Canon FT QL with 55mm f/1.2 for Film February Contest

Using a vintage 35mm Canon FT QL with a Canon 55mm f/1.2 lens for the unique Film February roll-of-film contest. Andrew and Denae (check out their channel:    / denaeandrew   ) issued a challenge to film photographers: Shoot an entire roll of film, send it in for processing, and the roll will be judged as a whole.
From the Film February website:
"Film February is a “roll of film” photo contest
Film February is a celebration one of the best aspects of shooting film: the wait and anticipation of the development. It’s a whole roll of film, which must be shot before processed, and processed before enjoyed. A roll of film is a gift we give ourselves; and in February we want to make a big deal out of it." https://filmfebruary.com/

I chose to shoot with a 1966 Canon FT QL 35mm camera and a roll of Kodak Gold 400 film. We see some ice flows on the St. Clair River and other maritime sites. I have sent my film in for processing and should be ready by the End of March, 2021. I will post the photos after they have been made available to me.

This video features the Sunny 16 rule and other vintage photography tips. As always, it is my intent to provide some "Vintage Illumination" of forgotten photographic tips and techniques.
