Bill Smith's Photography

  I love Niagara on the Lake as an escape, it reminds me a lot of Kennebunkport Maine but with a theatre fesitval and it's always fun to photograph as a visitor. To live there, no. First off with my membership at the Caledon Ski Club south of Orangeville, I'm not giving that up until it's too warm for snow, that's a haul from NOTL. Two you're living in a toursit town where foot traffic is bonkers from the end of April to Christmas on weekends and its dead quiet the remainder of the year, also, NOTL is an upscale year around neighbourhood for Niagara Region.  The Nikon F100 was the perfect companion camera on this day trip and running with the 28-105 and 70-210 zoom lenses was the perfect kit for day trips and photo walks. Lomo 400 C-41 seriously delivered, I think it is rebranded Kodak Ultramax 400. I bought three more three packs from a Montreal based camera store Studio Argentique, I don't want to be out of this film.  Camera: Nikon F100, AF-D 28-105 F3/5-4.5 ...

 Jo-Anne and I hopped in the car back in late Novmeber for a day trip down to Niagara on the Lake. We were both last down there in a group back in fall 2019 in the Before Times. This time it was just us and need a change of scenary just for a day. Back half of November Niagara on the Lake goes full on Christmas to a point Hallmark starts taking notes for future Christmas movies. We did some shopping and played tourist.  I was smart to pack my Nikon F100 with the 28-105 zoom lens, and shot Lomo 400 colour film through it. Like I said earlier Matrix Metering and Aperture priority and I"m set. If anything this year my workflow has been re-thought out with colour film and how I shoot it.  Camera: Nikon F100, Nikkor AF-D 28-105 F3.5-4.5 lens.  Film: Lomo 400 C-41.
