Ok. I've been shooting TriX with the M6 since June, almost every day (certainly every day on average) and this is destroying my life. I stopped using the G10, and sold it a few weeks ago. (The long term value of a digicam tends to zero. I sold the G10 just before the G11 became available. Good move.) For a while I was shooting the D700 on weekends, because I love colour, but it's soooo heavy, and I just put colour film in the M6, and now I'm really reluctant to haul D700+24-70+70-300+++, like 4 kilos of camera and lens and shit? And now there's the M9, and I just got a 90mm Elmarit-M 2.8 on eBay. If anybody wants a D700 kit drop me an email. It's only a matter of time before it winds up on craigslist first eBay second, and I order an M9. I've decided that I hate 35mm film (strange since I really like 120 and 4x5) but I love the Leica. Trouble. This is trouble.

In the dark
I definitely have a predilection for shooting in the dark. This is why I really like the D700. But it seems that film doesn't do too badly in the dark, either. This is straight Tri-X at ISO 400. The next roll I'm pushing to 1600.

That took a while
Not that I haven't been shooting, but that I haven't got film back from the lab, having been away. So a couple of rolls to catch up on. Here's number five.
I've decided that when necessary I will crop and adjust these images (sometimes it's just too painful not to) but I will say more or less what I've done.

Why is this?
Another set of "colour weekend" shots, from a walk along the CN right of way, and the construction site of the the new underpass at Queen and Dufferin. It seems to me my colour shots are generally much stronger than my black & white. Interesting.
