It goes without saying that I have a preference to 100 speed films. So, when I spotted this roll of Velvia available at ASA 100, I didn’t hesitate to grab it. My problem was that I didn’t know where to use it. Enter Killbear Provincial Park! 100 speed is my “comfort food” and the percentage of captures I grabbed using this film was, safe to say, higher than the Velvia 50.

Alvin here. As you know we are pretty quiet during the weekend on this blog. So I was thinking about putting up a quick blurb during the weekend about happenings around town that I discover.

Sing with me!
Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out to the crowd;
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack,
I don’t care if I never come back.
Let me root, root, root, for the BLUE JAYS,
If they don’t win, its a shame.
For it’s one, two, three strikes you’re out,

As I mentioned in my last follies post, the Fujifilm Pro-400H was my 2nd to last expired film (read post here). Well, this is the last of my expired film: Kodak’s 400 Tri-X professional black and white film. This is also probably the least aged of my old film, only having expired around late 2013. This film also gave me a (more…)
I’ve had the Samsung Galaxy S6 for over a couple months and still can’t stop raving about the camera on the device.
I didn’t realize just how many photos I have taken with it (well over 600) and I think it I am still discovering more surprises with it.
Colours are nice and vibrant
I have to seriously use the film that I get within its sell by date. Having said that, this is the 2nd to last roll of film I have had sitting around for over a year. That film in question is Fujifilm’s Pro 400h color negative film. This didn’t have that colour shift that I got from my previous old roll of film (Kodak Chrome 100) which the post can be read here. But then again, that roll was, I would guess, about 10 years old.
In the past few weeks, I’ve had an opportunity to try out shooting with slide film – a roll of Fujichrome Velvia 50. As I mentioned in my previous post, the roll took 2 weeks to process. (more…)
L to R: Ilford SFX 200, Kodak Portra 160, FujiFilm Velvia 50, Ilford PanF Plus 50, and up on top Agfa Vista 400
