Photographing Oakville
I have always found shooting close to home difficult, being a long time Oakville resident I get jaded with the local scenery. This Summer I decided to shoot close to home and hopefully see something a little different in my own backyard. The other thing I wanted to do is start a hashtag #lifeinthe905 just to see if I can get some traction with it in various networks and channels with other photographers outside the city in the GTA.
Now, the gear, I used an Asahi Pentax SV, it is a mechanical 35 mm SLR made from about 1962 to about 1968. It is a marvel of mechanical engineering and design. I own two them, the black one below and a chrome version. They are pretty cheap online film shooters looking for a zen experience love them, either you use a hand held meter, the clip-on version if it works or roll with the "Sunny 16" rule. For film I used Kentmere 100 which is a budget black and white emulsion that when processed in D76 looks fabulous.
Camera: Asahi Pentax SV (the chrome one), Super Takumar 50 f1.4 lens, Super Takumar 135 f3.5 lens.
Film: Kentmere 100, D76 1+1.
