This trip was the first time I've even visited Jingshan park in my entire life. The first day I was there I went and scouted out this obvious location, but at sunset, the crowds will not allow any tripod placement let alone a huge viewcamera. So after shooting the red door I left to come back one an early morning to shoot the forbidden city just after sunrise. The air was absolutely filthy that day, so I decided to shoot in 4x10 format using my cut dark slide on Provia 100F. The image came out quite nice and I feel it somehow reflects the actual situation in Beijing which is first and pollution ruining the beauty of the imperial architecture everywhere.

These are yellow ornamental grasses that grow in our backyard. I had snapped off a bunch of them a few weeks ago and brought them inside to dry before taking a shot of them. I've always referred to them as "Giant Hogweed" after the Genesis song.

This is a detail of the lower right corner of a cabinet card I have posted from our collection. I believe that the card reads "Chas. A. Gates, Photo. Over Post Office, Watkins, N.Y."
If any flickr poster has information on a Gates working in Watkins, NY in the 19th century I would be glad to hear about it.
Burlington's second oldest Church is St. John's. Built to serve the rural community of Nelson along the Dundas Road, it has always been an extension of St Luke's in the downtown. The parish still worships in their original building and only became a single-point charge in the 1980s.

A thriving village located at the intersection of Dundas and Highway 25, originally founded as Hagartown in 1805. Named for the first settlers, the Hagar family who arrived from the United States. In 1836 it adopted the name Palermo, in honour of Horatio Nelson, Lord of Palermo. Population peaked at 300 and it had a wide range of farms and industries, including an iron foundry. Pictured here is the 1942 schoolhouse (built with materials from an earlier schoolhouse) is one of the several reminders of the village which was amalgamated into Oakville in 1962. Today the schoolhouse is home to the Trafalgar Township Historical Society.

Completed in 1905 the Brantford Station is the fourth station to serve this line, the first two being constructed by Buffalo & Lake Huron Railway and the next two by Grand Trunk. Designed as a propaganda piece to inspire confidence in the railway. Following the Picturesque aesthetic and incorporating Gothic, Romanesque, and Italianate details it is a grand example of turn-of-the-century architecture that would go on to inspire Guelph's Central Station. When Canadian National ceased passenger service, VIA rail took over operations and maintains it here today.

I finally went to the Grist Mill near Woodland, Washington. My intention was to get some good fall foliage pictures. Well, most of the leaves were already down. So, I was left with a difficult contrast situation, i.e. there was no contrast to speak of, just a little sun break just past the mill. My 165mm Schneider (for 8x10) lens is so large that none of my filters would fit on it, so a red filter was out of the question. I decided to shoot FP4 because of its slightly higher contrast, and even though I rated it at 80 ASA, I developed for full film speed. I also did not adjust development for 2 stops of reciprocity correction. This bumped up the contrast enough to give me detail in the wood on the mill. I actually had to lower contrast after scanning, but I burned in some of the remaining leaves a little.

A classic late 1800's / early 1900's studio camera originally used for portraits on odd size dry plates. I rebuilt the camera and converted it to to take standard 4x5 film holders. Recently I made a lens board to take a roughly 280mm vintage Baush & Lomb brass lens that I've had sitting on a shelf as decoration for several years.

While not a bad set, they certainly aren't my favourites. But I don't completely blame the developer. I was shooting a hard light, often falling directly on the subject. I still get some mid-tones, but it is significantly compressed. The grain is low, but edge sharpness is retained.

Initially authorised by John Grave Simcoe as a means to improve travel and colonial expansion across Upper Canada, the road is named either Governor's Road, or Dundas Road, named for Simcoe's friend Henry Dundas. The original section from Burlington Bay to the Upper Forks of the Thames River, by the Queen's Rangers, started in 1793. Eventually, it expanded throughout the 19th Century across York (Toronto), becoming one of the longest uninterrupted roads and opening up a great swath of Upper Canada for colonization. In the 1920s, it formed the backbone of what would become Highway 5 and became the first of the Provincial and later King's Highway system to be paved end-to-end. Through the 1950s and 1990s, most of the highway was downloaded by the Province to local governments. Today it is mainly known as Dundas Road through Oakville.

This is my "test barn" that I shoot whenever I get new equipment or I'm trying new techniques. It offers some serious challenges to exposure because you are always fighting the sun and the front of the barn is almost always in shadow. I brought my older Calumet CC-401 4x5 out on this particular day in September when I was trying out shooting color negative film on the 4x5. As always, the scene posed a metering nightmare so I metered on the front and side of the barn and averaged that exposure out knowing I would have to compromise and give up the exposure of the sky because I had left my Grad ND filters at home, Grrrrrrrr.
The barn is located on Swamp Creek Road in Perkiomenville, a rural part of Montgomery County Pennsylvania.

On day 4 of my Zion fall color trip, I headed into the Virgin River Narrows at first light. This scene, Paradise Cove, was on my list for the day, but when I arrived there in the morning, the light was dull and flat. On my way back, however, I'd run out of color film. I stood there for several minutes contemplating the scene before deciding to go ahead and try to capture it on black and white film. To be honest this scene does a lot better on Velvia. The wall on the left is illuminated by orange glow of reflected light, and the trees are bright yellow cottonwoods. The cliff to the right is deep red sandstone, and the water is a pale teal color. But the textures and light are still very beautiful on black and white, and I'm glad I did make at least this one exposure of this scene. In post, I decided to crop the scan to a panoramic composition, as the subject elements are spread horizontally across the middle of the frame.

ICA Toska 9X12cm Plate Camera with a Doppel - Periskop 135mm f/11 lens in a Zenith shutter. It has rise and fall movement of the lens and extension bellows for closeups. I believe this model is from 1910. I had to do some repairs like re-attaching the bellows in the back and some cleaning, otherwise it seems to function great.

I don't know why, but the Ocilloscope was on, and I had generated a sine wave with an audio generator, and yet it didn't show up in the picture. This film should have been sensitive to green. Still, this is the project I'm working on. This was a test for part of the setup. I want to create a mad scientist mini lab to use as a prop for portraits.
The negative turned out really well. The alchemy gods did smile upon my darkroom on this day.

This image (about 4 ¼ X 3 inches) has not had an easy life. It was glued down to a later cardboard frame and was much faded by time. I have given the contrast a boost so that we can enjoy its original (I think) charm.
The James Street station is actually the third station to service Hamilton's original train line. Replacing two previous stations on the other side of James Street originally built by Great Western Railway and Grand Trunk Railway. The new Canadian National Station followed elements of Neoclassical design with Beaux-Arts and Art Deco elements. The grand station opened in 1931 with great fanfare and offered Hamilton residents a great deal of class with columned waiting rooms, terrazzo floors, brass ornamentation and a full dining room. By the 1960s passenger services had been cut and the mail and parcel wing began a freight car maintenance facility, and GO Transit took over commuter traffic in 1967. VIA Rail took a lease on the station in 1985, but move to Aldershot in 1992. GO Transit relocated to the Hunter Station in 1992 and Canadian National ceased all operations in 1993. The station only saw restoration thanks to the action film the Long Kiss Goodnight who in 1996 offered Canadian National a million for restoration. LIUNA ended up completing the work, putting an additional three million into the station, which reopened in 2000 as an event and banquet venue.

Completed in 1856, the Port Hope Station is a Grand Trunk Class B Wayside Station with a six-bay design. Constructed of local limestone in the Italianate Style, the station saw the addition of a telegraph bay in 1881. While threatened with demolition in 1978, funding mean for the construction of a new simple shelter by Canadian National instead went towards restoration in 1980. Today it is one of only two operational Grand Trunk Stations and one of nine surviving original GTR stations in Ontario.

I promised a stereopticon of the Union Pacific Cheyenne round house but, face it, this view at Sherman station is a lot more dynamic as a stereo view. I studied some of the old William Henry Jackson finished stereo views and they were saturated yellow so I shifted the balance of my old stereo original. I made it from an old Abraham Lincoln card. In Photoshop, I cleaned the images and titles from the old front and the text from the reverse for a blank to use at my will. The style mimics an original card pretty well. A while back I took some of my own views sepia toned and reproduced as stereo cards to an Estes Park historic meeting to display. One fellow loved my built up stereo cards and wanted to buy one swearing it was real prize. I replied that it I knew it was fake having just knocked it out and gave it to him. I assembled it from layers of parts and used pins, sand paper to round the corners and an Xacto to aged it. Scuffing them on a concrete floor does wonders too. I bet a microscope would detect the pixels. This construction was done in Photoshop but I like it pretty well and I might cobble an "original" up from parts and layers then age it properly for the Antiques Roadshow.
Here we are at the original station on the old grade of Sherman. The main line was rerouted south of here and Sherman was abandoned in 1901. I found and confirmed traces of the old roundhouse and depot by closely tracing the old line on Google maps near the Ames pyramid monument. I also found what may be remnants of the old wind mill. There are no Sherman remains today after UP drove the twin tunnels and regraded the line. All of the old route can be found by following the grade from here: www.google.com/maps/@41.1330231,-105.397293,137m/data=!3m...
This whistle stop looks pretty rustic in the late 1860s however it was certainly brand new with barrels between the rails and elsewhere. Barrels often transported new rail spikes before aging fine wine. The telegraph line was a bit crusty and one looks askew; it looks to be propped up by some ties. There are also unused piles of ties. All the right of way ties are random, fresh and hacked off, rough cut instead of the machine cut ties that came later. The view west shows several wooden buildings. Two men are on the platform next to the main line in front of the water tank down the line. This must be very few days or months since the crews graded and built here.
William Henry Jackson shot this historic place for the USGS "United States Geological Survey." It looks like he was heading west. This shot shows the effort it took grading over Sherman Hill, Dale Creek, Laramie and down to Green River.
