Shot on the F100 with film which did funny things during development. I have a feeling it was mis labeled as it sure looks like 3200 to me. Self development results are sometimes very surprising.

The parking lot, with a light drizzle made the hood of this "vette" really shine.

Back Alley
I take the camera with me everywhere. And it's nice my Wife is understanding and keeps a good attitude as it usually means an extra piece of luggage or bag I have to carry. This day was like no other - I had the camera, and as I drove into the parking garage to the UPS Store - this appeared.

The big Negative
I run a constant battle between which format of film I shoot or choose to shoot.
I really like the big negative which is why I really love the 120 format, aka, Medium Format - or if you are really old skool you may call it 2-1/4. 2-1/4” which is the square format of the negative in inches.
But — I also have my Nikno F100 body in 35mm. Scanning the 35mm is super easy- and I love that. And the body is easy to carry around from place to place — and I have many lenses to choose from.

XP2 - C41
A friend who I've mention before, Will Wright, sent me a roll of Ilford XP2 to try explore. The option of being able to shoot BW with a C-41 process has some advantages - especially when traveling or being on the road without the traditional chemicals available.
Drop it in the mail - or find a local drugstore to process the roll - done.
This is a shot from my day job - FFKR Architects - where, as I've mentioned in other posts, I have some excellent subject matter and backgrounds, to photograph.
Here is one of the Firm's Principals, Rick Frerichs, head of the Health Care Studio, in his office.

SLC - Capitol
Shot at the South entrance steps of the SLC Capitol - with the F100 on HP5. As with all of my images - no crop.
BW is unforgiving
BW film or any film is always a bit of an event in discovering the result — and I guess that’s what keeps me coming back.
As I learned in my stats class years ago - there are some un-predictable parameters which don’t lend to a “sure thing” event.
I now see why, when those back in the day, shot film they were true artists of the time. There was no preview - no chimping - no spray and pray. A wedding photographer for hire had no choice but to get the shot - and I doubt any had “errors and omissions” insurance if they didn’t. And if you didn’t get it - then - a world of hurt your had to face with the client.
The capture is the easiest - film selection defined your style - and predicting exposure with limited frames determined your profits. And I haven’t even brought about the challenges of flash.
This is downtown SLC - a scene of the sun peaking during just the right time of the morning. BW with this golden light is a challenge - where color becomes dramatic and a no brainer - BW is unforgiving.

Umbrella in the Mist
I really like photos taken in the rain because it is a venue not very much captured -- and as luck would have it we had days and days of rain falling on a Saturday where I could take advantage to shoot. As I was driving downtown - and as if it was planned - here was a colorful umbrella traveling the sidewalk on South Temple Street.
As much as I could - I got head enough in the car in order to pull over to take some frames.
The scene really turned out well - as it was a serendipitous event all coming together. And as much as I hate to say it - photography is all about the Serendipity -- seriously -- If you have the camera you may just come away as being the Rockstar with the one and only image of the event - whatever that may be.

Timeless without the Cars
Here's Lola again - with my wife Madeline. When Lola was around 10lbs.
I love this image - combined with the look of film this brings me to a "Madmen" type scene -- with the hat and film base it looks like something from the fabulous 1950's.
No lies here -- I don't know how fabulous the 50's really were as I wasn't born yet -- but I can't get over the nostalgia this image brings. Too bad the cars are in the background - else it would have been timeless.
This is Kodak's Portra 400. For its skin tone rendering - it has no peer.
Self developed with a C-41 Tetenal Kit - no crop.

the Lola - she's not a showgirl
The English Bulldog who joined us mid April. She's been a ball of fun - farts a lot and can let out a belch after drinking a bowl of water which would make a Frat House proud.
She's now twice this size of 10lbs.
You go Girl !!!

Ilford Delta 3200
Here's a shot from my first roll of this 3200 -- an experiment with the Bokeh. Not much contrast in this developed roll I must say.

Smoke Tones
A cedar plank salmon smoking, is a back yard favorite - and on a whim I shot the event and the captured tones blew me away.
The smoke tones, during this evening really gave way to the power of the monochrome - and this became a good learning moment of trying to recognize what BW can really capture.
Formica Color Chips
This was a grab shot - and a bit of a surprise at how well it turned out. I couldn't have imagined this result. Geometric patterns are difficult to come by, recognize, and then capture.
