Late February Part Two
This winter is an odd one, at least we got winter. From friends in Europe, they didn't get winter in spots, one friend in Belgium told the temperature in her town, Burges was +9c, meanwhile in Toronto it's -9c and didn't get any snow, she misses Canada and four definite seasons. By the time you see this posted it will be mid March, and it could either have 30cm of snow on the ground or be +12c and feel like early May.
I treasured this ski season even though it was a real up and down with temperatures, skiing gets me through the winter and Caledon Ski Club is my happy place. Wandering around Caledon west of Highway 10 before and after skiing photographing the landscape gets me in to a calm frame of mind after a busy week. One thing, I love shooting with my Nikkormats, they are simple tanks of a camera, they came about because the Nikon F and later the F2 were the equivelent of the D850 and had a massive lens line up. A prosumer body helped the bottom line getting more people hooked on the lens system. If you run out of film, you can use it as a defensive weapon. Nikkormats are great cameras if you are on a budget and want to shoot with Nikkor glass, big bonus the cameras work well in cold weather.
Camera: Nikkormat FTn, Nikkor H 50 f2 lens. Nikkor N 24 F2.8 lens.
Film: llford Delta 100, HC110 B.
