What An exciting location to be shooting film! The majority of this roll was shot at New River Gorge Bridge in West Virginia, everything else was shot in Fayette County. I switched lenses out quite a few times for this.

In love with this film!

First time shooting CineStill 400D and I am a little underwhelemed. I'll chalk it up to user error as I was focusing into infinity but none of the shots came out sharp.

Using FPP's ultra low ISO, film is rated for 1.6 ISO, yes you heard that right ONE POINT SIX! I had to use a quick lens, I picked my 50mm Nikon E Series Prime lens, this lens opens all the way up to f/1.8 which helped immensely with shake reduction. My Nikon FG only meters to 12 ISO so I had compensate and add some stops.

I can't say I've really been able to leave the state of Ohio anytime recently... and no it's not because I love it. I think I last left 4 years ago in the summer, so I decided to take an impromptu roadtrip all the way to West Virginia! I 've never been so dumbfounded on beautiful these mountains were, and the sad thing is I know these aren't anything compared to Appalachia. FPP Dracula 64 ISO, HC-110 Dilution B for 8 min @ 68 degrees.

Having some real fun with my PB-5 bellows unit!

Nothing special, just testing out how good (or bad) this pack of expired Superia X-tra 400 will be. It's for sure a little too grainy..
