Even before I picked up the Fuji Acros film (mentioned in my last post), I had walked into the Henry‘s Camera Shop down the street from DC and found a roll of Ilford SFX 200 film.  I was intrigued by the box – It was black, with the letters SFX in purple…why is this film different?  So I bought the roll and later that day asked Jon about it…

My hunt for an “everyday” black and white film continued…for the third successive week, I shot blindly around town with a different roll of film not knowing what to expect.  This week, Nikki (my Nikon F90x) and I had some fun chewing through a roll of Fujifilm’s Neopan Acros. I had gotten used to handling the AF50/1.8 D lens and decided to use it again – it has become my choice lens for Nikki.

So like I mentioned in my previous follies post, I had my ISO set to 400 instead of 50, and well, the first half of my roll wasn’t so great. (more…)

Catching Fire – Trailer

The second movie on Suzanne Collin’s Hunger Games series is set to be released later this year.  I like the first movie, but after reading the book, and seeing the movie again, I still liked it, but it was lacking.  I read the trilogy last year, and I could not get into Katniss‘ character.  In any case, I am very excited to see this movie.  I am excited to see how they interpreted it, and how much they changed.   The trailer looks very promising.
