Toronto Film Shooters December Photo Walk Part One.

Image
 I've put on a variation of this photo walk on in the past with the Toronto Film Shooters in December a few years ago in the middle of a snow storm. Today, it was cold, and sunny, the rare December day where there was hardly a cloud in the sky. I regret shooting with Ultramax 400, I should have gone with either Pro Image or Kodacolor 100 instead, well hindsight is 20/20 three months later. Don't let the look fool you, it was like -15c that day.  Now shooting with an F5 is like using cheat codes with aperture priority and really fast autofocus, especially with the AF-D 35-70 F2.8 zoom lens. I just used that lens for the walk, I had a 24 F2.8 AF-D lens in the bag but didn't use it.  Camera: Nikon F5, Nikon AF-D 35-70 F2.8 lens.  Film: Kodak Ultramax 400.

A Saturday before Christmas in the Neighbourhood.

 Haven't shot with Cinestill 400D in ages, with Vision 250D and ECN-2 processing available locally I lean in that direction. Scanning colour film is a continuing learning process, I still haven't figured out a way to cancel the red halation you get with Cinestill 400D, I just treat it as part of the film's character.  What I wanted to do is put my 35-50 F2.8 Nikon AF-D Zoom lens through its paces. I really love the portrait shot of Jo-Anne with her new Tam she had commissioned through David Dunkley Hats. The push-pull action takes some getting used to but a lot of zoom lenses from this era had that.  Camera: Nikon F90X, Nikon AF-D 35-70 F2.8 Zoom Lens.  Film: Cinestill 400D.
