Description
I like the nice bright colors…
I recently got back into shooting and developing film again for the first time in, hmm, sixteen years or so. I’m no stranger to film. In fact it was a random roll of twenty plus year old Kodak Gold 200 that got me back into analog photography. It had been in a sock drawer for a long time and I wanted to get it developed. It sat in unfavorable conditions for many years, thus I didn’t want to pay a lot of money to send it off. So down the rabbit hole I leaped, bada boom, bada bing, I developed it on a folding table in my family room. (the film turned out great, but that’s another story).
In the tank with that ancient roll, was a fresh roll too. After consulting the internet on what films had the best color, and happening to find a roll of it at the camera store, I shot a roll of Ektar 100 by Kodak on my trusty Vivitar 3800n (a generic Pentax K1000 that has been my beloved manual camera since college) and a 50mm f2,0 lens.
On that roll, was this shot. When I converted the negative on my computer, I was blown away by the blue that this film produced. Other than cleaning up some dust, no post processing was done to this shot. It reminded me of some of the bright warm colors of Kodachrome that Paul Simon sand about.
