Needing to take a break from shooting with my new Pocket Wizard Flex system, I figured it was time to shoot more film and focus on composition, colors, textures, etc... instead of dialing in artificial light. So Brian and I met Devin Downtown to finish off some Portra 800 35mm film, Portra 400NC 120mm film and my last roll of Tri-X.
I forgot how shallow my 80mm f/1.9 lens can be and how I struggle when shooting my Mamiya with the Prism Viewfinder. During this shoot, I decided to only use the Waist-Level viewfinder and almost all of my images came out tack sharp. We shot in shade and direct sunlight and the latitude that film provides is excellent.
I then pulled out my Nikon FE2, which still had some Portra 800 that I loaded for my shoot with Taylor and Sammy at The Padre. The images were shot using a Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 lens. I do like the graininess and the soft colors. All images were taken with Available Light since I needed a break from wanting to enhance the light with strobes and reflectors.
