Bill Smith's Photography

I really want to make a couple of prints of the S.S. Bigwin. That boat is synonymous with the Lake of Bays and Dorset. There are couple of print canidates on this roll of film, I'll have to get up to my friend James Lee's darkroom to print them to do it properly. At the moment my abilty to print medium format is sub optimal in my darkroom. Camera: Rolleiflex 3.5 F Planar Twin Lens Reflex Film: Ilford HP5 400, HC110 B.

One of my favourite parts of Ontario. Camera: Olympus OM-2n,  Zuiko lenses. Film, colour: Kodak Portra 160. Black and White: Fuji Neopan Acros 100, Xtol 1+1.

Like I said last post, I only shot one roll of black and white film this year on the Algonquin road trip. I also wanted to shoot some medium format this year too so my new to me Rolleicord Vb came along for the ride. I chose my colour film carefully, Kodak Ektar 100 and Fuji Reala 100 for out in the open shots and Kodak Portra 400 for more sheltered locations and used a 35mm circular polarizer most of the time on my Nikon gear to make the colours pop. I could not believe the stretch of perfect weather we had this past weekend, sunshine and a high of 25c, it contrasts with last year which was cool and wet. You can't ask for nicer weather. Camera: Nikon FE, Nikkor Ais 35 f2, 105 f2.5 lens, B+W Circular Polarizer. Film: Kodak Ektar 100 Square Photos Camera: Rolleicord Vb with a 75 f3.5 Xenar lens, Film: Fuji Reala 100

This was my only black and white roll of film all through my road trip to the Algonquin Highlands this year. As promised last year, I made the trip up Highway 35 again. My only wish is the long weekend road trip north was longer. Camera: Rolleicord Vb, Schneider Xenar 75 f3.5 lens Film: Ilford FP4 125, Xtol 1+1
