Bill Smith's Photography

I shot a fair bit of Kentmere 100 over the past year, and it took me a while to figure this film out. I found the best developer for me is Rodinal 1+50 dilution to make it look fabulous. The best part it's reasonably cheap, and being made by Ilford Photo, you know the quality control will be there. I shot this over the sunny days on March Break in Toronto's Beaches neighbourhood and I never get tired shooting around here. Camera: Canon EF, FD lenses. Film: Kentmere 100, Rodinal 1+50

I was back house and dog sitting in Toronto's Beaches neighbourhood at my brother's place, of course,  I like to do a lot of shooting here because I get never get tired of this part of the city. For some reason, I felt off last week. The film shots are coming, I have no idea what I'm getting because the weather for half the week was awful. That said I got around to exploring the Upper Beaches for a change For now, I have some quickie shots taken on my iPhone of the art installations along the water. Every year students build large sculptures around the lifeguard chairs. Each in some way provokes some thought, especially the one with the discarded plastic water bottles. The installations are up until the end of March, after that they and the storm fences come down as the city preps the beaches for the Summer season. Camera: iPhone SE, native photo app.
