A Sunny Saturday in April

 

Talk about a bright Saturday, we had some errands to run around Summerhill and Deer Park (grabbing some wine from the LCBO and some birthday presents from Book City), it was a nice day for shooting if on the cool side. I was just happy to see the sun. While it wasn't the coldest winter on record, it was the gloomiest. I can live with blue skies without any little fluffy clouds to break things up. Again, I was shooting with Kentmere 400, only this time with my chrome Nikon F2AS, one brilliant 1970s vintage pro body SLR Not one bad exposure. 

We worked our way back up Yonge St. to Yonge and Eglington for the afternoon to prep dinner. It was just a beautiful sunny Saturday, and we'll take it. 

Again, I've been reading how people are having trouble getting decent shots out of Kentmere 400, this film needs a yellow filter in 35mm and I have not had the opportunity to shoot in 120. 


Camera: Nikon F2AS, Nikkor AIS lenses. 

Film: Kentmre 400, 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
