 Love Roncesvalles Village, this was one of the neighbourhoods in Toronto, it has a vibrant main street vibe filled with indie retailers and has been relatively untouched by the relentless highrise redevelopment push other parts of town have been facing. I wanted to buy a couple of bags of Blackbird Roast from Cherry Bomb coffee and make my up to meeat Jo-Anne after her hairdresser appointment.  I rolled with one camera and one lens, the Nikon F90X and Nikon AF-D 35 F2 lens along with Fuji Superia 400 that expired two years ago but still holding up nicely. It was early December and we didn't get any snow until Boxing Day (another story altogether), however the grey skies started settling in.  Camera: Nikon F90X, Nikon AF-D 35 F2 lens.  Film: Fuji Superia 400. 

  Went out again with one camera, one lens, and a light meter around the neighbourhood. September put me in a mood for fall but Summer didn't want to quit, no sir. I haven't shot with my Canon 7s and with the Japanese Summilux their 50 F1.4 lens in Leica thread mount, a lens with history in a while. It's refreshing to shoot only with one camera and lens, reduces decision making and forces you to compose the shot better.   I also want to shoot through my stash of Fuji Superia Extra 400, while not terribly expired, better shoot through it sooner than later. From the results of this roll, had to do some colour correction in Lightroom to make some photos look decent. The other variable is light, I shot the roll over the course of a month (later September to mid to late October) on the overcast days needed more love.  Camera: Canon 7S, Canon LTM 50 F1.4 (aka the Japanese Summilux).  Film: Fuji Superia 400, recently expired.  ...
