I didn't get it -- till looked it up. Once again -- and image from Maui.

NW Maui

A paradise in and of itself -- let alone when you are carrying a camera. Taken from the beach of the house we were fortunate to be renting for the week. Can't wait to go back. This is Ilford Pan-F 50. I'm not a big fan as the sharpness seems a bit lacking - It was a an experiment of sorts - I'm now sticking to Ilford's Delta series. Either 100 or 400.

Shark Teeth or Island Style

The awning says it all - below it are the shops which reflects such, of which I didn't notice.

Maui Palms

Added on May 18, 2015 by John Sturr.

More Maui - not too bore, but I just can't look away; fair warning as more will be coming.

The Yashica is a joy to use and learn from. This is Ilford's Pan f - 50 ASA. It's hard for me to compare but I would like to compare Delta 100 or a TMax and see the results.

Maui Backwoods

This was a part of a walk to a remote beach, and I couldn't resist capturing the jungle like feel.

Maui on a Boat

Added on May 10, 2015 by John Sturr.

Three feet away while seated on a ferry with a 50mm and little options for framing present. And in a way conditions force the idea to get out of the comfort zone and you make do - and it's a nice thing when something good literally develops.

Hula in Ektar

I dragged the Hula Girl to the beach for a photo shoot -- I take what I can get.

Whale watching in Ektar

Added on April 16, 2015 by John Sturr.

This is Ektar 100 again -- but with great light of the morning sunrise. You have to move quickly and sort of guess at everything and hope you get something of it. And when it all comes together - you wonder if it really was a guess.

This is shot on the Yashica Mat 124G - 120 format.

Ektar 100

Added on April 14, 2015 by John Sturr.

I don't have much experience with Kodak's Ektar. I've seen all the advertisements and I've heard all the hype. Everything is true -- great for landscapes on desert islands - and you can't get away from the reds in the skintones. The grain is really tight - be sure to nail your focus with great light and you may just have a winner.

This is 120 -- on the Yashica Mat 124G. 120 Format is gripping.

It's been while

Added on March 22, 2015 by John Sturr.

I've, between shooting film - waiting on a copyright registration for such images - and losing track of it all because of an upcoming Maui vacation, so I haven't updated the blog in a while.

The film quandary continues - and I shouldn't call it a quandary and it really is a good thing. I've become more critical of what I shoot and I'm excited to keep the learning curve going. Here in Maui I'm shooting 35mm Ilford, and Kodak stock, along with the same in 2-1/4 x 2-1/4.

In the meantime - I'm also still shooting the V1 - not so say that the V1 is now second fiddle - but it fills in the gaps when I don't have the right roll in the F100. I can't change rolls in mid cycle until I send in the body for Nikon to modify to the leader exposed during the re-wind - Ugh.
