The
spring so far is most dismal where the weather is concerned. Every
second day seems like it's raining, and all I can do is hope for sunny
weekends. Luck was with me on the Victoria Day weekend, however, and on
Monday I set off for York Redoubt to do some images of the York Shore
Battery. Though I did make a fair number of images on 4"x5" film, almost
all those that I felt really strongly about were made on roll film -
I'm not sure if this has as much to do with strong imagery as much as
fascination with a new toy, but regardless, I got some images worth the
effort.

One
of the strongest images of the day, and so far this one has really
stuck with me, was of disconnected power pipes. To be honest, the shot
screamed for colour film, so in the future I may re-approach it with
that in the film-back. The exposure was long - 15 seconds, but I've
pretty much worked out reciprocity failure, so the neg. is excellent. I
am going to let this image sit for a while, but I suspect it'll end up
as a large print somewhere on my walls. The act of putting a photo of a
wall on a wall has always pleased me!

The
upshot of the afternoon was that new toys still fascinate me. The
wide angle 65mm super-angulon lens in combination with the 120 roll back is constantly
in use, but hopefully very shortly, it will simply become a possibility
in my tool-set rather than the dominant instrument.
