tuileries + a test roll: kentmere pan 400

My Canon needed new light seals, so I changed them and had to run something through it to test things out. What better than a cheap roll of black and white kentmere pan 400? I dunno, never used it, so let’s see. A bit from around town here, but I had to go to the gardens twice this week, so you might notice most are from around there.
Even though many consider it on underperforming end of the film stock spectrum, I didn’t find it that bad, really. It’s like that shit car that you use to go to work: dependable, does its job. It’s 400, so a little bit too gritty for my taste, but maybe their others iso are a bit nicer? Hmmm…further investigations needed. I have just bought a roll of the Pan 200, so let’s see if that is any better and I’ll let you know.
Speaking of buying more film, did you know you can help with that? Please visit my support page to find out how to help my work in analog photography! Much love to those who have done so already, it has been a great help. I thank you.
More color to come too!

New point and shoot here! Got my hands on an Olympus AF-1 (purchased from an old Kodak employee, so that’s cool too…thank you for your service, sir). She is exactly the kind of low maintenance, not have to overthink it, daily carry that one needs in their life.
spires.
Things are functioning, more later with that camera.
For now, just a few random bits I’ve been able to take a look and finally put together with more Colorplus, Portra 400 I think, and some Fujifilm? I’m very, very, very selective, so I try to go back and pick out ones I wouldn’t have necessary selected the first time around and well, that takes time. I haven’t been the best at logging things though lately either and have been slowly getting through it all, so here is just a bit of color bric-a-brac.
I’ll have the black and white bits coming shortly. In the meantime, if you would like to support my analog photography, you can do so here. Cheers!
motion pictures: nation photo 250 D (kodak vision 3)

What a deal! The local film lab respools motion picture film and sells it nice and cheap, so I was able to get my hands on some. I really like the feel of it, but I’m very excited for the new 200T they just released. If you have no idea what any of that means, no worries! It just means more means to get some nice shots. Mmm…pure butter, baby.
Yo dawg. I like taking these film images and sharing them with you, but one has to pay for this all somehow, no? Take a peak here and let me know if you can help out in anyway. Ain’t got money, ain’t got crypto? Maybe your old analog film camera is sitting in a closet doing nothing but collecting dust. Send it over here! Muchas gracias to all of those who have helped out so far, muchas gracias to all the amigos who can help out in the future. Cheers everybody!
