The Wednesday Gang's Bellwoods Wander Part Two, Up To Dundas

Image
  This was one of those days, where a film would make sense at the beginning of a photo walk but doesn't near the end. I ran with Kodak Tri-X because the weather forecast was calling for more cloud than sun but in the end we got way more sun than cloud.  Ilford's FP4, Rollei RPX 100 or Adox CHS 100 II would have made a lot more sense, 20/20 hindsight I guess. I did have some challenging spots in the walk where Tri-x Made sense, deep in the shade.  It's been a minute since I last shot with my Canon F-1n, every camera has almost a personality.

Wednesday Gang's Wander Around Bellwoods Part One

Image
We had a great walk just east of Trinity Bellwoods Park one June Wednesday morning. We met up at the Queen St. West location of Nadege Patisserie, nice enough spot but I prefer Cafe 23 a block east, they have better coffee. I chose my Canon F-1n from the late 1970s along with a the chrome nose 35 F2 with the thorium element along with the SSC 24 F2.8 and the SSC 100 F2.8, that honesty, I could have left at home. I mostly used the 35 F2 lens but the 24 F2.8 SSC came in handy in the alleyway.  Camera F-1n, FD Chrome Nose 35 F2 Lens.  Film: Kodak Tri-X 400, Ilfotec HC 1+31.
