A Really Hot Canada Day in Brock Township

Image
 It was a stinky hot Canada Day, Jo-Anne was up in North Bay visiting family so I did a solo day trip up to Beaverton and Cannington, Saner heads would have just hung out at home and blast the air condidtioning. I wnet up first thing and I'm glad I did, the smart thing, changed lenses sparingly so rear lens elements didn't fog.  The heat as bad as in on my way home I wanted to stop by Second Wedge Breweing to grab some beer and some Foundry Pi Pizza, only the brewery was open and doing great business, No pizza, the cooks were sent home because it was too hot in their container with the pizza oven.  I chose the Minolta XE-7 and Ilford FP4 125 as the camera and film, I still stand by my position both this and the XD series of cameras were Minolta's high point for manual focus cameras. I'm happy to be shooting my Minoltas again.  Camera: Minolta XE-7, MC Rokkor 50 F1.4 Lens. Minolta MD 75-150 F4 Zoom Lens.  Film: Ilford FP4 125, Ilfotec HC 1+31.  ...

A Walk Down to the Don Valley Brickworks

Image
 I went for a walk on a Wednesday over a month ago from my place, down Mount Pleasant Road to Moore Park, eventually winding up at the Don Valley Brickworks by way of the Beltline Trail along Mud Creek.  The gear choice was kept simple, a Canon 7s Rangefinder, Canon 50 F1.4 aka, the Japanese Summilux Leica thread mount lens and Ilford FP4 125, a great trifecta. The walk down to the Brickworks was before the heat waves and wildfire smoke advisories, perfect Summer weather.  Camera: Canon 7s, Canon 50 F1.4 LTM (the Japanese Summilux) Lens.  Film: Ilford FP4 125, Ilfotec HC 1+31.
