It was a beautiful summery weekend, so Anita and I headed out downtown to enjoy the breeze coming off the river. This is a view of the Peace Bridge, a recently installed 25 million dollar overpriced piece of architectural eye candy (or eyesore, depending on your tastes).

A self taken in the mirror of our ensuite bathroom. I have no idea what that large flare across the middle is all about. There shouldn't have been any stray light causing it... This should be the last red scale photo from me for a while...

The smiley, less attitude filled version of the previous shot. Shot on Lomography Redscale XR film, which is a redscale emulsion that has a very large exposure range. You can shoot it between ISO 50 to 200, with the wide range giving you different colour effects. As I understand it, the lower the ISO you shoot at, the colours shift more towards the yellows and greens, whereas shooting at a faster speed pushes the colours more to the ambers and reds like normal red scale.

This film is definitely not for everybody, and I have to say, I'm not terribly impressed with the quality of the film myself, considering the price. I've attempted to shoot a few rolls of this already, but have had the rolls tear inside the film back a couple times, jamming up the back. And this roll spooled fine, but came out with these large scratches that show up as blue streaks in every photo. Thumbs down!

Anita and Vania showing a bit of attitude, while we were waiting outside for a table to open up inside Red's Diner in Calgary. No, this is not one of those overdone instagram shots with some goofy filter applied. The weird palette of colours was achieved by shooting this on Lomography Redscale XR film, which is a redscale emulsion that has a very large exposure range.

There's been far too much 'serious' photography on my stream lately, so tonight I present a toy camera triptych from Jiao Fen in Taiwan. This was taken way back in January, but I just got around to scanning it. You should really view this large on black to get a better appreciation of it.
