September Toronto Film Shooters Photo Walk, Part Two

Image
 Yes I can spell September properly. I am my own worst proof reader and in a title no less.  I'm really pleased with the results I got from Eastman Kodak Ektachrome 100 or Flic Film Chrome which is the banner its sold under. I'm also really fortunate that my local lab just made an investment in another E-6 processing line with all new equipment from Germany. The OM-4Ti is the camera for this film, enough said.  We walked along Queen Street, cut through Trinity Bellwoods Park, made our way over to Shaw, got a great shot of a 1980s exotic car icon the Ferrari 308GTB, the hard top version of Magnum PI's ride. A short walk along Dundas we turned south again onto Ossington Ave ending the walk at Bellwoods Brewery.  Camera: Olympus OM-4Ti, MC Zuiko Lenses.  Film: Flic Film Chrome 100/Eastman Kodak Ektachrome 100 Motion Picture Slide Film.  ...

September Toronto Film Shooters Photo Walk Part One

 Slide film can be frustrating, bungle the exposure and it's a disaster, get it right, you got magic. Well I got magic so far on the September Toronto Film Shooters photo walk from Graination Lab through Graffiti Alley running parallel to to Queen and Richmond Streets.  The Olympus OM-4Ti is the perfect manual focus camera for colour slide photography, the spot metering ability helps a lot along with the a utomatic Centre Weighted metering from -5EV to +19EV @ 100 ISO;f1.4 lens. I'm thinking of rolling with the OM-4Ti for my annual photography retreat next year, because 1) the meter just plain rocks, and 2) the system is going to be a hella lot lighter than a Nikon F4 and set of lenses including a Nikkor 180 F2.8 ED lenses. I loved the OM-4Ti on my trip to Prince Edward County this past August and got perfect exposures every single time.  Camera: Olympus OM-4Ti, MC Zuiko Lenses, Film: Flic Film Chrome 100/Kodak Ektachrome 100 Slide Film.  ...
