lisbon oriente / kodak tmax p3200

I had this roll of Kodak Tmax P3200 sitting in my fridge for absolute ages. So long that I couldn’t remember quite when or why I bought it. It’s not like I have much opportunity for night photography. Eventually I loaded it in my dad’s old Chinon and lugged the brick of a camera with me to Lisbon back in January. My hotel was just around the corner from Oriente station, so it was easy to go for a walk there at night and not have to carry the heavy camera around for too long.

I shot the rest of the film in varying light conditions, including on the London Underground and at an evening reception for a wedding (fair enough results), as well as in broad daylight with sunny conditions (high grain and pretty low contrast as expected). I’m most pleased with the shots below. So much so, that I almost don’t want to share them. Very me of me. 🙂

winter sun // feb 2019

This is the 2nd roll of film, I’ve put through my dad’s old 1986 Chinon CP-7m. The first was one was a bit of bust, because I was just messing about, and the pictures came out so overexposed I thought the camera might actually be broken. This time, to eliminate “user error”, I kept it safely in “P” mode and got some not too shabby results. It’s a brick of a thing to carry around, but I think I’ll be using it more from now on. Film on this occasion was my favourite Kodak 400 Gold. Slightly grainy, but safer in the changeable light conditions in London, I feel. Damn, I love the winter sun.
