Bill Smith's Photography

  Another wander with a one camera and one lens, in this case the Canon F-1n from the late 1970s and a chrome nose FD mount 35 F2 lens from the early 1970s. The film choice was Eastman Double X, can't remember who spooled this roll up, sadly got scratches on the emulsion, I cloned them out the best I could in Lightroom.  I had know idea when I shot this roll how much change is coming to Yonge and Davisville. The only business left between Davisville and Millwood is going to be Circles and Squares Bakery and Cafe on the Northeast corner of Yonge and Davisville, the rest of the block, going to be flattened soon for a condo re-development. But, wait a sec, the condo market is pretty much dead as doornail in Toronto, is this a project of high rise dog crates left over from pre pandemic times, or is a developer content to torch dump truck loads of money?  Sorry to go on tangent but what's the business case for a condo development to break ground between Millwood and Davisville...

The second roll from Uxbridge and Goodwood, scanned nicer with the latest Vuescan update, still don't like it and not looking forward to scanning colour which will happen at some point soon. In the end first world problems. Ninety five times out of a hundred, Vuescan knocks it out of the ballpark, five percent of the time, I start kicking tires on Silverfast only to realize I like Vuescan's UX so much better.  I did get some great photos of Goodwood aka Schitt's Creek on the way back to Toronto.  Camera: Nikon F2SB, Nikkor Pre Ai lenses.  Film: Eastman Double X, Ilfotec HC 1+49
