Quonset Negative
In Quonset Colours I show the other side of this partially demolished Quonset hut wall.
This side is very much like a negative of that other view, the way the colours are all different..
Kiix?in Views
This is today’s companion post from 52Rolls. Regular visitors will recognise this spot from the digital version I posted a few weeks ago here.
Before my latest trip to Haida Gwaii (images coming soon!) I made a day trip to the Kiix?in National Historic Site located in Barkley Sound near Bamfield. It is about a 4 hour drive (much of it on logging roads) and 20 minute hike from Victoria, but worth every minute of getting there, and back. Especially on a beautiful day like we had. On the way we were stopped by bridge repairs at the Nitinat River crossing and photos of the foggy, moss-covered forest also taken on this roll of film can be seen at my blog (link), posted at the same time as this one.
I have worked at Kiix?in (?=glottal stop) several times over the past 31 years. This time was a trip to provide advice to the Huu-ay-aht First Nation whose site it is, and in particular to Tliishin, the hereditary chief of Kiix?in. We stopped at the…

Mayne and Miscellany
Yesterday’s post featured double exposures from this same roll of film. If you click through to 52Rolls, you will find the rest of the roll which is from Mayne Island, and around Victoria.
This is another roll of film from my summer backlog, dating to mid-July when I was back in town for a week or so. These are all taken with my Canon Elan 7N, most often, or perhaps always, with the EF 50/1.4 mounted. Most of these shots are taken on, or on the way to, Mayne Island where we visited for a day but a few are taken in the Chinatown area of Victoria and nearby.
Mayne Island is a beautiful place in British Columbia’s Gulf Islands – they are the same geographical feature as the San Juan Islands across the border in Washington State. A lucky few find a way of living in the Gulf Islands, a life that has many attractions.
The rest of this roll is experiments with intentional double exposures. By and large they are fails, but if interested you can find them at Ross Bay…

Ross Bay Villa Doubled
Double exposed film pictures from my summer backlog, this time from mid-July when I was actually in town for a few days. These shots are from a roll of film that is featured on my 52Rolls.net project in a post title Mayne and Miscellany that is posted at the same time as this at this link.
I was experimenting with intentional double exposures, a feature that the Canon Elan 7N allows – you can set it to automatically shoot multiple exposures, up to 9 (why?) exposures on a single frame. You have to reset the feature each time you want multiple exposures which is a nuisance if shooting a whole bunch of them, but a pretty good safety feature I suppose.
By and large these are fails – there are many things I need to learn about what to layer on a single image, and about exposure. For most of these I set the exposure values at half those metered – I can’t recall if I halved the ISO setting, or changed the exposure values manually.
