with carrying the giant bag of apples. We went apple picking at a farm out in the country (that makes sense I guess) called Pingle's and then also checked out the store-front that they had at the farm. It was a great day, and we were eating and baking with apples for the next few weeks!

The other photos in the post (this is where it is more like the Small Town/Night pics) are from downtown Toronto, in the Distillery District. Back in December there was a Christmas Market (apparently something more common in Europe?). It was a lot of fun, and we ended up going twice. There were vendors on the streets selling mostly home made food, pies, cakes and other treats. Along with the outside set-ups, all of the stores in the area were open extended hours, there were also many art-galleries open to walk through and enjoy. Santa also made the appearance for some photos with kids. There were carollers, clowns and lots of jolly people. I took more photos here because we went twice. Since it was at night I really had no idea what I was going to come home with, and since it was on 35mm film, it made it even more of a guessing game. Overall I am pretty happy with some of the shots that I got.

Enjoy!

Day on the Island

A little while ago, my friends and I decided to head to the lake to test out one of the guys recently purchased jet ski. We followed another group of our friends to the lake, and we ended up at a different area than we thought we were going to, with no beach or area to hang out really. Talked to a couple people at the marina there, and they told us about an island not to far from there. It took three trips on the three-seater jet ski, but we all made it there safely and had a great day. I used my Dad's 20 year old, original, Canon Rebel, and shot 35mm film through it. 1 roll in colour and the other roll in black & white. It was a blast and a great day with friends, enjoy!

ps. there were no colour adjustments or anything done to these photos, thats just what film looks like, pretty sweet eh?
