Kentmere 400 pushed two stops. I watch too much grainydays. Also disgusting scans but I love it.

I’ll have to give FP4 a try. I develop with D76 since it’s all my local shop carries and I’ve not got much experience with black and white just yet. If you have any suggestions, let me know!

Thanks! I think it looks even better sharpened up, but bluesky is going to ruin it with its compression.

Cave Hill Cemetery, Louisville, KY

I wanted to try pushing film, so this is with Ilford Delta 100 pushed two stops. I think it came out great.

I’m getting pretty interested in doing photography as a business. Any tips? Unfortunately I can’t see much money in nature photography so I’ll probably get into portraits. Anything helps!!

Also looking for people to shadow in the Louisville, KY area to learn from!

The Ohio River Falls, in Clarksville Indiana. I adore these shots; I tried to go extremely heavy on the editing. Was fun. Might be more from this set at a later point.

Bought a Mamiya RB67, as I was scammed on a Pentax 67 and was very interested in medium format. My first images from it.

I had a pretty good go at it for my first attempt I feel. Though, I heated up the sink way too much and it took forever to cool off. Good problem to have I suppose, atleast until I get a sous vide.

Spending some time learning film development so that I can do a quicker turn around on film for both my buddy and I. Was a ton of fun. #photography #filmphotography

Went out to my favorite city park which isn’t anymore than like, 5 minutes away. I only took my Minolta 55mm adapted, and I gotta say, I’m in love.

Because I would’ve loved to get some of the shots on my digital! Though, it’s kinda cool to have to wait.

Shooting film between classes walking around University of Louisville campus on such a bright sunny day kinda makes me regret leaving the digital at home.
