Ottawa couple's 'Lake Ontario' hats selling like hotcakes after Trump's executive order | CBC Radio
Before the ink had even dried on U.S. President Donald Trump's executive order to rename Lake Ontario, a Canadian company was already selling hats with the Great Lake's true name emblazoned on it.

Took me a while to expose my second roll of #kikipan320. I was loading it into my Nikon FE when the film advance locked up. Off for repair it went. 3 months later, the camera is back. Here are a few from that same roll, developed in HC 110 1+47 for 10 min. at 20ºC. 105mm f2.5 Ai-S lens.

A few more from my first roll of Kiki Pan 320. I used a yellow filter, which moved the factory original lens hood far enough forward to cause some vignetting. Pentax Spotmatic F Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 35mm f2.4 Developed in HC 110 1:31 for 8m 45s #kikipan #kikipan320 #believeinfilm
A small shop called Madam Calliope's Metaphysical Varieties. There are chairs and planters with flowers by the entrance, which is under a roof overhang.A wooden notice board attached to a fence. There is a painted cartoon-like dog cutout at the top of the notice board under a pitched roof frame. The dog is looking up towards a dog poop bag dispenser on a fence post.A somewhat dilapidated store called Pier 66 Market & Liquor Store. The area at the front has an uneven path with a planter, mailbox, and a parking sign.

A couple of moss-covered trees in the centre each have bent branches that curve to the left and right. Ferns surround the trees.Rare and protected Garry Oak trees in a preserve. The trees are surrounded by dense underbrush that occupies the bottom half of the photograph.Another photograph of the Garry Oak preserve with more open space in the foreground and mid-ground.

Not much to show from my second roll for #folderweek April '26. I omitted to change the exposure when moving from shade to a brightly lit location. Rookie mistake! Kye Bay, Vancouver Island. Zeiss Ikon Nettar 517/16, Kentmere Pan 200 dev in HC 110 1+31 for 5 min. #believeinfilm #filmphotography
A beach scene at low tide with bands of sand of different tones running diagonally from lower left to centre right. The sand is dotted with sun-bleached oyster shells. In the middle distance is a small band of water with a few boats. On the horizon, there are mountains on the mainland of British Columbia. A cloudy sky occupies the top half of the image. The location is Kye Bay on Vancouver Island.

I have developed one of my films from #worldwidepinholephotographyday, the other one is still in my RSS 6x6f with a few frames left on it. #WPPD ONDU 6x12 Rise multi-format Kentmere Pan 200 HC 110 dilution B (1+31) for 5 min. at 20C Please click on the images to view, particularly the second one.
A black and white photograph made with a pinhole camera. It shows Garry Oak trees and underbrush. The trees are fairly skinny and twisted in silhouette against the sky A black and white photograph made with a pinhole camera. It shows boathouses and some floating homes on either side of a wooden dock. The image is very tall, and the camera was placed just above the dock to give an exaggerated perspective. Most of the clear blue sky appears very dark thanks to a red filter.

Another rainy day in Port Alice here on Vancouver Island.
A black and white photograph of a rainy and misty coastal scene. There is a thin strip of water at the bottom with a jetty extending from the lower right-hand corner, where a group of trees is shown in silhouette. On the opposite side is a steep forested slope extending down to the water. The cloudy sky that merges with mist on the water makes up most of the image.

My last set for October's #folderweek. Saturday was a dry day, so I went to nearby Duncan here on Vancouver Island. This place definitely has its little quirks. Zeiss Ikon Nettar 517/16 and Ilford HP5+ developed in D23. #believeinfilm #filmphotography
A display outside a picture framing shop. There is a wooden easel with a black synthetic fur hanging from it. For some inexplicable reason, there are wooden sticks like skewers in the fur. A couple of tables contain various items, including a large close-up picture of tree branches covered in leaves. Behind all this is a sign that states, We Frame Pictures.A shop by the name of Medi Heady Glass Co. Below a big open sign are the words Glass, Bongs, Pipes, Bowls. An oversized inflatable model of a bong hangs next to the sign from a roof overhang above the adjacent sidewalk.An old upright piano in an alleyway. There is ivy trailing from a wall above and behind the piano. In a gap to the right of the piano is part of a sign with the word DAYS in capital letters. There are leaves from big leaf maple trees on the ground.A very messy space at the back of a rundown building. On the left is an old van. To the right, a sign is leaning against some rickety wooden stairs. The sign advertises the 39 Days of July, which is an annual outdoor music event held yearly in Duncan, BC. There are a couple of vehicle rims and a white chair to add to the clutter.

On my way home from Victoria on the Friday of October's #folderweek, I stopped in Mill Bay to photograph this old wooden church. The rain had stopped, and the sun even made a brief appearance. Zeiss Ikon Nettar 517/16, Ilford HP5+ developed in D23. #believeinfilm #filmphotography
An old white painted wooden church in a large open grassed area. Steps and a ramp lead up to the door at the end nearest the camera. There are trees on either side and behind the church. Leaves from big leaf maple trees litter the ground.A view from the opposite end of the church with a stone-lined path leading from the foreground to the side of the building. There are grave markers in front of the church.A more distant view from the rear of the church, which sits just left of centre in the frame. In the background are a couple of trees and a partial view of a nearby mountain. There are grave markers and crosses in the graveyard by the end, and to the side of the building. Lots of maple leaves litter the ground.

October's #folderweek was a challenge, with mobility issues and lots of rain. I managed two outings with my Nettar 517/16, exposing just one roll of HP5+, dev in D23. On the Friday, I had an appointment in Victoria, so afterwards I went over to Fisherman's Wharf. #believeinfilm #filmphotography
A row of interesting floating homes of all different shapes and sizes that are moored along a wharf. At the left-hand end of the row is a gift shop. This area receives lots of visitors, particularly when the weather is pleasant. In the foreground is a small area of open water with ripples from a duck and the little splashes from raindrops.A view between two floating homes across the gap between adjacent wharves. One of the homes on the other side is a B&B, and next to it is one of the water taxis that operate within Victoria's inner harbour.

This gnarled old tree in the forest has lost most of its bark. The branches are twisted and bent into interesting contortions, and the roots are exposed. The surrounding forest floor is covered in low plants that are covered in leaves.
