Beautiful colours in that sky.
Taken just near yesterdays picture, in fact, if you look closely at yesterdays, you can see this seat on the side of the dirt track.
Taken after the sun has gone down and not as beautiful as yesterdays. Even though it doesn't have the lines or colours of that shot, I still like it, in an oddball kinda way.

There are over 300,000 northern gannets in this unique national park in Québec. They nest in a dense colony near the cliffs, occupying only a portion of a small island. The colony is growing rapidly, and from the observation area (just a meter away from the nesting grounds), it looks like the entire landscape is covered by these birds, both on land and in the air.

Thinking of shooting some B&W film on an upcoming trip . Resurrected my Eos 1 and have been taking a few rolls to get back into the hang of using film again.

EOS 1 , 28-105 3.5-4.5@f8 ,orange 16 filter , TMax 100
Do you get a lot of fly tippers round your way? Nice shot, but I prefer the colours of yesterday more.
Trying to shoot more and more now!
A picture of my friend Katherine sitting on my bed! Slightly missed the focus on this one but I only took the shot to show her I could do B&W in camera and how nice the light looked! An extra 5 mins and I could have done much better...
As always, comments appreciated.

Logged over 10,000 kms on the drive from home to Newfoundland and back and that didn't include over 20 hours on the ferries.
This one is on the Cabot Trail (Cape Breton, Nova Scotia) on route to Newfoundland.

Shot 3 rolls of 120 HP5 when I was away in France and really enjoyed the whole process.
I have to say though that will the power of my 6D I'm not sure if I would do it if it wasn't medium format size.
What's given you the urge to dive back into film?

Ace, you have captured a lovely and emotive picture of Katherine here, the soft focus adds all the more to her beautiful femininity.

Several things , actually . Stumbling across some prints I did in college in the late '60's , catching the Bill Brandt exhibit at NY MOMA and the Civil War photography one at the Met , finding some books of pretty pictures by Ansel Adams , Edward Weston , and HCB in one of the local libraries , and being curious about the viability of several rolls of long expired B&W in my fridge ;along with an upcoming trip that will include a few days in and around Yosemite (hopefully the fires will be dealt with by the time I'm there , really don't need any more scenery to be pre black and whitened ). It's still pretty questionable as to whether I'm going to bring a film body and a couple of rolls , especially given the ease of B&W conversion of digital . Pretty sure there's no advantage shooting 35mm. film vs. full-frame digital from a technical viewpoint ,so if I do , it would be purely for entertainment purposes. Probably be an easier call if my film gear was 645 though.
Lovely photo Ace. I can't put it any better than ijohn!
