Bill Smith's Photography

  I stared this roll a sunny Sunday July afternoon down in the Annex, met up with Jo-Anne for dinner at the Victory Cafe. I finished the roll two days later along Dupont/Davenport one part of town I don't shoot much. One shot I really wanted was of the Avenue Road Diner, it's one of those older Yorkville spots that might not be long for this world with the pace of redevelopment being what it is.  The camera choice was one of my Nikon F2SB's the best pre Ai Nikkor body, rolled with K series Pre Ai 50 F1.4 and 28 F2.8 along with Ilford FP4 125, the timeless classic.  Sometimes I wonder why I pack my 105 F2.5 Nikkor P.C. lens, but then, you just never know.  Camera: Nikon F2SB, Nikkor Pre Ai Lenses.  Film: Ilford FP4 125, Ilfotec HC 1+31. 

 I am getting better at scanning colour with Silverfast. I'm loving the results of this roll better than the first one.  Kodak Vision 250 D is pretty easy to scan most cases with minimal adjustments in Lightroom.  As for walking through Riverdale, it's a lovely neighbourhood for a photo walk, in the end, we wound up at Factory Girl for lunch, a gastro pub I can't recommend enough.  Camera: Nikon F2SB, Nikkor Pre Ai 50 F1.4 lens.  Film: Kodak Vision 250D, ECN2 Proessed at Graination Lab.
