Bill Smith's Photography

Street Fest part of the month long Beaches Jazz Festival is an amazing opportunity for street photography, granted a few things to consider, eat dinner early because every patio along Queen Street East was slammed with patrons.  We started at Queen and Woodbine with Samba Squad and the group split up around Ivan Forest Gardens due to the crowds and the heat as the city was under a head advisory for the month. I finished the roll and double back to Woodbine along the lake to catch the bus home.  Camera: Nikon F100, Nikon AFS 50 F1.8 G Lens.  Film: Ilford HP5 400 pushed to 1600, Ilfotec HC 1+15. 

 The Nikon F100 is brilliant for colour photography, put it on matrix metering put a fast almost wide lens like the Nikon AF-D 35 F2 and you create a very powerful point and shoot cmaera. I used Lomochrome 92 as the film of choice for this trip, I wanted something timeless harkening back to summer's past.  Niagara on the Lake itself is a very photogenic town. Jo-Anne and I have only daytripped down together. I would love to stay down overnight or even the weekend. While it was easy to drive down from Oakville, Midtown Toronto is another matter on the return trip.  Camera: Nikon F100, Nikon AF-D 35 F2 lens.  Film: Lomography Lomochrome 92 400 colour film.
