Quarantined With Fomapan

So. How has everyone been doing? Tired of this enforced isolation? I know I am.

It has allowed me to work on a few projects. I’ve been experimenting with some new film, the latest being Fomapan 100. I gotta say, I’m a fan! I’ve been shooting with Ilford’s Ortho Plus for so long I’ve forgotten what it was like shooting with a film that has access to a much wider spectrum.

“Quarantined”; Intrepid MKIV; Schneider 210mm; Fomapan 100; Ilfosol 3

“Companions”; Intrepid MKIV; Schneider 210mm; Fomapan 100; Ilfosol 3

Fomapan loves texture and detail! What striked me the most is the film’s ability to pick up a whole range of minute details owing to it’s extremely fine grain. Right off the bat I think it’s enough to rival Ilford’s Delta and even Ortho Plus! I rated each of these shots at 100iso, but I think Fomapan likes to be overexposed just slightly.

Looking forward to working more with my new favorite film!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I hope everyone, free or ball-and-chained, has a wonderful little holiday!

Been busy working on learning how to develop color film. Here is a shot I did today using Kodak Ektar 100 film which I developed personally. I love the results! Film definitely has its own feel . . . . feels more real than digital.
