Dipping in to the world of film

Back in September, my wife and I embarked on an extended road trip through some of the western US and a small portion of south west Canada. I took the opportunity to shoot my first rolls of film for quite some time (and my first medium-format film) after having been persuaded by good friend Dan Rubin to branch out a little from digital. Having picked up a slightly battered fully manual Fujica GW690 (6x9 120/220, 90mm / ~45mm equiv) from the late 70s, I loaded up on Kodak Portra 400 and Ektar 100 and, with a little knowledge (but considerably more enthusiasm) and a light meter in hand, shot the scenes below…

Thanks to UK Film Lab for their excellent processing services.

For the digital shots from the trip, see my other story on Exposure.
