The railroad changed everything. First arriving with the Hamilton & Toronto Railway (Great Western) in 1856. This massive bridge is not the original, but rather represents an updated bridge built by 1885 by Grand Trunk, and an extension added in the 20th Century. It still operates and sees tonne of traffic from commuters.

Well, I was certainly surprised with this group. Initially, I warry for nine minutes with a 1+50 dilution, but my concerns were immediately dismissed. These are stunning, with excellent tonality and edge sharpness. The trade-off is a bit more grain, but that's not bad.

Old Toyo 4 x 5 inch View Camera is seen in my studio area at our home at Pinellas Park, Florida, ca late 1970's. This old camera was used for product photography back in the day. It was always nice to work with the large format negatives and transparencies. The lens mounted to the camera is a Commercial Astragon 1:6.3 f-180 lens. This camera was not taken out on photo adventures when photographing trains! This photo was taken with a 2-1/4 x 2-1/4 inch model 500CM Hasselblad camera, with a 120 mm lens..
Custom modified Toyo view camera, set up for DSLR body.
Rear body replaced with cradle for DSLR body, modded belows with custom built camera mount that uses a T thread adapter so this will work with any brand that you can get a T adapter for (Nikon, Pentax, Minolta,Canon etc.), Monorail shortened and a new bracket fabricated for the tripod mount so that the original tripod mount is no longer between the front and rear standards.
This allows all standard view camera movements with both the front and rear standards, tilt, shift, rise.
This is a test run before putting this one up for sale I am only building a few of these.
Photo taken with a Nikon coolpix p6000.
Milton does not owe it's existance or expansion to the railroad like many communities in Ontario do. Milton didn't even have railway access. Milton didn't get it's first railroad until 1876 with Hamilton & North-Western and Credit Valley Railway in 1877. The original H&NW station is long gone, replaced in 1903 by the station pictured above by Grand Trunk. The CVR station remains as a private home today. The 1903 Station served Milton until 1973 when it was moved from Bronte Road to Highway 25 and serves as a tourist information centre today.

I have been shooting with a 4x5 view camera lately and these are some of the photos I have shot. Sorry for the bad scans.
This 2 ¼ inch diameter mirror was an advertisement for C. D. Kenny coffee. A photographer stands beside a view camera. His arm is on a pivot and when the mirror is tilted he removes and replaces the lens cap from the camera. It is undated and is marked D.R.G.M. to indicates that the design was registered in Germany. I would appreciate any information on date of the mirror. I suspect it is late 19th or early 20th century. The Kenny company were active from the 1870s till the 1930s but this design seems early to me.

Man, this REALLY is an imposing camera. I mean, you can use a hassy or a P6 or whatever and you won't have the same sensation of, well, you just have to take one on your hands.
Maybe it's the wooden grip; in fact, you could use it as a weapon; hell, a whole discipline of martial arts could be developed around it. Sixsevenjutsu or Pentax-do or something like that.
Or maybe it's the 105mm 'normal' lens, which is so massive.
When you go somewhere with this, hell, everybody knows who's the man in the place.
Jokes apart, it's been a while since I last posted here on Flickr and it feels good to come back. Camera porn will keep coming, and other things too. Thanks to all of you who follow my work; it really means much to me.

this is my Shen Hao folding field camera with a 6x12 rolfilm back attached. I was done photographing the lighthouse but stayed to enjoy the view and then desided to make a portraid of her.
One of my favourite homes in downtown Milton. This lovely Victorian home is one of many historic homes in the downtown although I wish I could have a shot of it without the electrical pole.

added a new member to the family recently. He's a little worse for wear but I'm confident there's a few good stories left in him.

Over the coming months I plan to revisit many photos taken 30 years ago with film and photograph them digitally.
I grew up near this area and lived here for 15 years with my first wife. I photographed here in the 80's and 90's using medium and large format cameras. I hadn't been through there for a number of years and will re-visit many of the images using digital equipment,
my first large format shot. a test really, to see if the camera is working ok.
this was done on christmas eve, from my friend's balcony in Carradale House. the building on the right is Balfron Tower.
it was a real pain getting this shot right. it was cold, and on the other side of the window, everyone was partying. it was dark and the focusing screen on MPP VII is not the brightest one out there, therefore there are few things in the picture (left top and bottom corners that shouldn't be there but I just couldn't see them then)
Nevertheless, it came out a bit better than I thought, amid all the difficulties.
and to be honest with you, I found out that spending an hour trying to get two shots good is one of the most relaxing and therapeutical activities I've ever done.
a quick scan, straightend, cleaned.

Great Western was the first to bridge the Niagara River at Niagara Falls in 1855. Buffalo & Lake Huron had been contemplating such a feat at Fort Erie since 1857 but never had the money. It wasn't until 1873 that Grand Trunk contracted the International Bridge Company to complete a bridge between Fort Erie and Black Rock in Buffalo. The bridge, designed and built under the eyes of Casimir Stanislaus Gzowski and D.L. MacPherson. At 147 years old, the bridge still functions serving both Canadian National and Canadian Pacific.

Originally established in 1855 as a Catholic Mission Church to Irish railway workers. The parish was supported by the Jesuit Order, building a humble frame church closer to the downtown. A poor parish, they always filled the pews, but had little extra funds to pay the missionary priests. In 1874, after the Bishop refused to enter the run down church and through several years of prayer and petition a gift from a widow allowed the parish to relocate to the 'railway lands' and construct a new stone sanctuary in 1885. Holy Cross would worship here until 1965 and the parish turned into an all-French Roman Catholic church, L'Eglise Sacré-Coeur.

In this cabinet card a young man uncaps the lens of his tripod mounted camera to make an exposure. In spite of the caped coat, grass, and landscape background it was taken in a studio. The background is unusual because it seems to be painted directly on the wall rather than on canvas. The landscape has been painted over the baseboard of the wall. The photograph is by Whitley of Elmira, NY.

This is a large format shot from the very early 2000's. I had spotted this tree on a previous trip and always had it in my mind to photograph it when the conditions were right. On this morning the fog was hanging low and liked how hit slightly obscured the smaller cottonwood in the background. I positioned my view camera so that one of the smaller branches aligned and touched the smaller tree.. I haven't shot with my 4x5 in quite since last fall, I need to break it out some more.
The Belleville Station is unique among the Grand Trunk Stations. Having been originally completed in 1856, constructed from Trenton Limestone, it always only served passengers. It never had a telegraph bay added, instead a Second-Empire Mansard Roof was added in 1881, all traffic control was done from a seperate building as part of a larger yard. Belleville marked a divisional point being half-way between Toronto and Montreal. The station's interior was signifigantly renovated in 1980 and lost most of the original finishes. The station closed in 2012 with the opening of a new VIA Station.

You will find it so stupid, but there are days that I just wake up and I want to shoot with a crappy lens. One of those lenses that many people in Internet forums swear they are pain sharp when in fact they are not. Folks, none of your industarss or helioses or tessars or whatever will ever beat a modern Summicron, so get over it and let's assume that for today's standards they are crappy lenses.
But somedays, I get up and I say, geez, i wanna shoot with something even MORE crappy.
That's when I pick my Smena.
Lovely camera, intended as a cheap gizmo for youngsters. There have been many generations of it, before and after this model, the 8M, always with a platic or bakelite body and normally with a metal lens that had to be cocked separately from winding the film.
I think that the 8M model beats them all, though. It is the living example that if you want to sell 25 million cameras of a particular model (they really were), you don't have to do any market research, serious product testing for feedback and elimination of flaws or a simple ergonomics study. No, you only need a closed market.
That said, I love the 8M. First time I saw one it was on the shelf of a hipster store, and I fell in love instantly, because believe it or not, I really love the design. It's got something.
That said, it's not a bad camera at all if you want to take some pictures with film: it's small, its light being all plastic and aluminium and the lens is from so-so to just ok. Hey, I can bet the one on your compact is worse. Besides, it has all what a manual camera should have: speeds from 1/15 to 1/250, iris settings from 4 to 16 and if you ara a little dull or know nothing about exposure, it even has wheater and distance markings for help.
Believe it or not, I really learned a few things on exposure using mine, and I would recommend it to ANY newbie wanting to learn how to use a manual camera. And, if you are so desperate for accurate focussing (not really necessary with a f4 lens), you even have a dedicated accessory uncoupled rangefinder that, yes, it will interfere with the shooting button, but on the bright side, it will look great on you camera porns.
Aside from that, it's one of the few cameras that doesn't owe its design to the west. Poor western manufacturer if he had to sell cameras like that in a market economy.
All in all, I love this little beasty.
An iconic mechanical SLR that is basically a Spotmatic SP 1000 with a K-Mount attached, a quintessential student camera. Mine is currently awaiting it's turn to be sent away for a CLA.
