For a change usually when I get a nice long weekend off be it summer or winter I always seem to pick the days with rubbish weather but luckily for me last weekend I got a good one.
As I still have my Tetenal E6 kit mixed from the end of the summer I decided to shoot some slide film before the chemistry went off.
As I had not shot Ektachrome for ages and with Kodak hopefully bringing back the emulsion shortly I decided to shoot 2 rolls over 2 days in both 120 and 35mm ( which will be in part 2).
I went out mid Sunday morning with the Yashicamat 124G hoping to catch some nice light on the autumn leaves/trees.
The light did not disappoint and maybe for the 1st time ever I managed to get 12 keepers from a roll of 120.
I set the meter at 80 iso and tried to meter for the shadows hoping not to blow the highlights too much.
When shooting in bright sunlight the colours really pop really enhancing the autumn colours I can’t wait to get my hands on the “New” Ektachrome when it eventually appears.
Anyway thanks for looking ….
