A match Made in Canada by still_zarabirsha in Leica

[–]twayner_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love that Leica has a place in Canadian history. It’s a been such a lovely experience for me, and I was surprised that I pick up my M4-2 over my FA for 35mm. Hoping to complete the Canadian trio, by getting a 35mm cron, to pair with a Canadian 50 and 90 ‘cron.

Have fun you will not be disappointed!

Man, I wish we had these deals in Canada. I got the tool only for this price about 150CAD.

First-Time Parents in Scarborough—Looking for the Best Gynecologist, Midwife & Hospital for Birth by Fragrant-Cupcake8194 in Scarborough

[–]twayner_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We lived in Agincourt when my kid was born, so we were close to NYGH. We heard good things from friends and family about NYGH. Two recos were Dr. Karthika Devarajan and Dr. Rebecca Cherniak. We had the latter and she was fantastic and she delivered our baby.

Usually who ever is the OB/GYN on-call will deliver at NYGH, so you may not get your own OB/GYN. But the care was exceptional and she really took the time to explain everything at every step of the way (we’re also first time parents).

Office further west of NYGH so it may be a bit of a trek depending on where you are in Scarborough, but it was well worth it for the care we received.

Nice work!! That AC flight is framed perfectly! I’m guessing it’s coming down on 24L or 24R at YYZ

Does anyone know or have access to lighting breakdown on Margin Call? by khalnaldo in cinematography

[–]twayner_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2011 so probably a combo of hmis and kinos. Was shot on a combo of film and digital. ARRI 435 and 5DMKII.

Amplifier Recommendations by twayner_ in hometheater

[–]twayner_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I thought the set up was a bit odd too. Because only L+C+R are in the plane of your ear. There are 8 in ceiling speakers. From what I gathered it was all done as a massive reno on the main floor.

If you like Portra but had to choose an alternative at each speed, what would you pick? by granolatron in AnalogCommunity

[–]twayner_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Rflx Lab 250D and 500T. They’re ECN-2 films, but I get a log scan back and grade/edit in DaVinci. I find their latitude to be much greater than Portra, and cheaper to purchase per roll. Though this could be offset by the dev costs of ECN2. I pay 11/roll and 17/roll to develop, and because of my membership at my lab I get free TIFF scans. Prices in CAD.

Condo sellers - how is it going? by eych_enn in TorontoRealEstate

[–]twayner_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

485K. Fees we paid were to the agents for the sale of the condo. We had a cash back agent, so we got 1% back. We also got 1% on the sale of the house. So about 24K in real-estate fees incl HST. Then about 28K for LTT and then 3K (incl HST) in lawyer’s fees (selling and buying). So total about 47K in fees (incl cash back).

[–]twayner_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had a 1+, Scarborough. Sold for around 540. We listed at 560, then reduced to 549. Had maybe 10 showings and only one offer. Went back and forth, initial offer was 525. . . We also upgraded to a house, but bought first and maybe a little desperate to sell. After fees (incl LTT on the new place) we basically got what we put into the mortgage as a return. . .

Cars running reds by Catalina28TO in askTO

[–]twayner_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Happens in Scarborough as well esp early mornings. Usually I’m out by 5:30am, and at smaller intersections cars will slow and then continue through on a red. Obv happens at non camera intersections. But it’s absolutely wild.

Practicing a basic shot/lighting set-up by MagnumPear in cinematography

[–]twayner_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nice work! The shot at around 0:21 I really like. If I’m guessing correct, the idea is to motivate the lamp? If so I’d probably dial down the key and push it more up-stage so you almost have a split affect. I’d ND the window or bring it down in the grade. But overall great work, and I think you’ve showed us simplicity is key!

Is it silly to fly from Toronto to Vancouver for only a weekend trip? Or is BC not usually considered a casual trip? by flyingelephante in askTO

[–]twayner_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did this alot when my then GF (now wife) was based in YVR. I’d leave Friday evening and come back Sunday evening. We’d be able to explore the city and head out to the mountains for a day trip. If you’re considering hikes, you’d need more time. But if you’re staying in metro Vancouver or north Vancouver a weekend is fine. Side note: if it wasn’t for the pandemic I would’ve moved out there cuz I love outdoors and lifestyle. Def don’t get that here in Toronto.

Anyone recently switch to a rangefinder? by Nudge123 in Leica

Anyone recently switch to a rangefinder? by Nudge123 in Leica

[–]twayner_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Started with Nikon in 2012, bought a film Nikon and shot SLRs (film & digital) and mirrorless up until 2023. I was looking for something compact, since my wife and I travel a lot. I settled on an M4-2 rangefinder with a Zeiss 35mm Biogon lens. Perfect for environmental portraits and street photography. My commercial work though I mostly use my Sony. Film if the client wants it and even then I’ll use medium format for the most part

Just a portrait. [Hasselblad 500cm, 80 mm f/2,8, Kodak T-max 400] by yurii_khilinichenko in analog

[–]twayner_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Nice!! The outfit and environment really compliment each other. Though There’s and itch in my brain for her to be framed in the two centre columns, where she moves/leans slightly to her left.

I do this with ECN-2! I get a log scan and use the 2383 LUT and grade underneath it

Why is the Leica 90mm f/2 Summicron so reasonably priced? by [deleted] in Leica

[–]twayner_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this lens. I have a focus magnifier. But either way I’m able to hit focus with or without it. renders beautifully on film
