Bill Smith's Photography

What I love about Boyne River is how it is just a bit further than other "day hike" parks and conservation areas in Southern Ontario. There are times you need some quiet time in nature and this place fills the bill nicely. Hiking later in the fall can be hit  or miss, so it's always wise to layer. You have a the main loop in the park and the side loop on the west side or Prince of Wales Road. If you are in amazing shape, knock yourself out and do both. Even the main loop for someone in decent shape is a strenuous hike. I would not recommend this to anyone with mobility issues, you'll get into trouble pretty quick. There's no climbing up or down really, just a lot of up and down and uneven terrain. After tackling the park we went down to the Mono Cliffs Inn for a late lunch, by then the rain squalls returned and it was time to pack it in. Cameras: Olympus OM-1n, OM-1md, Zuiko Lenses.

One film I love and don't shoot enough of is Kodak Ektar 100. It's a saturated 100 ISO C-41 colour negative film geared to landscapes and nature, I haven't really tried it in urban settings and my early portraiture attempts were poorly scanned when I was just getting the hang of vuescan. The one bit of advice for film photographers trying Ektar 100 for the first time, treat it like a slide film in terms of exposure, I can be quite finicky and blue skies can go cyan if you're not too careful.
