Canada Toronto: Queen Street 'Rangefinder' Walkabout- March 15th 2pm

[Shelley-Ann]

Shelley-Ann... Just to clarify... The "main" group (so to speak) still meets at McD opposite Varsity Stadium at 11:45 am... Correct??

Maybe it's my ancient iBook, but I can't load the route map.

Correct.

See you guys tomorrow!

 

[Trius]

Gene, Frank, Dave, Peter ... have one for me. I should be pretty lit in that case! 😀

 

[Ali Riza Kutlu]

I am likely...would like to have a pint with you guys... let me see...

cheers, A

 

[FrankS]

Hope you make it, Ali. Still have that XPan?

 

[Ali Riza Kutlu]

Yes, I do... loving it... will bring some prints tomorrow if I can...

 

[vrgard]

I'm looking forward to seeing some of the shots you guys got today.

And thanks, Gene, for my toast in absentia.

Errgh... Josee and I didn't make it down there - we ended up in the Distillery where we eventually met up with another friend and then went to West Queen West for a walk from Bathurst to about Dovercourt - stopping to have a drink at The Gladstone...I've got pics from the LAST time (August) I was able to make it out to a meet.. 😉

Great meetup.

Guy and FrankS

 

[FrankS]

Welcome to the world of having a significant other, Dave. Like I said, be careful what you wish for. 😉

The meet-up went well. Met some new (to me) folks. And good to see some old regulars who I haven't seen for a while. Peter almost dropped his LX3 into his beer while using the glass to steady the camera. (He needs a Nikonos for that.)
Ali brought some wonderful prints that made me jealous!

 

[zenlibra]

Nice turnout today, maybe I'll actually meet some of you guys next time. Thanks for sharing your prints, beautiful work!

 

[peterc]

I think Gene had the LX3.

 

[GeneW]

I almost dunked the LX3 in my Guinness. Gives images a nice sepia toning...

Gene

 

[peterc]

Gives all your pics an Irish flavour.

 

[dcsang]

I finally (as of last night) dev'd the Silvertone (aka Agfa) 100 in Rodinal that I shot at the get together back in August at the Beer Bistro (ETA: I stand corrected - this is August at the Irish Embassy !!!).... large pics of some of the locals, Jack, Gene and Guy....in that order 🙂

Cheers and I will aim for next time.

Gene, FILM can be developed in a wide variety of liquids; I would not be surprised if Guinness did not provide truly wonderful results.

Pixels, however, do not survive in any liquid. So the choice is there ...

Film and beer, or pixels and disappointment. 😛

Shelley, thanks for organizing. I had fun.

With luck I might have also gotten a few pictures. Glad we found your lens cap Peter.

Enjoyed meeting a few new faces.

In case you are wondering (my online name doesn't help much in that regard) I was the Frank with the white beard. If you are also on TPMG, on that site I go by the handle "FrankE".

 

[FrankS]

Hey, I thought I was the Frank with the beard. 🙂>


edit: Ah, not totally white yet.

 

[peterc]

Thanks for the help finding the lens cap Frank.

 

[dcsang]

Wait a second.. there's TWO Franks with white beards !?!?!?!?!😱😱

Cheers,
Dave

Since I could not be there in person today, here is my contribution from an earlier visit.
