[back alley]

rico, we have a similar event here also, i was referring to the theft.

jan, those bastards! i hope they rot in hell. if there is any justice then there is a special place in hell for those who steal from those who work for and buy.

Jan 'short a couple of cameras'

jan, i have a ricoh 500 that needs seals.
some friends found it at a garage sale. it looks new and the meter works, though i have not checked it for accuracy. the old seals have been removed already.
it even has a case and manual.

say the word and i'll put it in the mail. would be a good car camera.

Frank, I've felt bad I haven't have anything to contribute so here's an offering from this morning. It was, alas, taken with digital (but with a Leica lens 🙂

Two power walkers ahead of me in the streaming morning sunlight.

Thank you all for your entries so far. There are still a few days to go!

Here is my own contribution to Canadian Summertime fun. Taken on Gull Lake in Haliburton with a C/V25mm lens on a Leica CL.

Yeah I am stuffing the contest but I love this photo, I took it with a Canon Canonet QL17 G111 with Fuji Superia Extra 400 asa, I think if memory serves me because I took this three weeks ago in Kensington Market at Casa Acoreana, I metered the outside and kept the interior in the shadow. I am guessing F11 at 125 or 250 maybe. While I shoot a lot of black and white, I love playing in colour as well and I get this total wow look with this roll of film I shot.

That sucks!

That sucks!

Hi Joe

yes I took 3 cameras, my Oly XA, your Oly RC, and a Nikonos III on a trip to Vancouver 3 weeks ago. The cameras and a lot of other stuff as well as exposed film were stolen from the trunk of the new Avis rental car I had leased.

Reported to the police, and Avis, I doubt anything will come of it except I'm out of pocket and I lost a lot of quality shots from Toronto summer events as well as 3 days of shots in Vancouver.

Rats! there I said it and I feel better.... not really.

Sorry to hear about the theft, that really puts a damper on things. There is the Thornhill Camera Show, if you can make we can advise on what to get for your new equipment fleet. If I was going to Caribana, I would just take either the Canonet or a Pentax Spotmatic. Nothing I would really cry over if I lost it.

ok, a few shots from me too.

the first 3 are from the fringe theatre event aka 'the fringe'.
for some reason i seem to have focussed on snacking...

the fourth is a quiet morning side street just off whyte avenue. i must walk down that street about 20 times a month.

Uncle Bill, two things

One; yep that is Kensington okay.

Two; Caribana, well my shots from that were in two of the cameras I lost. As we say in this multi-lingual country .. 'merde'

[Uncle Bill]

So Frank...any winner?

 

[FrankS]

A participant has asked for a short extension in order to get some recent shots processed and submitted. Due to the limited number of submissions, this request has been granted and a winner will be declared by Sept.10.

 

[GeneW]

Thank goodness for the extension -- I just developed this roll last night. Tri-X @ 1600, Rodinal 1:50 a la merciful partial stand development. Bessa R, 35mm Ultron

Hey hey hey... HOLD ON here.
I believe Frank's initial post was for THIS summer or before; not next summer 😉

[FrankS]

Yeah, that's just not fair Bill. I'll have to dis-allow those shots! 🙂

2005 Summer Fun in Canada

2005 Summer Fun in Canada

hi gang it's been a busy but not productive summer. Still a great one in Toronto. Here's my 2 cents worth for the 'Summer Fun in Canada' thread started by Frank.

the first shot is of a coaster at the annual Canadian National Exhibition held in Toronto every year in August, the second is also at the CNE and shows a popular 'game of chance' and all the 'players'

Hi Nikon Bob
