Toronto During the Grey Season

The grey season in Toronto can really tax people's pysches. The grey season lasts sort of from mid November to the end of April and covers fall, winter and spring. The grey season refers to the polished concrete skies and less so to temperature and precipatation.

For a film photographer, the only solution is to push a 400 ISO black and white film to 1600 and work with what you have. In this case Ultrafine Extreme 400 delivers in spades. I used a nine minutes at 20c with HC110 in dilution B developer, and it delivered. I really love what I get with pushed UFX 400 and Ilford HP5 400, both films look beautiful at 1600, and the big bonus, it dries flat, which is great for scanning.


Camera: Nikon FM, Nikkor Ais 50 f1.8 lens.
Film: Ulrafine Extreme 400 pushed to 1600, HC110 B.
