Ode to Summer
Well, Summer has left us. These are from the Bronica, I really have no way to scan the negatives as of yet so it takes me a while to get them onto the web. If I had a solution I think the Bronica would definitely get more use – those 6×6 negatives are kind of addicting. I can’t even remember the film…maybe HP5+ or FP4+
In other news…The ZM 50 1.5 is now gone. My first and only lens for the M3…but no worries a replacement is on the way. The ZM 50 1.5 is a very unique lens, and the look that it produces is one I really enjoy. The minimum focus distance of 1m and the focus shift issues were starting to get on my nerves a little though. Hopefully the replacement will be here early next week. So, the 400 foot project is on a break for the time being. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
The 400 Foot Project has Begun
I have wanted to start a long term project after following this 50 roll project for a while now. If you have time, go take a look at it as serves as the inspiration for mine, and more so just because it has some great images. Recently I got a pretty good deal on 400′ of Eastman 5222 Double X. This is a cinema film – classics like Schindler’s List were filmed with Double X. So, none the less it has a pretty good reputation. Fair warning, don’t expect anything in that league from here on out. I don’t claim to be a master of photography by any means (which should be pretty obvious if you visit regularly). I spent a day putting all 400′ into cassettes in a bulk loading bonanza. All that is left to do now is shoot it…
And so it begins! You can keep track of all the images on the main page if you prefer, but I will try and give a heads up when it is updated.
