Roll 38, 2016 is another roll of the new JCH Streetpan 400 film. I really like this film, it has a good contrast and a nice punchy look. It feels very different than the HP5 posted in the previous week. First part of the roll was shot heading up to Mission Dolores in San Francisco.… Continue reading Roll 38, 2016

Roll 20, 2016
Roll 20 is my last roll of Agfa Vista 400, the color and results from this roll were a bit disappointing. They’re from an overcast day shooting the remains of Candlestick Park, once a football stadium, now a construction site. Shots taken on: Nikon F6, 50mm f/1.8, Agfa Vista 400 Developed and scanned by The… Continue reading Roll 20, 2016
Roll 19, 2016
Roll 19 is a roll of Agfa Vista 400, which is an inexpensive film, I prefer Portra but Agfa is about half the cost and not too bad when you have plenty of light. The difference is only $4 per roll, which isn’t that much, but can add up if you shoot a lot. Shots… Continue reading Roll 19, 2016
Roll 18, 2016
Roll 18 is a roll of Agfa Vista 400, which is one of the cheapest color films at about $4/roll. The color and quality isn’t always great, but not too bad for half the cost of Portra. This roll continues from our family road trip to Portland, which might be cheating for the 52-rolls project… Continue reading Roll 18, 2016
Roll 17, 2016
Roll 17 is a roll of Cinestill 800T shot on a road trip to Portland. Cinestill is an interesting film. I really like using it for night, which I did for Roll #8. The film is balanced for tungsten light, which results in a cool color cast for day shots, which you can see in… Continue reading Roll 17, 2016
Roll 13, 2016
Roll 13 is a roll of Fuji Superia 400, its not my favorite film but it is the most common. I thought I had an extra roll in my bag, but ran out of film while I was shooting. I stopped at a nearby drugstore and picked up a pack. There is not really a… Continue reading Roll 13, 2016
Roll 12, 2016
Roll #12 is a roll of Kodak Portra 400. A few shots of a radio tower and building out on the bay in Redwood Shores and from around the neighborhood. Shots taken on: Nikon F6, 50mm f/1.8, Kodak PortraDeveloped and scanned by The FIND Lab
Roll 11, 2016
Roll #11 is another roll of Kodak Portra 400. Most of the shots are from a visit over to Stanford, my first time going to the top of Hoover Tower which gives some nice views of Silicon Valley. The half-mast flag shot in motion was using the same 9-stop ND filter that I used last… Continue reading Roll 11, 2016
Roll 10, 2016
Roll #10 is another roll of Kodak Portra and more cherry blossoms. For the brief time they were in bloom, I was shooting a whole lot of blossoms. I started to get a little bored with straight shots so started panning, trying to fill more of the frame with the bright color. They didn’t quite… Continue reading Roll 10, 2016
Roll 9, 2016
Roll #9 in my 52 rolls project is the first of my most standard film, a roll of Kodak Portra 400. Rolls #4 and #7 were Portra but ISO 160. A bout of warm weather woke up all the trees, Spring is almost here. I shot a lot of cherry blossoms, so be prepared for… Continue reading Roll 9, 2016
Roll 8, 2016
Roll #8 is a roll of Cinestill 800T that I shot in San Francisco. I was up in the city for a meetup at night, so grabbed a roll of Cinestill to take a set of night shots. I just dig the red halation glow. Working Late in the City Show with: Nikon F6, 50mm… Continue reading Roll 8, 2016
Nikon F6: A camera of great substance
The Nikon F6 just might be the greatest film camera ever made, practically perfect for a primary film camera and here’s my reasons why. The F6 is equivalent to a top-of-the-line digital camera, it just uses film as its medium. We can leave the debate of film vs. digital for another day. Let’s just assume… Continue reading Nikon F6: A camera of great substance
Roll 7, 2016
Roll #7 is a roll of Kodak Portra color film. Kodak Portra is my favorite film to use, it has a wonderful look and versatile for just about any situations, even pushed a few stops to 1600 it turns out great, see this great example by Phil Kneen. Also, I’m starting to feel the challenge… Continue reading Roll 7, 2016
Roll 6, 2016
Roll #6 is my second roll of Lomography 400 color film. I’m getting down to shooting just my standard film stock, which is primarily Kodak Portra. I have a few rolls of Cinestill around, plus just backed their 120 film campaign on Indiegogo. Oh yeh, I also just ordered two rolls of Fuji Natura 1600… Continue reading Roll 6, 2016
Roll 5, 2016
Roll #5 is a roll of Lomography 400 color film. I had two rolls of the Lomo film still around from my film tests, so this and next week are shot on that film.
Roll 4, 2016
Roll #4 is a roll of Kodak Portra 160. Portra might be my favorite film that is still available, however ISO 160 is a bit tough to work with—the variable light sensitivity is one of the biggest pluses digital has going for it.
Roll 3, 2016
The third roll in my 52 rolls project, a roll of Fuji Superia. This is one of the last rolls of miscellaneous film I had lying around. I really struggled to capture the second shot with the couple eating lunch. It has such potential, but 5-stories up and with only a 50mm and no other… Continue reading Roll 3, 2016
Roll 2, 2016
My second roll in my 52 rolls project. This roll shot on Cinestill 50 on a commute to work in San Francisco. I had a roll of Cinestill 50 I bought for my film tests. I think I like the look of their 800T film a bit better, I still have three rolls of that… Continue reading Roll 2, 2016
