A walk Up to Yonge Bvld and Back.

Image
 Jo-Anne and I walked up Yonge Street to Yonge Bvld and back a month ago. It was an odd spring this year, things looked promising until the back half of May and early June, the weather was a lot more "April", lots of rain and cool weather. The day after, things cleared up and warmed up, and my allergies hit like a ton of bricks, thank you tree and grass pollen.  Been a while since I shot with my Canon fleet, pulled out my Canon F-1AE and loaded it Kodak Tri-X, the results as usual are beautiful but prone to cupping after development. Well, I found out that's not the case with Rollei Supergrain developer, then the film dries flat. Good to know, and another reason why I've fallen with this particular developer.  Camera: Canon New F-1AE, FDn 50 F1.4 lens.  Film: Kodak Tri-X 400, Rollei Supergrain 1+15.

TFS May Photo Walk in the Junction, The Other Side of the Tracks....

Image
  The Junction is always a fun spot for a photo walk and Ryan Ruskey, member of the Toronto Film Shooters took the reigns for the month of May, it's his part of Toronto and better to have someone who lives close by to put the route together.  Lighting could have been better thank you goes to the dismal May weather.  I chose well with Rollei RPX 400 through my Leica M4-2, now with the Light Lens Lab Elcan 50 f2 lens, I can squint and pretend I'm shooting with the super rare KE-7 kit the US Defence Department ordered from Leica Canada in the early 1970s.  Camera: Leica M4-2, Light Lens Lab Elcan 50 F2 lens.  Film: Rollei RPX 400, Rollei Supergrain 1+15.
