current events b/w: ilford hp5 (pushed one stop)

Current events, black and white. I’m sure you’ve been hearing some things about here.
I pushed the roll one stop to 800, as the sun is starting to set a bit early now and I wanted to have more to work with. I was pleasantly surprised with how nicely this roll developed and scanned.

Current events, now color (see last post for the b/w). I’ve been trying to catch up and get everything in order, so I hope to put more time into the analog work in the near future, but for now, some nice ones from Candido. It’s a “cinema film” (sort of, I won’t get into the technical side of it), so gives nice results, but a little more tricky than regular cinema film, I found.

Haven’t posted anything in a while. I shot some rolls on vacation, but nothing outside of personal holiday shots. Everything else, 2-3 rolls worth, just came out real bad. I don’t know if it was the place I got it from (god knows how long they were on the shelf), multiple failures to get past x-ray scanning at the airport, bad lab development or my own incompetence (nope, nope, nope, wasn’t that), but most of what was shot just didn’t…happen. Felt like a large systematic disaster, so I haven’t actually shot anything as of late.
The summer left the tank feeling empty, like I had an anti-vacation. Tough to feel the energy everyone has in the fall to get cracking on things.
I salvaged some black and whites, some remainders of the summer, before putting it away.
america two hundred frenchy: vision 3 250D + kentmere pan 200

Happy Birthday America! I know it’s been practically a month since we celebrated, but it’s been a busy one. I’m just getting around to the edit of the rest of the last roll, coupled with some summer lab delays, but here are some images from the America 250 Celebration in Versailles this year. The Chateau of Versailles held an event to celebrate the 250th birthday boy and France and the US of A being best buds, with all of your typical July 4th fanfare and history.
First up are some Vision 3 250Ds. As it was a long day, I took along the Olympus AF 1, light on the weight and all. Had I thought of it, I would have brought something with a real wide lens on it and get some shots like Yorgos Lanthimos, but I wanted to carry the extra weight from hot dogs and not from cameras. I’m happy how they all turned out, a mighty point-and-shoot!
Surreal day watching non-American people “be” American, as an American, on America’s holiday, in a non-American place. Patriotic identity fever dream! Very few of us Americans there actually, so it was nice to see many Euro peoples take an interest in the day. Not your typical July 4th, but a great one nevertheless.
But wait, there’s more! I did bring me a roll of Kentmere Pan 200 for once the color ran out. This worked out in favor, as I’ve needed something to use for… black and white developing and scanning. That’s right, baby! Your boy is cooking up things in the home lab. Begin, more the criticism! More on this in the future.
