35mm Tripping

It has been a while since my last post. For various reasons, one being that I decided to go off for a jolly in America. So here's a few shots. All taken on Superia 200, most from a (sometimes moving) car.

I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised with the results from this. The roll was two years out of date, but the results are, as you can see, stunning. Definitely use this film again. Enjoy.

Another roll of Fuji Superia 400 (again, a little out of date). I bought a few rolls of this off eBay, and I must say it is a very nice film to use; beautiful colours. I'm starting to get a tad annoyed with myself. My focussing skill seems to have gone down the pan. I tend to be focussing short, which is rather frustrating, so I really have to work on that. Anyway, here's a few shots.

I reckon this is acutally just rebranded Fuji Superia. The colours are a lot more vibrant than the scans do justice. Although, I must say, I really wish I could use something faster than 400 sometimes.

So. First roll of Superia 400, which was a little out of date. Still came out pretty well, if I say so myself. Mangaed to get through the whole roll (pretty much) in one day. Also, about 10 frames were wasted when my camera got hijacked, but hey, no big. Good colour, very much like this film. Shooting in darker places also allowed me to try out the Olympus PS200 flash I bought the other day for a whopping £2, and it's actually very good. Anyway, more shortly, enjoy.

So, today a roll of outdated Elite Chrome 200 that I've had knocking about for a while. I'll be perfectly honest, I found the results rather dull, to say the least (although that was partly due to the fact that the monkeys at the lab don't seem to understand the concept of cross-processing). Anyway, I doubt I'll use that again. Also dropped off another roll of Jessops 400 film, and a roll of outdated Fuji Superia 400, to be done, so I'll get those up at some point.
So what I think I was trying to say is that I wasn't happy with the reuslts of the film, partly because it was a bit dull, and partly because I didn't seem to be able to focus properly. Either way, here's some of the shots.

So I picked up a roll of Pan 400 from the college art shop the other day, shot it over two days, processed it this morning and scanned it before dinner. It's actually not a bad film, very similar to HP5, if slightly flatter. When it comes to Ilford film, I'm a sucker for Delta 400 and FP4, oh, and can't forget Pan F 50. Anyway, here's some of the shots.
