Turn point at Haro Strait. Happily some research showed that's a bulk carrier and not a tanker.

Goat peak lookout was a #Palacesandgardens and as for #littlewonders, she certainly is to me.

This is my first time hearing of that. I wonder if it's another full color film, or bluescale?

Phoenix be like:

A special sort of a grumpy but chill look. :)

Once per year the family gets together and combs them and trims their hooves. The rest of the time the three exist in a massive pasture all to themselves on a quiet island with no threat to their wellbeing apart from time.

Ahhh, that's some of the difficulty. My photo lab scans, but each time I have to convince them to scan as is (not reverse or color correct).

They think that Phoenix always blows out highlights and has a red cast because they use "normal" settings and that's how it turns out.

What adjustments do you do for color? I had some Phoenix II of autumn larches, and getting the yellow to come out has been a process. All the tweaks from Phoenix I went out the windows.

I noticed that green needs to be tamed.

It's pretty gorgeous. And surrounded by a green parkland too.

A reissue, uncropped. An ode to Harman Phoenix I, and my favorite I took with the film.

Thanks Cliff. I really appreciate that.
Phoenix is always fun with the halations. My only thing with Phoenix II is if I didn't know better, I'd say the grain is coarser than Phoenix I. I like grain, but I was surprised.

My formula for color balance from P1 does not work for P2.

Lowering low end green channel, and increasing red. Getting closer to an ok balance.

Another #BlueSkyMonday . Taken August, 2025. Minimal editing. Even straightening the image took something away.

Stunning. Love the soft shadow light from the trees. Offsets the austerity of the top of the photo.

GREAT light!

I'm speechless! I'm glad you like the photograph! This was my first time shooting on Harman Phoenix II. Exposure was a little uncertain (do I trust box-speed 200 iso...or 120 iso) and the processing of the negative image took redoing my process from old Phoenix 1 back to square one.

I really like your photography, and I respect your skill. How about ding me for the weird color balance in my Phoenix II. That's 100% fair game.

Respectfully. I'm on here to share photos that I take. That makes me happy. Elsewhere, I get political and debative. Here is for photography.

What I need on here often is to search my postings, and that means tags. Art challenges are fun too.

What I don't need on here is to be policed by you.

I finally have a solution for tuning Phoenix 2. Lower the low end green in the curves.
