Little Blackstone Lake

A couple buddies and I decided to canoe into Little Blackstone Lake at The Massassauga Provincial Park. Accessible only after a 800m portage, the lake is quiet and fairly isolated.

We got lucky on the first night with the Milky Way, clear skies, and the Northern Lights. It was my first time seeing them and the dark skies over Georgian Bay were perfect for it!

Nikon FE First Roll

A few weeks ago I bought a Nikon FE off a guy in Waterloo and started messing around with some film photography.

I’ve always used digital cameras, so it was pretty fun to try something familiar but new. My first roll was 24 exposures of Kodak Gold 200 shot through a Minolta 70-210 with a not great Minolta to Nikon adapter. The end result are pretty blurry, and the local place that developed the film scratched the negatives, but the colours alone are enough to keep me coming back.

Shortly after getting that roll developed I found a 50mm 1.8 lens in Toronto and am now working my way through a roll of Fuji 200.
