I took a short drive and a long walk around the small historical town of Amhestburg, Ontario. Situated on the Detroit river, the town is a mix of cute historical kitsch and vast abandoned buildings, it's weird. In the background you can see Boblo Island, once a island amusement park in the 50's that Detroiters would take their kids to on the weekend, now it's a housing estate for the rich elite. Apparently the old rollercoasters are still there, and I plan to get in there to sometime soon, once I figure out a way to be allowed on the island...
I love my TLR, I really do. It's ability to capture a scene is incredible, it's never fails to deliver, and because of that it only leaves my abilities to be it's limit. The workflow of composing and taking a shot with a TLR is quite cumbersome: fiddling around looking at everything through a mirror, while bent over trying to get the focus right and using a light meter to get your exposure right, while your subject waits for your to give them the thumbs up, it requires some patience, but the reward of those big beautiful negatives is fully worth it. With this roll it seems I got 11 shots out of 12 that I was absolutely stoked with, not bad for a quick morning drive around the county.
Another roll with the Sprocket Rocket at the Show 'n' Shine following the Sleepy Hollow Rod Run, an annual event here on the Sunshine Coast. Love the Chrome colors!
