Ok, so here's the last Kodak Portra post for a while. Again, the images are shot on the Nikon FM3a + 28mm and 35mm Nikon E series and 50mm f1.2 Nikkor lenses and Kodak Portra 400 film:
I know how everyone loves Kodak Portra... and that's why I keep posting these. However I'm coming to the end of my Portra shots and have no more rolls to shoot or develop. At a minimum price of £6 per roll and a development of price of £3.99 it's not a cheap way to shoot. If anyone wants to donate any unused rolls of Kodak Portra to a good cause, then let me know and I'd be delighted to take your rolls in to care :-P Alternatively if anyone knows of a cheap place in London that sells Kodak Portra 400 135 film 36 exp please let me know. Shot on the Nikon FM3a + 28mm and 35mm Nikon E series and 50mm f1.2 Nikkor lenses and Kodak Portra 400 film.
Some weird and wonderful scenes across London town, during the summer. Seems so long ago now :-( Shot on the Nikon FM3a + 28mm and 35mm Nikon E series lenses and Kodak Portra 400 film.
I just came back home from a quick trip to Brick Lane, and I met Charlie Abbiss from Film's Not Dead. A cool community website and resource for people who are in to or want to try out film photography. They had Kentmere 400 at £3.50 which is pretty cheap, if anyone is thinking of stocking up on black & white film. Charlie's a cool guy and his work is great; black & white street with an emphasis on shadows and light, so check out his site if you've got a few minutes spare. Here's today's set of pics, shot on the Nikon FM3a + 28mm and 35mm Nikon E series lenses and Kodak Portra 400 film.
I hope you're all enjoying the festive period. I've some more colour film scans to get through so here they are... Shot on the Nikon FM3a + 28mm and 35mm Nikon E series lenses. Oh, and I wish you all an action packed new years eve. ;)
Portraits on Kodak Portra 400... You can see why they call it Portra. Lovely skin-tone rendition, even with flash. Most of these were shot when I was drunk, so I have little to no recollection of the events, but it's always fun when checking your developed negatives and scanning them, bringing back fragments of memories. The one event that I do have a recollection of is the last photo in this post. I noticed a bloke with an Olympus XA, quietly observing people on the corner of Oxford Street and Regent Street and firing off the odd shutter. Naturally I was drawn to the scene which was reminiscent of watching back a video of yourself, so I sneaked up to him, aimed the camera, and waited for him to turn to face me before pressing the shutter button. I then chatted to him briefly before continuing down Oxford Street. Does anyone know him? Edit: The guy in the photo is Alistair Redding (Hi Alistair), I realised he actually emailed me a while ago. Here's a link to his work on tumblr: http://alistairredding.tumblr.com/
