Minolta SRT-101 with Kodak Ektar 35mm Film

Minolta SRT-101 with Kodak Ektar 35mm Film

Kodak Ektar In 35mm

February 24, 2018 in Color Film, Nudes, Photo Sessions

I really like working with Kodak Ektar film and nudes, even though it is a film stock mostly designed for landscapes, the extreme saturation in colors really works sometimes in certain conditions. Like say, photographing a nude during the last five minutes of sunshine before evening sets in. Yeah, that is a scenario where it works quite well!

I had to bracket the hell out of this particular image because for obvious reasons, photographing while pointing the camera right at the sun makes your metering go haywire. I can make some educated guesses of course, but really, it is tough to say how the film is going to render things. I wanted to make sure I got plenty of detail in the figure and I didn't mind so much if I washed everything else in the background out.

It was hot as blazes out when this image was taken and the shade and shadows of the forest were a incredible relief. 

Sometimes working in a thick patch of trees like this can be a real challenge during the summer because the light can be patchy and
One of those places I like to go pray to the Gods.

Walking through my neighborhood and admiring all the different trees and plants. I feel like I see something new every single time I take a journey to the park.

I need to make more Lumen Prints, especially now that it is summer and the foliage around here is getting brittle and falling to the ground.

Appreciating the wonderful spaces I have easy access to. Every so often I'm reminded just how much that isn't the case everywhere you go.

I feel like I was disconnected from the world for a little bit. Did I miss anything? Not really it seems. Which I suppose isn't so terrible.

I really can't imagine two images that personify a good chunk of my life these days. Roaming about the mid-west, chasing the clouds, and listening to the wind.

This is one of those images that should not have worked. It was incredibly hot out, and the light was far too harsh for my liking, but somehow we found a great little spot with some open shade and just a tiny little breeze.

I've been reconnecting with large format photography more and more, which has been quite challenging for me. It's kind of thrilling to fail, make adjustments, and then try again. It's infuriating at times too, which is all part of the fun.

I've been making little panoramic images lately walking around town. These are from an afternoon I was on my way to get a haircut. It's been a nice little exercise for my brain to fit shapes into a more cinematic frame.
