For my second roll exposed for the #FP4Party, I felt that the mostly overcast (and occasionally snowy) conditions called for giving the medium-speed film a little push. Not too much, just under 2 stops, but enough to give me the flexibility needed to avoid having to open the lens’s aperture fully.
It was a familiar and well-loved adventure: pay visit to Hintonburg so that we could visit Motif (and look for cute novelty earrings), Maker House (and look for crafty things), Spaniel’s Tale (and look for books), and top it all off with a focaccia at Bread By Us, which is now in Wellington West, but I won’t hold that against them.
All-in-all, it made for a lovely Saturday adventure at the end of March!
