Some of my personal favorite shots I've taken all in one place!

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.

A historic railway town in the New River Gorge, West Virginia. I got SUPER lucky and got to see a freight train passing down! I'm surprised that even Amtrak makes it down here!

First flower pics of the year!

See my blog post below for the full recipe!

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..

A continuation on my road trip to beautiful West Virginia!

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.

Day trip to buckeye furnace!

Another roll from my day trip to buckeye furnace!

Pushing HP5+ 400 ISo all the way to 3200 ISO using HC-110!

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.

In love with this film!

First time shooting SFX, I used a yellow filter on some of these shots... unfortunately I don't know which ones :/

Another roll I shot while in Moonville... first time using Tri-X 400 and developed with Ilford DDX.

A supposedly haunted tunnel in what is supposedly a ghost town?? You know I had to go here at night then!

Kentmere 100, despite being a slow speed budget film can handle being pushed all the way to 800 with no problems! I am considering buying a 100ft reel of it now..

First time shooting Rollei RPX! I went to cornhenge and met some guys out there racing drones! Was very cool to get these midair shots but I wish there was more daylight out!

I forget what lens I used for these... My first time with CineStill BwXX and I developed with rodinal. This has become my favorite BW film so far!

Into the depths of an office h*ck space!!!

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

I broke open these geodes to take these pictures, they seem to have eyes!

I shot half of this roll on my Nikkor PB-5 Bellows system, was able to get a fly trapped for my first insect macro photoshoot! I can't imagine how difficult it'd be to use the bellows on a living and moving specimen...

I wish we went out earlier in the day so we'd have more sunlight for these portraits! E-6 slide film tends to clip out the blacks and shadows really hard, so you need to account for that when metering!

More experiments with doing macros on my Nikkor PB-5 Bellows focusing system!

Okay but who let the dog in :/

Going incognito into the backrooms!

A throwaway roll I took on C200

Expired film comes out with a red color shift; I have also uploaded the color corrected versions side by side.

Roll expired sometime around 2006, I don't have an exact date so I metered for about 700 ISO in compensation.

I bought a bellows unit a long with the PB-6 slide copier adapter. After successfully doing my first duplication I decided to get some macros wit the bellows unit.

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.

This is the first time I've ever shot Velvia... for the amount I paid for the roll, not sure if it was worth it! The lighting conditions weren't the best, I have several more rolls to try this filmstock out.

I can admit the lighting was not optimal for utilizing CineStill 50D, the sun was already setting! Also, this building has kind of become a reference subject for me; when I'm trying new lenses or filmstocks this abandoned school is unique enough to use for comparing images between gear.

These are not only some of my favorite shots that I've taken, they also are some of the highest quality and finest grain that I've ever developed and scanned!

A days work captured with my Olympus XA2, aka the ultimate aim and pray camera for those incognito shots.
