I think I saw more red-colored aspen trees this year than previously and I believe it’s something to do with the amount of rain if I’m not mistaken. Before this I shot two rolls of slide film in my new F2A, which I will get around to developing eventually. So this color is a little bit past its top level but still pretty good. I shot maybe 40 rolls of black & white in 2020 (plus 4×5 sheets as well) and maybe 5 rolls of color, all around September/October.
(that last one is currently my desktop background)
This is my first roll of Ektar 100 in nearly 4 years; for some reason I’ve just never really clicked with this film but I’m still willing to give it a chance every once in a while. I hope that I’ll get it eventually but as far as Kodak color film goes I think I’m going to like Ektachrome 100 more and even Gold 200 has done better for me in the past. I suppose that Ektar will really shine in medium format and as I am in the process of moving that direction I will be giving Ektar 100 even more chances…
I find Ektar 100 loves bright light! I shoot two or three rolls during summer, especially at the beach, where the vivid colours shine in the midday sun! If I am going into parklands or forest Portra 400 has become my film of choice, it is better with contrast and the colour is still great 😉
