The Film Doth Return

I've been considering devolving and shooting film for a while now and just recently made the leap.

In the days of big sensors and HD video and all that tech nonsense it just feels good, and oddly enough almost organic to shoot film. I haven't made the push to shooting color slide yet but it's in the works.

Currently I'm working my way through a few rolls of Kodak TRI-X 400. This is a great all purpose film, I personally really like it's high amount of grain (which looks awesome zoomed in 100% in Photoshop!) I just got the first roll of black and white I've shot in almost 5 years. I sent it out to North Coast Photographic Services in Carlsbad, CA to have it processed and scanned. It took about a 1.5wks to get it all the way back to Washington but it was worth it.

Here's an image with very minor adjustments:



Loving it.

P.S. I dropped my D300 the other day, the body, and lens survived but my battery/vertical grip needs to be sent in to Nikon for service :(
