This picture again shows my quest for visual warmth in our way-too-cold outdoors.
As a technical note, I’ve been using Agfa Optima Professional 100 and 400 in the AE-1 recently and it’s interesting to see the difference in colour strength from the Fuji Superia which I’ve mostly used before. The Fuji film has very strong blues and yellows and the Agfa has very strong blues, yellows but also reds. I’m not sure how much effect the Fuji chemistry at West Camera has on this.

It was a freezing day and the wind was whipping at us off both Grenadier Pond and Lake Ontario but somehow these grasses make it seem warm.

I’m picking up a couple of rolls of film today which will hopefully contain some nice winter shots. I’ve been sort of scraping the barrel on the last few photos as I get pickier with myself.
Half of one of the rolls I’ll get today is my first test of the Jupiter-11 135mm lens I got for the Fed5. It’s an awkward shooting process as the lens doesn’t couple with the rangefinder visually so I have to frame the shot using this little turret-style multi viewfinder and then focus using the rangefinder viewer. It’s all made even clumsier by the cold and not really being able to wear gloves while performing this little photo ballet. We’ll see what came of it…

Okay, this is pulled from a couple of months back when everything wasn’t covered in snow. It seems like I’ve had half rolls in the few cameras that I have for quite a while now. The days are either too grey or too freezing.
We did brave the elements the other day to take some pictures in High Park. It seemed at first to be somewhat mild but we were just kidding ourselves. I’ve noticed that the 28-80mm lens on the AE-1 gets a point of frost at its centre when it’s too cold. I have to watch out for that and keep my glove covering the lens in-between shots.
