Updated pinned post/blog intro/whatever!

Hello! Welcome and I hope you enjoy your stay! Im an amateur photographer located in Canada. Keep reading for more abt the photography or if you want more info on using the pictures you see here if thats why you're here :)

Most of my photography is nature themed, since I live in a pretty rural place and that's just what im surrounded by. Sometimes you'll see the odd picture from when I travel but those can be few and far between. I try and upload once a week at minimum, but I'm always so excited to share my art with the world so they'll probably be more frequent than that (yes I consider it art, come at me). If for whatever reason you feel that I'm stealing or otherwise failing to credit whoever's work it is I post, please get in touch so I can fix it.

Tags:

Things I repost/reblog that are my own, I tag with #repost, things I reblog from others will be tagged #reblog. Announcements/updates for this blog will be tagged #updates.

What equipment do I use?

I take most of my pictures on my old Asahi Pentax Spotmatic SPII, although sometimes I take them using my phone camera. Its a film camera, and since film can be pretty expensive, there might be a pretty large gap in between posts sometimes. might not be the best quality since I’m doing this all from my shitty phone so sorry if the resolution is kinda garbage since I have to download the film prints to post them

What I ask if you want to use my photography:

Idk what you'd use them for, but this is here for if you do. I'm pretty chill when it comes to what my content gets used for. My rule is that you have to dm me if you want to/are going to use any of my photography for anything. I don't demand much, but on a case by case basis I may ask for things ranging from credit for the picture or a very small fee. Its not like, a business or anything, but I'd like to be able to maintain at least some level of control over what gets done w my content. Thanks :)

Organic and mechanic

Last year, there were some occasions when I've spend way too much time in the office, but at least, I took the opportunity to take a walk through the city, emptied by the summer weather. Here, I've found a contrast, nice-looking tree next to the straight imperative of some industrial-grade exhaust pipe, or climate system.

Taken with my ancient Asahi Pentax Spotmatic SP, equally ancient Focal MC 28mm F2.8 wide-angle lens, on a custom, short roll of Agfa APX 400 film. Developed in Adox Adonal, 1+50 dilution, at 21°C. Scanned with my standard, Plustek OpticFilm 8100 film scanner, using VueScan 9.5.

I haven't been using this camera for quite some time, it was sitting on a shelf for almost a decade, and yet, it works like a charm, without a hiccup. The light meter is way off, though, so I used my phone for metering, obviously successfully. The lens didn't sit as long, but regardless, it's one of the less-used lenses I own.

I actually have so so many pictures from last summer and I’m too impulsive to just wait to post them. These were both taken with my Asahi Pentax Spotmatic SPII
