First roll of Ilford B&W 3200 film - Mae's Birthday

So here are some photos from my first roll of Ilford 3200 black and white film. I shot these during a night out to celebrate my sister's birthday with my Yashica and rated the film at 1600. I did some research on this film and from what I read it produces more grain than normal to give you that "artsy" look. You'll also notice below a line in the photos which I believe was produced by a piece of grit or sand in the camera. Another thing to note in some of the photos is the exposed "spool" - looks like the some frames were dislodged from the spool. Lesson learn here is that film is super sensitive and to err on overexposing by 2 stops when making photos in low light situations.  Anyway, let me know what you guys think.  BTW, got these developed at Penn Camera...not sure what happened with the scans.

Joann + Gabe Part II : Film

Here are more photos of Joann and Gabe's photo shoot that I did back in July. These photos were made with my film camera using Kodak Portra 400 and I finally received the scans from Richard Photo Lab.  Can you tell the difference from my first post of Joann + Gabe using my Nikon D90?

Anyway, I'm super excited about Joann and Gabe's upcoming wedding! Once again these two were troopers and they made it easy for me to capture the love they have for each other.

Dupont Circle Farmer's Market - Testing Film-like Nikon Picture Control

Spent Sunday morning with the family perusing through the fresh produce at the Dupont Circle Farmer's Market. I used this time as an opportunity to test out some film-like Nikon Picture Control files I uploaded to my Nikon D90. It's pretty cool to have various film-like stock such as Kodak Portra NC, Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia available at your fingertips.  Well almost, they're pretty close but I'm not quite sold. Check out the photos below and let me know what you think?

Garden Photos

Had some extra frames to blow before I sent them to the lab, so I took some shots of my garden.  Used Portra 400 and my trusty Yashica FX-3 Super 2000.
