Bill Smith's Photography

 Alright, this isn't the last of my NLP 2023 set of photos, I have two rolls of slide film out being processed and they are a tad late. They are going to get scanned eventually.  I rolled with the Nikon FM2/T on the trip home and to be honest, it just delivered with Kodak Portra 160, I've fallen in love with this emulsion, hard. I do plan to buy more next year, just as I'm going to buy more motion picture stock Ektachrome 100.  Camera: Nikon FM2/T, Nikkor AIS lenses.  Film: Kodak Portra 160

Welcome to Part two the Oxtongue River set. I shot this on Fuji Superia Extra 400, and it was also around the time my eight year old Epson V600 wore out and was on its last legs. Five hundred dollars later, I was back in business for the last roll I have of NLP 2023 which is the next post.  Camera: Nikon FM2/T, Nikkor AIS lenses.  Film: Fujifilm Superia 400. 

I first visited the Oxtongue Rapids 10 years ago on my first photography retreat with the NLP group. I'm using the same gear sort of as I was a decade ago but with different film stocks this time around. On this post I rolled with the Nikon F3/T and Portra 160 which fast became my new favourite splurge for medium speed colour negative film. I prefer Portra 160 over 400 any day of the week and it fast replaced Ektar 100 as the new go to landscape colour negative film.  It was Jo-Anne's first time at the Oxtongue Rapids and was blown away at the beauty. I myself had another chance to photograph an extremely beautiful spot in the eastern edge of Muskoka Region. We also went further up river to see the upper rapids which I did not visit decade ago. I would love to shoot medium format colour film here at some point with my Mamiya C220F.  Camera: Nikon F3/T, Nikkor AIS lenses.  Film: Kodak Portra 160.
