We’ve been spared the blazing fires so far this summer. Up north, further east, flames are rocketing through dried out forests and neighborhoods. I think two fires were caused by arsonists. Still, our temperatures have been nearly impossible – many days over 100F – and the air conditioner is the only thing that keeps heat exhaustion from become deadlier than it already is.
This is from the first roll of film out of a new-to-me Cosina CX-2.
I finally had time to scan my film I shot last weekend up at the botanical garden. I have just recently picked up an Olympus OM-4T. To see if it worked, I used it completely on auto mode, essentially aperture priority. It worked really well! The film is an old standby, Ultramax 400, which is a pretty nice, inexpensive color negative film. I pushed a bit here and there in post, but the beauty of the film always comes through.
A morning view in the studio . . .
Yeah, and in a pano no less! I couldn’t remember if I had rewound the film in my Trip 35, so I cracked it. The last few pictures were exposed, but the result is that this panorama actually has genuine light leaks, not ones put in place by software. I rather like the results.
From last summer’s road trip using JCH StreetPan 400.
