A selection of photos which I shot yesterday following a heavy thunderstorm. I’m still learning how to use the Rolleiflex SL66 and finding out that it has some issues that need fixing. Several shots didn’t turn out, but I can still appreciate the oneiric quality of the darker ones. My visit to this hidden spot was in-part a location scouting assignment for a film which I have been intermittently scripting for nearly a decade.

Montreal to Toronto – TRI-X 320

Armed with Roy’s Rolleiflex SL66 and several expired rolls of Kodak TRI-X 320 Film, I left for Toronto to surprise Hayden at his 40th birthday party.

Below are a selection of shots from the four rolls of film that I shot during my short trip. It took me a while to get a hang of the camera, so several shots didn’t turn out, but I’m very pleased with the ones that did. They are more eerie and evocative than I could have hoped for.

I’ll def be shooting with the Rolleiflex SL66 again.
