Frugal Film Project 2022 Part One, January

 

New Year's Day I went out with Jo-Anne and my firend John for a very small group photo walk. In soem way it felt like March 2020 when Covid 19 first popped up in the world's collective conciousness. Omicron hadn't closed in person dining yet but it felt lke the other shoe was going to drop. With that in the background we went out for a New Year's Day wander with cameras in hand. It was also an opportunity to get cracking with the Frugal Film Project. I just joined the nameake Facebook Group, and the frugal camera I went with is the Nikon N90S(F90X) and the film of choice is Kodak Ultramax 400. 

In some ways I'm regretting rolling with Kodak Ultramax 400, I'm supposed to shoot a roll a month for this, and I'm good up until August with the inventory I have. Not the ideal but if worst comes to worst, I'll scrounge around my network to find enough film to get me to the end of the year (thank you Kodak supply chain issues). 

At least with my film and camera choice we can dispel the myth that colour film is only good for sunny days. 


Camera: Nikon N90S, Nikkor AF-D 28-105 F3.5-4.5 Zoom Lens. 

Film: Kodak Ultramax 400.

Rollei 35, Rollei RPX 100 on the October Photo Walk

Image
 I got all three of my Rollei 35's serviced recently by @lensmedicyyc and packed the one with the 40 F3.5 Zeiss Tessar lens which is magical for black and white films. I went meta with Rollei RPX 100, because, why not?  The Rollei 35 to recap is a very compact zone focus camera, first made in Germany, then production in Singapore in the early 1970s. They came with the 40 f3.5 Zeiss Tessar lens wich as mentioend above great for black and white film, the 40 F2.8 which has always been made in Singapore, made for colour film and a limited production of Schneider Xenar 40 F3.5 lens in the early 1970s.  The camera due to its design is ass backwards with loading from right to left which makes scanning the negatives a treat as you have to start at the end of the roll and go to the beginning. Zone focusing takes some practice but it's not hard to get the hang, just make sure you check to see the measurement is in feet or metres, that will matter, a lot.  That said, I love my Rollei 35&#

Second Roll of Aerocolor IV (Flic Film Elektra 100)

Image
 I bought a bunch of Flic Film Elektra 100 after shooting a roll of Santa Color 100 late last fall down in Niagara on the Lake  with my good Canon New F-1. I packed a two rolls gifting one roll to my brother Alex before heading south on vacation for a week. This time around my second adventure of Kodak Aero Color IV at a different time of the year.  Again, I shot at "box speed" at 100 ISO only this time through my Nikon F3/T. This time I loved the results even more, not just because it went through a different camera system. I think back late last November there was more infrared light in the spectrum due the time of year thus influencing the colour cast of the Aero Color 1V. Shooting the second roll in late March gave me a lot more the look I adored. Due to the polyester base Aero Color IV is easy to scan, you can almost colour correct during the scanning process, reducing your work flow a bit at the other end in Lightroom. Again being a polyester base, you want to load thi

The Trip Back Down HIghway 35 from Dwight to Minden.

Image
 Alright, this isn't the last of my NLP 2023 set of photos, I have two rolls of slide film out being processed and they are a tad late. They are going to get scanned eventually.  I rolled with the Nikon FM2/T on the trip home and to be honest, it just delivered with Kodak Portra 160, I've fallen in love with this emulsion, hard. I do plan to buy more next year, just as I'm going to buy more motion picture stock Ektachrome 100.  Camera: Nikon FM2/T, Nikkor AIS lenses.  Film: Kodak Portra 160
