April Toronto film Shooters Photo Walk, From St. Clair and Bathurst to Summerhill

 

The April photo walk was on a day calling for rain, yet at the same time, temperatures were quite mild, we wound up having lunch on the patio of The Rebel House, and the skies only started to open up when we settled our bills. The route had not been done before I wanted to traverse Casa Loma neighbourhood and work our way down to the end point on Yonge Street near the Rosedale Subway Station. 

I wound up choosing one of my Nikon F's, a black Photomic FTN, kinda like taking out a Porsche 356 C Carrera for a spin. Usually if I want grab and old Nikon body for a spin, I usually grab one of my F2's  I'm happy with the results and I should shoot with my eye level prism F's more often, I am trusting the meter less on my Photomic variants. 

Filmwise, I went with a classic, Kodak Tri-X, however, I rolled with 510 Pyro, hind sight I should have rolled with Ilfotec HC for snappier negatives. So it goes. I plan to re-do the walk on a later date with another group. We'll see. 

Camera: Nikon F Photomic FTN, Nikkor Pre Ai lenses. 

Film: Kodak Tri-X 400, 510 Pyro 1+100.
