So my best little buddy was hit by a car Sunday night.  He was two.  Here are some photos I took of him last week in my yard.  The last one is a photo of my beagle Koko, he's alive.

Lucky looks just like my dog Buddy. I have a Yorkie and his coloring is identical. My heart goes out to you. Hope you're doing well.

Just a nice shot of the city from in the city and then some spring flower shots.

Horizon perfekt with kodak 400VC and portra 160 for the flowers.  The flower shots were actually developed and scanned at wallgreens as i was just testing out a camera and wanted to make sure it worked, low and behold wallgreens did a decent film job!

So I thought what better way to shoot Las Vegas then to play with all the glorious light and colors that are there.  I wanted to play up the vibe of that vegas nostalgia, of the wild west history it holds.  

I decided to cross process the film I shot to make it punchy, messy and insane.  Enjoy!

The cross processing works perfectly here! I love every single picture! I wish I had been able to make it to WPPI! (I'm from the Film Shooters FB group. :) )

Ok, so its winter and while I am working on many wedding albums I also started on some new gear projects.  Since I am shooting film, I want to explore all the possibilities that it has to offer, but many of the best films are only made for movie reels and come in hundreds of feet and not little film cassettes for your 35mm or 120 camera.  The solution... a Nikon F3, or F2, or F4 with the 250 bulk roll. I have the MZ-4 for a Nikon F3 and it allows me to spool up to thirty-three feet, about seven rolls of film, into one cartridge.  So now I can buy films like Kodak 500t, 250t, the fuji enterna vivid films and so many more.  I mean, if Black Swan was shot in Fuji enterna vivis 500T, I want to shoot on that too!

So before bringing my F3 and the Kodak 500t film to a real wedding, I wanted to try it out.  So I loaded it and just took it out for a night out in Boston.  I walked along the streets and then headed to meet some friends, and the team from French Dressing, at Red sky for some fun.  They were having a lingere trunk show, it was a good time.  

The next day I was in Newport for a Bridal show at Belle Mere and I had some shots left in the spool and decided to try them out in the main ballroom as well as on my assistant Riley.  

I rated the film at 2000 and had it sent to the Brothers Wright in California to process and scan.  They used a lab called Fotokem to process the negs and then they scanned them on their frontier. 

This film is utterly amazing.  The color and the clarity is just mind-blowing.  I have been using the new portra 400 lately, and I have to say I think I like this film a lot better at 2000 then I do the portra at 1600.  Plus this film is tungsten balanced so all the sodium vapor street lights and indoor lighting fixtures look great with it.  All my daylight shots were taken with a 85B filter to compensate for the tungsten balance.  

I can't wait to shoot this at a wedding!  Next I want to try the kodak 250T and Fuji enterna vivid 160.

These images are straight scans, no digital ice, no photoshop.  I wanted to show how they look straight from the scan.
