Toronto Part Two, Kodak Portra 400
Yesterday, I posted slide film picutres from our quick trip to Toronto. Today, I have a handful of Kodak Portra pictures. Seems like most of my Portra pictures were of Niagra Falls and I had less than a roll in Toronto. I guess that just means we need to go back for anther visit. Soo [...]
Short Trip to Toronto, Fuji Provia 100 Slide Film
Kate and I took a trip to Toronto, Ontario over the weekend. She ran the Toronto Marathon (and beat her previous time by almost three minutes!) while I acted as her support crew. This mostly meant bugging her about drinking more water, making sure she barely walked or moved the day before the marathon, and [...]
Film Photography: Brooklyn Early Morning on Kodak Portra 400
Haven’t shot a lot this week, so here are a few pictures from last week. It’s been so beautiful this Spring. I don’t know why, but every year I’m surprised when the trees start to bloom and then even more surprised to see leaves popping out. I took these first four shots early in the [...]
Brooklyn Botanic Garden: Toyo 45AII and Fuji Provia 100 Slide Film
Yesterday, I posted a handful of Hasselblad/Kodak Portra shots from the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. I did manage to set up my tripod and take a couple pictures with my large format camera. I had a film holder loaded with Fuji Provia 100 slide film and captured these two shots. White Blooms Shot Wide Open at [...]
Brooklyn Botanic Garden: Hasselblad 501cm and Kodak Porta 400 Film
Last Wednesday afternoon, I knocked off work a couple of hours early and went to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. It’s only two subway stops away from us on the 2/3, so I didn’t mind dragging both my Hasselblad and Toyo cameras with a big heavy wooden tripod. What I did mind were the crowds, which [...]
Large Format Slide Film, Fuji Provia 100 4×5 Sheets
On Monday evening, I purchased a few boxes of large format Fuji Provia Slide Film. You can get a box of 20 4×5 slides for slightly less than $40, which works out to about $2 per sheet. Once you factor in the cost of $3 per sheet to develop, you know that each time you [...]
Instant Film: Polaroid 420 Land Camera and Fuji FP100C in West Village
Yesterday was one of the first gorgeous NYC Spring days this year. After work Kate and I met in the West Village for some sidewalk eating and drinking. After an almost microscopic $15 dollar endive salad at Morandi (boycott is on!), we decided to go to an old/new favorite – Frankies has a newish place [...]
NYC Prints for Sale!
Lately I’ve had requests for prints and have printed some “one off” versions for friends, but I have finally bitten the bullet and selected a handful of photographs for printing. I can print anything by request of course if you ask me, but I thought it would be easier for people if I set up [...]
Film Testing: Brooklyn Bridge Long Exposure with Kodak Portra 400 4×5 Sheet Film
Here are two of the four sheets of Kodak Portra 400 that I shot recently on my Toyo 45AII large format camera. I had received a box of Portra 400 for Christmas and was curious how it would handle long exposures. I normally like B&W for these types of shots, especially the foolproof Fuji Neopan [...]
Dead Film Photography: Chinatown’s “The Bloody Angle” on Kodak Kodachrome 64
After someone on Twitter asked for shots taken on Kodak Kodachrome, I dug through some slide scans that I had shot right before Dwayne’s Photo (the last lab in the world to develop Kodachrome) stopped developing Kodachrome. Most of the shots were decent; they were taken with my Leica M6 35mm camera, which at the [...]
