Bill Smith's Photography

 Of course the skies clear off after the walk ends but it makes for a lovely walk back to Jo-Anne's. By the time I got to Erskine blue skies were in a full force.  It was also Doors Open weekend and after checking out the Toronto Camera Club, they still have their darkroom and while I was planning to join them in the fall, I realized this solves a lot of problems. I chatted with the darkroom chair, and I felt like, this must be the place. After the tour, the skies cleared off and it was sunshine for the rest of the day.  Camera: Nikon SP, Nikkor S Mount Nikkor S 50 f1.4 lens.  Film: Fujifilm Superia 400. 

 Said it before, get out there when even the weather is less than wonderful, you can get some amazing photos. Invest in good technical outerwear, my Patagonia rain shells have kept me dry over the years on damp photo outings.  The May photo walk drew a decent group from both the Toronto Film Shooters and Toronto Analog Friends starting at La Boheme, a lovely pastry shop/cafe in North Toronto and we wandered down Yonge St. more or less to Oriole Park and we then doubled back onto the Beltline Trail. I was again shooting with my Nikon SP Rangefinder system, I love what I'm getting with the old Nikkor lens coatings and Fuji Superia 400. Just wow!  Camera: Nikon SP, S Mount Nikkor Lenses.  Film: Fujifilm Superia 400, processed at Burlington Camera.
