The Toronto Film Shooters December Photo Walk Part Two

Image
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. 

Toronto Film Shooters December Photo Walk Part One.

 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.
