Chirstmas Holidays in the Beaches.

Image
 Jo-Anne was up north visiting family in North Bay and I got called up for house and dog sitting duty in the Beaches over the Christmas Holidays. I took both my Leicaflex SL and 50th anniversary SL2 along with a 2 cam 35 F2.8 Elmarit lens (great glass I got for a steal, wish it was 3cam), 50 F2 Summicron and a two cam 135 F2.8 Tele Elmarit.  It was a green Christmas but followed by snow storm on Boxing Day, my brother and his family managed to fly out before Pearson International grounded flights. I drove down to the Beaches from Midtown Toronto and I couldn't see the other side of the Don Valley from the Millwood Bridge. You're wondering, where's the snow in your photos? Well, following day there was rain, lots of it. I shot all of three rolls in the Beaches. The Weather was pretty gloomy overall. In the end I caught up with a lot of reading, and walking Maya, my brotther's dog.  Camera: Leicaflex SL, 2 Cam R 50 F2 lens.  Film: Ilford HP5 500, 510 Pyro 1+100.  ...

Yup, I shoulda tried the Kodacolor 100. I find scanning colour film with Silverfast a process of continuing learning, sometimes I'm off and sometimes, I'm on the nose. On the last batch of frames from  Mount Pleasant and Manor Road and points north, I tried the Kodak Black and White setting in Silverfast and the colours went neutral, figure that one out. I love Silverfast as an interface but there is still a learning curve.  Camera: Nikon F5, Nikon AF-D 35-70 F2.8 Zoom Lens.  Film: Kodak Ultramax 400.
