Canada could be cold but it has been mild for last ten years, global warming you know  . It gets to -10 C so not really bad. What I don't like is the freezing rain staff that comes down occasionally. But I do like four seasons. Matthijs I like this combination of Fomaspeed and Newtol beautiful tonality. Well exposed and printed.
Thanks guy's

Hi, Greg. Now I am really tempted to get on out of here. I really cannot handle the cold, which is one reason I want to stay. Here in L.A., we have had a mild summer, except for one three-day stretch that was over 100F.
As for the pic, thanks. That's a statue of Jackie Robinson's head. It was the last shot on a roll of HP5 I had shot walking and driving around L.A. The camera was a Nikon F Photomic T and the lens was a Nikkor-S 50mm f/1.4. I exposed it meterless (the old averaging T meter is worse than guessing, IMO), using EI 500. It was about high noon on a very clear and very hot day, so it must have been '500 at f/16. I developed in Ilford HC 1:63 using my +1 time. The enlarging equipment was a Schneider Componon-S 2.8/50 mounted on a B22XL. Ilford Multigrade developer and Rapid Fixer.
I don't get any post otherwise!
I've already sorted out my entries for the next 2 rounds as I have a huge pile that I printed while overwintering in France.
