While TMax isn&#8217;t always my first choice, I&#8217;m more of a classic grain shooter. But hey sometimes it&#8217;s good to jump a little bit outside of your comfort zone. So into Hamilton, I went, and while I had planned to shoot all eight loaded sheets that day but the cold weather told me otherwise. <\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/33146995252\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" title=\"HMCS Haida\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/3\/2861\/33146995252_d51eb28cf2_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"812\" alt=\"HMCS Haida\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<em>Pacemaker Crown Graphic &#8211; Fuji Fujinon-W 1:5.6\/125 &#8211; Kodak TMax 100 @ ASA-100 &#8211; Blazinal (1+50) 12:00 @ 20C<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/32459561664\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" title=\"Craft Beers\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/4\/3762\/32459561664_d8f9f03856_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"790\" alt=\"Craft Beers\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<em>Pacemaker Crown Graphic &#8211; Schneider-Kreuznach Symmar-S 1:5.6\/210 &#8211; Kodak TMax 100 @ ASA-100 &#8211; Blazinal (1+50) 12:00 @ 20C<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/33146993792\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" title=\"Whitehern\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/3\/2943\/33146993792_dd6067e3a6_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"798\" alt=\"Whitehern\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<em>Pacemaker Crown Graphic &#8211; Fuji Fujinon-W 1:5.6\/125 &#8211; Kodak TMax 100 @ ASA-100 &#8211; Blazinal (1+50) 12:00 @ 20C<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Well in Canada, March can be a bit of a hit and miss, and while the weather kept me from shooting outside, my shutters tend to get laggy in sub-zero weather I again had to dive outside of my comfort zone. Usually, when I&#8217;m shooting large format I stick to deep depth-of-field, we&#8217;re talking f\/32 and up on my aperture. Sure it makes for longer shutter times, but it gives the images incredible sharpness. Well, the temperatures stuck below zero so open up the lens I did.<\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/33307164231\/in\/photostream\/\" title=\"Retention\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/4\/3756\/33307164231_e8e5c84d80_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"805\" alt=\"Retention\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<em>Pacemaker Crown Graphic &#8211; Schneider-Kreuznach Symmar-S 1:5.6\/210 &#8211; Kodak TMax 100 @ ASA-100 &#8211; Kodak D-23 (Stock) 9:30 @ 20C<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/33435247635\/in\/photostream\/\" title=\"Take Flight\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/1\/682\/33435247635_875b9cccbb_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"806\" alt=\"Take Flight\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<em>Pacemaker Crown Graphic &#8211; Schneider-Kreuznach Symmar-S 1:5.6\/210 &#8211; Kodak TMax 100 @ ASA-100 &#8211; Kodak D-23 (Stock) 9:30 @ 20C<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/33307163111\/in\/photostream\/\" title=\"The Lights Above\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/1\/765\/33307163111_12296578b4_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"794\" alt=\"The Lights Above\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<em>Pacemaker Crown Graphic &#8211; Schneider-Kreuznach Symmar-S 1:5.6\/210 &#8211; Kodak TMax 100 @ ASA-100 &#8211; Kodak D-23 (Stock) 9:30 @ 20C<\/em><\/p>\n<p>While I&#8217;m pretty happy with my results for this month, I hope next month&#8217;s TMax Party I&#8217;ll have some more outdoor shots.
