Ballfield Fence
I was shooting some band promo shots with bigger SLRs and took this snapshot with my pocket camera. It is the fence behind where I was standing.
I like it better than any of the band shots from this locality.
It is one of the only shots on this roll of film that turned out pretty much as expected, in spite of the sad old film.
Overhead
This is in a restaurant that we go to once or twice a month.
Following the rule of “always look up”.
Not to mention, “carry a camera”.
Park Shelter
A park shelter in my neighourhood.
It catches the morning light in an interesting way.
This side sometimes holds supplies for kids summer programs.
The other side holds toilets, often in need of some cleaning.
Not Pink
This is Roll 14 from my 2016 52Rolls project. It was shot on expired thrift store film that is very far past its best. Some juicy colour shifts and lots of grain. It is interesting how different the results are from one expired roll to the next. This one was quite a surprise. Check out the original post as there are several images there. More will appear at Burnt Embers in the next few weeks.
200 ISO
Contrary to appearances, this building is not pink. It is orange. I had to think long and hard to remember what colour it really was after I saw these images as I knew it was not pink.
These were taken with a roll of Kodak Gold 400 – a thrift store find of a bag of film for about 25 cents, or maybe 50 cents a roll. All the Kodak film in that bag told lies, though this one really takes the cake for decorative invention. The negatives are very thin, and the histogram on the scanner is a super narrow spike in the middle of the possible range. Hard to scan!
I should have learned and changed the ISO setting to accommodate its old age and an apparently abusive former relationship. Indeed for this scene I did test it by shooting first at box speed of 400 (next image), then 200…

Don’t Slip
These no-slip surfaces are common on docks around here, and especially the ramps leading down to docks.
One comes to really appreciate them when loaded with gear on wet days at low tide.
Hideous though they may be when compared to worn wood with grain standing off the surface a bit, which is what is underneath, they are still a thing of beauty.
Corrugations
There are a lot of buildings in the new developments of Vic West that are visually interesting.
I have no idea if they are good places to live or work but in the right light they sure are good for pointing a camera at them.
Tank Views
I am not sure what these tanks hold but it looks like water (potable, grey or sewage) might be the thing.
They are across the street from a ship yard so perhaps they are destined to be installed in a vessel. I have not a clue though.
The light was shining through them in a pretty great way so it doesn’t much matter what they are for.
They take on the look of a building like the ones in the background.
I cropped the top off where the chain link fence had interrupted the photo.
It is hard to shoot a range/view finder camera through chain link fencing as you don’t see exactly what the lens sees.
