The March Toronto Film Shooters Photo Walks Part Two.

Image
 From here, we're in the heart of University of Toronto's St. George Campus and made our way through the north end ot Queen's Park and wound up in the Bay Cloverhill, just south of Yorkville.  I'm intrigued with a certain part of downtown Toronto, south of Bloor St., West of Yonge and East of Queen's Park Circle and University of Toronto. It's a small pocket that's too tight for re-development. The end point for the photo walk was the neighbourhood microbrewery Bar Volo on St. Nicholas Street. It's a blink and you will miss it establishment, local beer heads know about this long running establishment and it's a local gem with great beer and a tight and very yummy menu.  Camera: Leica R6, Leica 3 Cam 50 F2 Summicron, 28 F2.8 Elmarit Lens.  Film: Rollei RPX 400, Rollei Supergrain 1+15.

The March Toronto Film Shooters Photo Walk Part One

Image
 The March photo walk had a decent turn out, the route is simple, we started at Graination Lab, made our way north along Spadina to Willocks. We then went east into the heart of University of Toronto St. George campus.  I chose the Leica R6 and ran with the three lens kit. The 90 F2.8 Elmarit lens didn't really get used, I ran with the 50 F2 Summicron and the 28 F2.8 Elmarit. I was also in a black and white mood and found Rollei RPX 400 perfect for the walk, it worked great from the Riverside to Corktown back to Riverside walk two weeks before.  With the R6 I mostly metered with their Full Field Integral Mode, sort of Leica's answer to Nikon Matrix Metering. I'm leveraging this on overcast days when the light is less contrasty. On sunny days, I prefer the spot metering for a more accurate reading.  Camera: Leica R6, Leica 3 50 F2 Summicron, 28 F2.8 Elmarit Lenses.  Film: Rollei RPX 400, Rollei Supergrain 1+15.  ...
