Twin Falls Idaho

Shot in Twin Falls Idaho a few years back — film on a Nikon F100 / 35mm. I don’t shoot 35mm much very often - but I’m trying to change that and work it more. Stand development of Rodinal at 5% with a 60 minute burn and then scanned on a Minolta dimage.

No crop.

Fuji Acros 100

Look for the scene to fill the frame -- see how your limitations will define the impact to the viewer - and then make that just as important as what your displaying - ultimately. If you have unlimited power you have limited creativity.

the Italy

M and I and her parents ventured on a cruise around the Italian peninsula this last September.  I was really torn as to what photographic equipment to take on this trip.  I have many choices to consider - Nikon D3s, Nikon 1v1, Nikon F100, Sony Nex-7, Rollei 6008i and the YashicaMat 124g - I brought the Sony Nex-7 and the YashicaMat 124g after much deliberation between all.

The black and white was Fuji Acros 100 - my favorite as of late - purchased during the discontinuation of Fall 2018 - but it’s coming back as a II series. I develop using a Stand in Rodinal @ 5% with a 60 minute burn. I may experiment with an Xtol dilution soon as from what I’ve seen online that may be a bit richer result.

The YashicaMat124g performed well - but always bring extra batteries just in case. Mine were getting a bit long in the tooth it seeemd. And - gear surprises aren’t any fun when traveling.

I mistakenly scanned the above as a BW - and it surprised me how well it turned out. Typically I stay true to the nuances of the format and I don’t vary from that - but this time the image just pops so much better as BW - I like it much better.
