The beauty of 120 film.

A little while ago, I went to Albany for a short photo walk to give my Hasselblad a little exercise and to see what a roll of 2 year expired Ilford HP5 can do. The results speak for themselves:


I absolutely love the endless detail, especially at this little web size (you'll have to trust me when I say it gets better when you view this photo at 100% resolution. You can read the signs at the end of the street as if they were in front of you, even with 400 ISO grain)


The Empire State Plaza.


My wife actually had a better capture with her iPhone and Instagram. I'll go hide in a corner now.


Leading lines?


I might have to use this film for portraits.

Sweet Moments Rarely Captured

I'm normally only in the wrong place at the wrong time, so I never actually capture anything worth actually photographing. Today was different in that I actually picked up my camera and pointed it at a situation I felt was worth using up a shutter click for. Maybe this can happen more often from now on?
