The July Toronto Film Shooters Photo Walk, From the Rooster to Jones Ave.

Image
 The July photo walk was east end focused starting at the Rooster Coffee House on Broadview. I love this location because one, great coffee and baked goods, and across the street on Broadview, one of hte best views of the Toronto skyline.  I love Pro Image 100, on a sunny day it proves you don't need Kodak Ektar 100 for great colour. The camera of choice was one of my Nikon F3/T's  and AIS Nikkor lenses. The F3's are workhorse cameras in my Nikon collection along with the predecessor F2.  Camera: Nikon F3/T, Nikkor AIS lenses.  Film: Kodak Pro Image 100, processed by Graination. 

July Sunday Afternoon in the Annex

Image
  I stared this roll a sunny Sunday July afternoon down in the Annex, met up with Jo-Anne for dinner at the Victory Cafe. I finished the roll two days later along Dupont/Davenport one part of town I don't shoot much. One shot I really wanted was of the Avenue Road Diner, it's one of those older Yorkville spots that might not be long for this world with the pace of redevelopment being what it is.  The camera choice was one of my Nikon F2SB's the best pre Ai Nikkor body, rolled with K series Pre Ai 50 F1.4 and 28 F2.8 along with Ilford FP4 125, the timeless classic.  Sometimes I wonder why I pack my 105 F2.5 Nikkor P.C. lens, but then, you just never know.  Camera: Nikon F2SB, Nikkor Pre Ai Lenses.  Film: Ilford FP4 125, Ilfotec HC 1+31.
