Forbidden Drive (Historic Blue Stone Bridge) - Wissahickon Valley
Another quick photo post,
First time shooting Ektar 100, and everything went wrong at the start! The Minolta camera I was using broke, died or fainted after attempting to shoot first frame. Somehow after opening the back up none of the film was damaged by light.
Wanted to see how autumn foilage would look, so went down to the Wissahickon and took these :)
Even though I can’t help but do a little editing, ektar does have a vivid look to it. Out of all the Kodaks I tried this would be top 3 for me.
Gold 200 (Daylight)
Ultra Max 400 (Sun/Clouds)
Ektar 100 (Summer Sun)
Portra 400 seemed too unsaturated and lacking contrast to me. Might have to try it again now that I understand metering better.
But as far as walk around whimsical street photography I believe the above 3 work better for me…and since we are approaching that time when the sun clocks out earlier—Ultra Max will be what I choose.
