Moody Symphony - Tofino

Victoria watches the waves, Nikon FE, Nikkor 20mm lens, Rollei Superpan 200, Circular Polarizing Filter

It’s not often you hear someone say, “I hope there’s a storm”, when planning a weekend to the coast, but then Tofino, British Columbia isn’t your typical beach destination. Tucked into the edge of a temperate rain-forest on the far Western shore of Vancouver Island, its sprawling beaches meet tall evergreens as surfers delight in waves that approach unfettered from the Pacific Ocean. Sure, it’s lovely in the sunshine, but the Pacific Northwest is at it’s best when mother nature throws some energy at it, stirring up the sky and sea into a moody symphony. To capture that mood, I chose Rollei Superpan 200 (perhaps my favorite black & white film) and my trusty Nikon FE. Can you hear the wind and the waves?
