Photograph and Camera talk

Recently got out and shot a roll of Kodak Ektar. Only my second roll, and I’m mad I’ve never shot it before. Got a couple shots for my on-going personal project called “6am in Greensboro” too.

@SFMCfranky this like those sunsets you only get to see in a grocery store parking lot on a random weekday. Gorgeous shot.

Thanks again. But it’s not quite so random. That photo is taken from my back field facing West. At this time of year, when it gets near sunset and there are clouds in the sky, I can see the colors start to light up the sky from my north facing kitchen window. So I’ll call my dogs and walk out to the western field and have a look-see. It’s always a nice view. But sometimes it’s spectacular. Especially if the fog is starting to creep over Sonoma Mountain.
I guess what I’m saying is, over the years, I’ve learned where and when to look for the light in my small corner of the world.
Thanks again.

@SFMCfranky that’s awesome. I just usually only get lucky with a sky like that at the most random times.

@alexxedge Really enjoying your 6AM/Greensboro project. Reminds me of a photography class I took where the teacher had us pick a place and shoot a roll of film there once a week for the entire semester. You have a little more wiggle room than I had,but great nonetheless. I remember when Ektar came out and it was somewhat of a game changer. I used to shoot the 400 at 200 for better color saturation. Not suggesting that you do that as your images look just fine. When new films came out Kodak would publish how their films would look slightly over or under exposed.

@Jett129 that rules. I love little projects that lock us into very specific parameters. Also, that’s a fun way to shoot Ektar!

@Jett129 Thanks
Love the Black & Whites
