I paid another visit to Maclean's Auto Wreckers a few weeks back with the Oakville Camera Club, it was a hot day and we had to deal with mosquitos to deal with. That aside,  this location never gets tired for me. I was here back in November with Toronto Photowalks and killed a few rolls of medium format film. This time out I used one roll of colour roll and one black and white. Camera: Nikon F2S, Nikkor S 50 f1.4, Macro Nikkor 55 f3.5 Macro, and Ais 28 f2.8 lenses. Film: Kodak Ektar 100

Shooting at Maclean's Auto Wreckers for the first time was overwhelming at first. Most of the cars, trucks and school buses were from the late 1970s to the 1990s. Now tucked away in one corner of the property is a section of cars and trucks from the 1950s and '60s. I wound up shooting automotive portraits and capturing parts of a vehicle. Seeing a few old VW Beetles scattered over the property was sad as well as '70s vintage Jaguar XJ6 sedan, elegant car, fiendishly unreliable. Maclean's has an auto crusher but it looks like it hasn't been used in years, my guess the cashflow is from car parts and truck repair. It is an interesting place to go photographing amongst the wrecks. I would love to go back in the spring when the light is different. Camera: Mamiya C220f, Sekor 80 f2.8 lens. Film: Ilford HP5 400, Kodak Portra 400

So I got an opportunity a few weeks ago to wander around an auto graveyard just south of Rockwood in Northern Halton Region.... Camera: Mamiya C220f twin lens reflex camera, Sekor 80 f2.8 lens. Film: Kodak Portra 400, Ilford FP4 125 processed in HC110 B.
