I finally have some film shots, taken with 3 different types of film.
These first photographs are taken with Kodak Ektar 100 Negitive film.
A good friend of mine raves about this film, however he says he has bad results on Reds with it. I don’t seem to have the same problems.
This spider was also shot, using the same film, and the same lens.
Next comes Kodak Portra 160 NC film.
My friend, that has problems with Reds on the Ektar told me Portra isn’t that good for landscapes. However it seems to work fine with my style.
However it shines with flowers. I like the results with flowers as well.
I should mention, I’m not putting down my friends work. We both have different styles, and our equipment is completely different. So our results with different film is bound to be different.
Next comes Fuji Velvia 50, Slide film.
I must say, I found these results the most pleasing. However we can’t process slide film in the lab, where I work and the processing costs were just nuts.
Or to be honest, the processing fees weren’t all that bad, however the High Res scan’s price was just INSANE. The company, whom did the processing and scan will not be getting any more business from me.
I wanted that water coloured painted look, and this is more or less the results I was after.
this work will be posted for sale soon.
This is also the look I was after, with these leaves.
As you may have figured out I am very happy with the results I’m getting, using film in general.
I will have the camera out again tomorrow, and hope to get some nice Autumn shots.
