Transition
Transition Taken with my Olympus OM-1 film SLR a few weeks ago on the ferry to Vancouver Island. No post processing, just a scanned negative. I’m loving film again. from Tumblr https://bcbrit.tumblr.com/post/172299249394
Walking Victoria – Ogden Point
Named after a 19th Century, Hudson's Bay Company trader, the breakwater pier at Ogden Point provides great views whatever the weather. Victoria proved to be a good city for walking. Whilst on a recent visit, the car was left idle and the legs provided all the motive power needed to cover the downtown and...Continue reading→
The film bug bites hard
It's a brand new, old world and I'm loving it. I admit that form and function are important to me. After reacquainting myself with film through the Olympus Trip I turned my attention to finding an old SLR camera. What to look for? It was a no-brainer. The Olympus OM-1, a well storied, professional quality...Continue reading→
Exploring film
It’s been instructional and entertaining. I’ll continue to shoot film as part of my creative growth. My photogrsaphic heritage includes shooting film. My first ever 35mm camera was an Olympus Trip and I loved that camera. Even though I was the guy that retained my turntable and vinyl albums rather than my old film cameras,...Continue reading→
DSLR time
At last, a DSLR. I found the Canon refurb store on eBay around 2005 and waited for an EOS 300D to show up. It was what I could afford at the time and I used existing glass. I was back in the world of through the lens and enjoying the benefits of selecting my glass....Continue reading→

Testing the OM30
I recently bought an old Olympus OM30, dating from the mid 1980s. It was a short-lived model and now quite rare, or unpopular! Continue reading→
Photo walks with the Olympus Trip
I've been getting back into shooting film again recently, using my Olympus Trip 35, point-and-shoot. The camera is around 40 years old and still in great condition with a working light sensor and a sharp lens. Its portability and simplicity make it great for street shooting so I headed into Vancouver and Maple Ridge for...Continue reading→
Mille Miglia close and personal
It's evocative. It sets the pulse racing. From 1927 to 1957, the Mille Miglia was a road race, starting and finishing in Brescia in the north and travelling as far south as Rome. Established by two counts, Francesco Mazzotti and Aymo Maggi, this was a 1000-mile race for Grand Touring cars. With eleven wins over...Continue reading→
