My new (to me) Nikon F4 body arrived this week, so I now have one to replace the one that was stolen. I went out yesterday, despite the gloomy light to shoot a test roll. I did’t have any 400 speed film so I shot a roll of Svema Foto 100, which made for some very slow shutter speeds handheld, but thankfully wide-angle lenses such as the Tamron SP 17mm/3.5 I was shooting are more forgiving. 🙂
On another dreary winter day in Toronto, with a dull light that just sucks the enthusiasm right out of me, it was nice to pick up a roll of colour slide film that I had sent in for processing.

One final image from this series of the W.H. Harris Water Treatment Plant. The grey dull day seemed to align with the austere nature of the building.

This caught my eye in my hotel room.

Another image of one of the R.H. Harris Water treatment plant. Fixing the converging vertical lines is a lot easier in post working with a scan than doing it in the darkroom by tilting the easel.

I have shot the R.H. Harris Water Treatment Plant in Toronto a few times, but never with the Tamron SP superwide 17mm/3.5 lens so out I went last weekend. The very grey, flat lighting gave an interesting look to a very interesting building.

Another image from a foggy day at the Beaches on Saturday. I was struck by this scene of a family in the distance looking out at the fog.

Kentmere 400 film
Yesterday was a foggy day at the Beaches. I was shooting with my Nikon N90s and Nikkor 105mm/2.5 (replacing the one that was stolen). The film was an old expired roll of Ultrafine Xtreme 400 I had lying around and the result was grainier than I would have liked, but perhaps for the fog the effect works.

Another look at a space at Union Station which should normally be bustling, but was quiet on Saturday morning.
