This Walk Looks Familiar Part One

Image
I took inspriation from a Toronto Photo Walks route from early July, tinkered with the route a bit and put together the August photo walk for the Toronto Film Shooters, of course Southern Ontario along with the rest of Eastern Canada felt like a pizza oven at full blast in early August.  This time around I shot with Kentmere 200 at box speed through my F4. Of course with matrix metering, there's not one bad exposure on the roll. This is a no nonense film to shoot with that delivers a consistent result that's more contrasty than Kentmere 400.  Camera: Nikon F4, Voigtlander 40 f2 Ultron SL II lens.  Film: Kentmere 200, Ilfotec HC 1+31.

I'm photographing the former York Durham Heritage Railway while I can, the rolling stock and locomotives have been sold. There will be a mechanical restoration to get them ready for transport to their new home.  Adox HR-50 loves bright sunshine, or, at least sunshine filtered though wildfire smoke. I don't see the point of expreimenting with developers, FX-39 works fabulous with this film. I should try HR-50 with waterfalls and see what I can get. One thing I love about this film is how easy it is to shoot with. I struggled with Ferrania P30 and I was never quite happy with Ilford Pan F 50.  Now coupled with my mid 1980s vintage made in Midland 50 F2 Summicron lens, I get even more of a sweet spot with HR-50, the game plan going forward is try it with other cameras, maybe my F4.  Camera: Leica M6 Classic, 50 F2 Summicron Lens (Midland).  Film: Adox HR-50, Adox FX-39 1+9.  ...
