Bill Smith's Photography

The Lomographic Society over the past few years has branched out from just offering toy cameras to fine art photographer and hipsters everywhere to now offering their own branded film. For the sake of experimentation, I picked up a three pack and ran one through my Rolleiflex last weekend. Interesting film that honestly should be used in a Holga or Diana toy camera.  The first three frames had light leak courtesy quality control or lack there of at the Chinese plant where the film was coated. It's not a bad C-41fim but if you're doing a critical work, I would reach for either Kodak Portra 400,  Ektar 100 or Fuji Pro 400 H instead.

All shot on the 2013 Winter Photography Outing with the Oakville Camera Club up in Belfountain Conservation Area and surrounding neighbourhood. I really love shooting with my Nikon FM2, especially in the winter. The Canadian Government used them up in the high arctic because it was the only camera that would function in temperatures as low as -40c, I don't think the replacement DSLRs would last anywhere near as long out there. Camera: Nikon FM2 and the 35 F2 Ais Lens mostly. Film: Fuji Pro 400 H. 

Camera: Hasselblad 500CM, Zeiss 80 f2.8 Planar lens. Film: Ilford Delta 100, HC110 Dilution B. Location Belfountain Conservation Area Hasselblads while considered a studio camera is really good for doing landscapes. I'm still blown away at how nice the images look with that magic combination of lens, film and developer. 

Life has been getting a little too interesting lately and not in a good way. Sometimes a walk in the woods, in this case Forks of the Credit Provincial Park in the dead of winter is the perfect place to find some solitude and a chance to think.

Camera: Nikon F2 Photomic, various Nikkor Lenses Film: Ilford Delta 100, HC110 Dilution B. Location: Around Caledon Ontario, including the Caledon Ski Club
