Film Shooters Meet - April 30th in Toronto

hpulley · Apr 15, 2011

What's the best place to park again? Anyone else coming from the west that would want to carpool, perhaps from Morriston (401 & 6)?

David William White · Apr 15, 2011

There's some on the south side right in front of the weird sculpture and coffee house. There's a larger lot on the north side of Mill Street at Parliament.

Harry -- if you can make it down 6 to Dundas, I can take us in. Let me know.

hpulley · Apr 15, 2011

What time were you going to leave?

David William White · Apr 15, 2011

Probably around 12 or so.

hpulley · Apr 15, 2011

That could work, I'll confirm closer to the day. Dundas isn't exactly on the way but it would be good to shoot the breeze on the way in.

One week to go! Looks like the weather may even cooperate. Have some plans for the summer(June-July) I'll post soon. Looking forward to meeting the GTA/Ontario crew.

I've been told I have to be at rehearsal from 10 am to 10 pm on Saturday, so I cannot attend :-( Hopefully I can make the May event!

CGW · Apr 27, 2011

Added bonus: The Ontario Spring Water Sake Company opens this Friday at the Distillery. Real junmai sake finally comes to TO. Hoping for some samples... Kampai!

hpulley · Apr 27, 2011

Kampai indeed! I love junmai o-sake! Should be fun.

David William White · Apr 29, 2011

Forecast looks good.

Saturday Afternoon we're looking at Mainly Sunny Conditions with 15C, and a 0% chance of precipitation.

Break out that slow film! I know that a couple rolls of Velvia (RVP) will be coming along! Maybe some nice 100 speed b/w, and some Ektar 100 as well.

Final Camera list
Rolleiflex
Nikon F3
Polaroid Auto 240 (with some Polaroid 664)

Uncle Bill · Apr 29, 2011

I'm there at one, don't think I'll be staying all afternoon as I have a second event to catch up to at some point.

Final camera list: Rolleiflex, Canon F-1n with 35 f2 and 100 f2.8 and a variety of film.

David William White · Apr 30, 2011

Good weather and shooting today! Nice to see Bill, Mihai, and Mike again, as well as meet Alex, Harry, CGW, and others for the first time. My negatives are hanging to dry and looks like some good possibilities for prints over the next couple of days.

Axle · Apr 30, 2011

Great to finally meet all of you and thank you for joining in! Made my weekend!

Thanks Alex for putting this together. I had a blast.

JohnMeadows · Apr 30, 2011

Really wish I could have attended :-( Looking forward to the next one in May!

hpulley · May 1, 2011

Great to meet and shoot, the weather cooperated. Oh and the sake was quite nice too!

Haven't developed yet though... perhaps now.

Mike Wilde · May 2, 2011

I had a very nice time shooting. So nice that the spring rains that just don't seem to ever stop this year actually stopped for a whole day for our event.

The little hello session at the beginning of the shoot was neat. At least everyone did not stand around comparing looks at each others gear all afternoon.

Putting a face to the screen names and actially verbally conversing was fun as well.

The films exposed are now on the 'waiting to be proecessed' shelf in the darkroom.

Now I am back to ongoing home renovations. Perhaps I will process the negatives while I wait for a coat of paint to dry sometime this week.
