Off to St. Jacobs.

 Ever have one of those weekends where you get a big scare only to have things turn out well in the end? Jo-Anne had that weekend when we day tripped up to St. Jacobs on a warm and muggy August Saturday. We parked in the north end of town and went for coffee. Jo-Anne realized her wallet wasn't in her camera bag/purse. She went back to my car, nope, didn't fall out inside the car. Jo-Anne thought she might have left the wallet at my place, no, it wasn't there. The wallet indeed fell out, but onto the ground under my car.  A good samartian noticed it, took the wallet with him and called Jo-Anne and we stopped by his place in Kitchener on the way home and got her wallet back. 

Jo-Anne was on edge all day and understandably so. I remember driving to the gym once only to realize once I got there, I left my wallet at home, I know that feeling too well. Don't want to repeat it thank you. All that said it was a nice if muggy day in St. Jacobs. 


Camera: Olympus OM-1md, Zuiko lenses. 

Film: Ilford Delta 100, Ilfotec HC 1+31.

Rollei 35, Rollei RPX 100 on the October Photo Walk

Image
 I got all three of my Rollei 35's serviced recently by @lensmedicyyc and packed the one with the 40 F3.5 Zeiss Tessar lens which is magical for black and white films. I went meta with Rollei RPX 100, because, why not?  The Rollei 35 to recap is a very compact zone focus camera, first made in Germany, then production in Singapore in the early 1970s. They came with the 40 f3.5 Zeiss Tessar lens wich as mentioend above great for black and white film, the 40 F2.8 which has always been made in Singapore, made for colour film and a limited production of Schneider Xenar 40 F3.5 lens in the early 1970s.  The camera due to its design is ass backwards with loading from right to left which makes scanning the negatives a treat as you have to start at the end of the roll and go to the beginning. Zone focusing takes some practice but it's not hard to get the hang, just make sure you check to see the measurement is in feet or metres, that will matter, a lot.  That said, I love my Rollei 35&#

Second Roll of Aerocolor IV (Flic Film Elektra 100)

Image
 I bought a bunch of Flic Film Elektra 100 after shooting a roll of Santa Color 100 late last fall down in Niagara on the Lake  with my good Canon New F-1. I packed a two rolls gifting one roll to my brother Alex before heading south on vacation for a week. This time around my second adventure of Kodak Aero Color IV at a different time of the year.  Again, I shot at "box speed" at 100 ISO only this time through my Nikon F3/T. This time I loved the results even more, not just because it went through a different camera system. I think back late last November there was more infrared light in the spectrum due the time of year thus influencing the colour cast of the Aero Color 1V. Shooting the second roll in late March gave me a lot more the look I adored. Due to the polyester base Aero Color IV is easy to scan, you can almost colour correct during the scanning process, reducing your work flow a bit at the other end in Lightroom. Again being a polyester base, you want to load thi

The Trip Back Down HIghway 35 from Dwight to Minden.

Image
 Alright, this isn't the last of my NLP 2023 set of photos, I have two rolls of slide film out being processed and they are a tad late. They are going to get scanned eventually.  I rolled with the Nikon FM2/T on the trip home and to be honest, it just delivered with Kodak Portra 160, I've fallen in love with this emulsion, hard. I do plan to buy more next year, just as I'm going to buy more motion picture stock Ektachrome 100.  Camera: Nikon FM2/T, Nikkor AIS lenses.  Film: Kodak Portra 160
