That film look

As some of my loyal readers know, we just bought a house a couple of months ago. So, now, in addition to working full-time as a wedding photographer, I’m also doing a ton of home repair, and finally getting a decent garden started. The other day, I was cleaning my camera gear after a bridal session, and realized that I still had a few shots left on a roll of Fuji 400 in my Nikon F5. So I headed out to the yard and snapped a couple of frames of some stuff lying around.
The last time I posted real film pictures, another photographer actually asked me what Photoshop actions I was using to get my pictures to look the way they do. I told him that I didn’t use any. This is the natural look of film. I love it, and most of my clients do too. It’s one of the reasons they hire me, because I am one of the few photographers who still use film to shoot a wedding.

Thanks Eric! This really inspires me to dig the F5 out of the closet and go grab some film! My D3 is close, but it’s still not “quite” the same. Close, maybe the next generation will finally close that small gap.

Its just fantastic that now you actually have your own garden. Great photos too. I love that in focus subject with out of focus background theme.
