I have been negligent in updating the photoblog, call it busy with life. Here are some shots I took last Chirstmas with my Nikkormat Ftn with nikkor 50/1.4, I was using Delta 400 from Ilford. I really like the Christmas tree lot shot with the "Real Trees for Real People" sign. I am going to be busy until the 19th of December so hang tight for the next update.

Driving North on a Thursday

Image
I cannot stand driving up the 400/11 and if I can avoid it, I will. That's a good thing because 35 is way more photogenic though, that still means I have to cross Toronto on the 401 before going north. The journey really begins when I leave Cannington and Durham region for the Kawarthas and point my car north on Highway 35.

Fuji Neopan Acros 100, while I shot that film in medium format, I haven't touched it in years in 35mm, I forgot how creamy this film was. What a shame Fujifilm killed this film off but, I think Rollei RPX 100 will be a decent substitute for most situations where you want a medium speed black and white.


Camera: Olympus OM-2n, Zuiko MC 50 f1.8 lens.

Uxbridge Ontario Thursday September 27

Image
I was on my way somewhere, up north. I always pass through Uxbridge. It feels like my real starting point in my journey, the mess that's the QEW/Gardiner Expressway/Don Valley Parkway is the temporary purgatory.

Of course, when I roll through Uxbridge I love photographing the York Durham Heritage Railway and wander around downtown for a bit.

Well just to warn you, there will be a bunch of image heavy post for the next few weeks. Sit back, pour a cup of coffee, your favourite beer, or glass of wine and enjoy the photographs.

Wandering, Friday September 28, Part Two

Image
Considering how gloomy the day turned out on Friday, Kodak Portra 400 delivered. The one bonus is I didn't need to use a neutral density filter in the woods photographing the rapids.

We were pretty close to the western edge of Algonquin Park, not the busy Highway 60 entrance but a back road access point.
