Street Fest Part of Beaches Jazz Fest Toronto Camera Club Photo Walk.

Street Fest part of the month long Beaches Jazz Festival is an amazing opportunity for street photography, granted a few things to consider, eat dinner early because every patio along Queen Street East was slammed with patrons.  We started at Queen and Woodbine with Samba Squad and the group split up around Ivan Forest Gardens due to the crowds and the heat as the city was under a head advisory for the month. I finished the roll and double back to Woodbine along the lake to catch the bus home. 

Camera: Nikon F100, Nikon AFS 50 F1.8 G Lens. 

Film: Ilford HP5 400 pushed to 1600, Ilfotec HC 1+15.

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...

A Warm July Downtown

Image
 Shot over the course of a few trips to Graination Lab, I was using my Nikon SP rangefinder to photograph up Spadina and later, along Queen St. From University, westward.  This time out, instead of using a handheld meter, I rolled with one of my Doomo clip on light meters, and it did the job nicely. Eastman Double X helps courtesy the wide latitude,  Since Kodak clamped down on the re-spooling scene, sources of Double X are getting thinner on the ground. Flic Film and Cinestill sell Double X and highly recommend both businesses.  Eastman Double X is a contrasty film and there's some grain in Ilfotec HC 1+49 but I like that bit of grit for the subject matter.  Camera: Nikon SP, Nikkor S 50 F1.4 lén.  Film: Eastman Double X, Ilfotec HC 1+49.

The New Addition to the Fleet, the NIkon FM2T

Image
 I didn't need a NIkon FM2T but I got one. I already have both a chrome and black Nikon FM2N bodies but being not only an analogue photographer I'm also a Nikon collector. Ok, the FM3a's are getting a little out of hand in the used market. As you have read over the past few months I've been on a gear acquisition tear this is more a prize. James over at Casual Photophile wrote a great pieec back in 2019 on the camera , and pretty much shares what I think, yeah, you don't really need this camera but if you're a Nikon collector you want one. The FM2T was only made from 1993 to 1997 and is a rare beast in the grand scheme of things compared to the FM2n which was made from 1989 to 2001. What the FM2T is a lighter and tougher version of the FM2N. with a titanium outer housing, like a regular FM2n it feels great in my hand. This particular example was spot on with the meter and did not take one bad photo at all.  Film wise I ran with Ilford Delta 100, I'm just tryi...
