Bill Smith's Photography

I really have to take my Leica M4-2 on more adventures outside the city. The annual No Light Pollution photography retreat came up quick this year. with one major difference, I was starting in Toronto, not in Oakville and I didn't have to get quite so early this time around. We drove up to the Shortis/s/ Cafe in Beaverton for breakast before hitting Highway 35. Fall colours this year as bit of a bust, we were a few weeks early and honestly, it felt like late August. That said, not one drop of rain and we got lots of sun.  This year I packed my Lcica M4-2 and a couple of lenses for the drive up and back and a Nikon F100 for the hikes where more versitle lenses were required. I will say this again Kodak Pro Image 100 is a great film I love the results I got on the drive up.  I had to do very little work in Lightroom, pretty much just cropping pretty much.  To re-cap, Light Lens Labs lenses love colour film. and I have to shoot more with my M4-2 outside the city.  Camer...

I've changed my mind with Kodak Pro Image 100, I'm really liking this film. Ektar 100 has got rather expensive during Covid Times and this is a great budget alternative. Originally pitched for markets outside of North America, the EU and Asia where refridgeration can get a little dodgy, Pro Image 100 can be stored at room temperature.  The last time I shot with this film was through my Minolta XE-7 and my scanning skills have improved exponentially since then. I should pull my Minolta gear out and try this combo again. We'll see.  Camera: Nikon FM3a, Nikkor AIS lenses.  Film: Kodak Pro Image 100, processed by Graination Lab.
