Foolish gibberish

I am a Children’s Librarian living in the Portland, Oregon area. When I am not Children’s Librianing I like to play with cameras and film. I also like playing the ukulele, knitting, sketching, and hiking.
Tri-x

Tri-x

Finally, after getting the color film out of the way, I tried the Tri-x. As you might recall, I had a mishap with this film in my 35mm camera. I ended up making a mistake with the 120 roll, as well. I metered the entire roll of film at the wrong ISO. SIGH.

However, when I got the film back it looked fine.

I took these shots around the Mt. Hood area.

 

This one was taken on LoLo Pass Road. We tried to drive to Lost Lake but were thwarted by the closed road. This was the end of the line.
I dig the tones in this one. This was taken on the Salmon River Trail.

I love this film. I can’t wait to see what it looks like when I actually use it correctly.

    Pictures look great! Love the end of the line pic. Did you purchase a light meter yet? Are you using the built-in meter on your camera? How are you choosing exposure? Your color and B&W pictures look really great so far. Let’s see more!

      Thank you!! For the Portra shots I used an iPhone light meter app. For the Ektar and Tri-x shots I used the on-camera light meter. I would like to invest in a good light meter at some point soon.

      I am having a blast with this camera! I am shooting up a storm 🙂

    one of the reasons tri-x and portra are both great is they have incredible exposure latitude so mistakes like that don’t ruin a roll. Great shots, Monica.
