I didn’t go to Canada to shoot landscapes, my project is documentary based, but when in Rome…
I took a Canon EOS 5D mkII to The North West Territories of Canada with me. I shot the entire project on film, but I took the Canon, filled with good intentions of getting loads of video footage. That never happened, I was just to busy. I did manage to get a few shots of the Aurora Borealis though, 8 shots to be exact.
These shots are straight out of the camera. I think it would be possible to enhance them, but it doesn’t seem right. This is how they look to me. I did get an even better display than these a couple of nights before, but I’m ashamed to say I didn’t have a suitable camera with me…
I shot 116 rolls of film, mostly Fuji Pro 400H, over a period of 3 weeks. The film is now somewhere between London Victoria, where I posted it yesterday, and Sheffield, where it’s being processed by Peak Imaging.
- …bagged-up and ready to go.

Those shots need no enhancing at all — especially the second one, it’s fantastic.
Really looking forward to seeing the results of the trip.

Welcome home Phil. You should have said you were in the Victoria area as that’s where I am based – coffee would have been on me! Really looking forward to seeing your images when blogged – and thanks once again for inspiring me to get into film!

Damn it! We went to that ‘Old English Pub’ opposite the station – poor service, mediocre food.
Would have been good to meet-up. I’m in London in a few weeks though, maybe catch-up for an ale?
