Well after being quite sick for a few weeks, I decided to celebrate by taking a drive on a beautiful Saturday. I also tried out two rolls of a new film, Kodak T-Max 100. I’m really impressed on how these came out. The emulsion on the T-Max films use tubular crystals instead of the traditional cubic ones. This makes for a finer grain compared with similar speed films.

I also used the yellow filter through out both rolls. It makes the clouds stand out a little bit more. The difference is subtle, but it is there.

I’m slowly getting a bit more consistent on my exposures. Editing is still a bit off from frame to frame. Some are darker than others. Sometimes, I just want to get through a roll, especially since I shot two rolls that came out really well.

I really like this one. I had to do some dodging on the bricks left of the entrance to bring out their detail.

I lost detail right of the entrance on this picture. The sun was shining bright on the right side of the church. The wooden shingles are no longer visible.
