Torrance to Rosseau May 10th / 2024 Mamiya RB , Ortho and FP4

 A Day Trip from Barrie to Torrance , Torrance to Rosseau Falls, and Swords. 

 I wanted to check the RB for light leaks on both backs. They are beyond (I think) where I can re-insert the dark slide and swap the backs so I finish one roll and go on with the next. I've been using some fairly esoteric developers through the fall and winter of 23-24 with Ilford Delta, and the view camera, but for Ortho 80 and FP4+  roll film  I wanted to make sure that there was more leeway with exposure and for convenience sake I could soup both rolls in 1:50 Rodinal. 

The "Massive Development Chart is a great resource, I'd like not to second guess it, but with distilled water I think the times are often longer than I require, or the meter in the RB is overexposing slightly. These are, for the most part, un-edited and scanned with an Epson V700, the skies in some of these appear as though they may have been burned in , but I have been using an Urth 77mm graduated neutral density filter that I really like, The "Cameron" variable density filter, (photos of moving water)  I am not so sure about ...  The Torrance location was new to me and was pointed out in Google Earth.  It's a reserve set out to preserve maximum dark sky and 360 degree view, sadly littered with Tim Horton's garbage on most of the trails.

 I've been posting or sharing one photo from a roll when I get lucky and get one that I like without including the rest of the photos. With a view camera this is great , but with roll film I thought it might be fun to show off the entire roll or rolls from the trip unaltered for the most part.
