Recently I commented in another thread that Raid had inspired me to take more photos of my kids at play. I decided not to be bogged down by gear (nor risk a larger camera while I was skating). So I grabbed my little black Olympus Stylus w 35mm f/3.5 lens, and dropped in a roll of Silvertone (APX100).

We had a kids Winterfest going on that day somewhere else in the city, but due to previous experiences with it - decided to venture out and create our own. My daughter's friend joined us, and we went skating at an outdoor rink downtown, had some hot chocolate, then for a quick lunch , and off to a big hill for some tobogganing!
We had a great time, and I am happy with the photos.

I only went through half the roll, and so (after having my wife show me the rewind button), I rewound the film, got my film retriever and got it loaded into my Canon Elan 7N - I have more shots to scan, but that will come later.

I developed the SilverTone100 in TMAX Developer for 6.5 min at 20 degrees C - and I really liked the results!

Now onto the photos!

They came out very nice! You will never have enough photos of your family.
Always take as many as you can, kids grow up sooooo fast! No snow in Austin.

Beautiful! Second the suggestion of taking as many photos of your children as you can. They'd never be enough.

You did very well with the exposure in the snow. It seems you had a wonderful time!

I just printed all of the above in 4x6 (at the local lab, from the scanned negs) - the SilverTone film really scans well, and works well with TMAX. They looked great!
