Downtown Toronto After the Great Snowstorm.

I had to go to Downtown Camera to get some passport photos done, yup, that time in the decade cycle to get the passsport renewed. The Downtown Core was hit hard from the snow storm of a few weeks ago and as of this blog post, they are still removing snow even though we've had a mild spell. In these photos it's still winter with a capitol W. 

Shooting in winter, to get the snow right you need to overexpose, with the Olympus OM-1md meter it's pretty easy, aim the needle upward but not too far out of range, or meter anything but snow, the buildings in the scene work just nightly. The Olympus OM controls aren't everyone's cup of tea, but during the winter with photographer's winter gloves, shooting with this camera is pretty easy. 

Camera: Olympus OM-1md, Zuiko Lenses. 

Film: Kodak Tri-X 400, Ilfotec HC 1+31.
