My wife’s niece Sahana graduated from Stone Bridge Middle School this year. In August, her parents hosted a family pool party which I captured on my Minolta X-700 and my last roll of Lomography Color 100.
My wife’s niece Sahana graduated from Stone Bridge Middle School this year. In August, her parents hosted a family pool party. These scans are from my second and last 36-exposure roll of Lomography Color 100 35mm film. The results are better than the first roll, which I exposed the day before.
I learned about the word Gemütlichkeit while reading an article about German beer gardens. According to Wikipedia:
Gemütlichkeit is a German-language word used to convey the idea of a state or feeling of warmth, friendliness, and good cheer. Other qualities encompassed by the term include cosiness, peace of mind, and a sense of belonging and well-being springing from social acceptance.
This word describes how I feel when I visit Flounder Brewing.
This frame is another from a 35mm roll of Lomography Color 100, which I exposed over the summer. I used my Minolta XD-11 and MD Rokkor-X a lot this summer.
One of the better exposed and adequately focused 35mm frames from a 36-exposure roll of Lomography Color 100.
From my perspective, Lomography specialises in making 35mm and instant film products for people who enjoy making photographs that look like they were captured on film cameras and left to age for 30 years. The cameras are usually low-tech, and the film stocks do not appear to produce accurate colours and white balance. Most of what Lomography sells is unappealing to me. However, I am curious, so I have been experimenting with Color 100 from Lomography.
The 35mm film cartridge was developed at Black Lab Imaging in Flemington, New Jersey. The scans were made using my now "normal" scanning workflow.
I like the deep shadows in this frame. However, the entire scene has taken on a bluish car. The skin colours are rubbish; lighter skin tends towards pink, while darker skin looks like purple mud.
