I shoot Portra 400, Tri X, or HP5 in Pentax manual cameras...got a bunch of them. I recently started shooting the Portra and absolutely love it. Sure, I have to send it off to develop it but that isn't a big deal.
I like to shoot festivals, events, protests, ect. with them. Wherever humans gather seems to be a good place to get some nice shots and a small kit using one short telephoto and a fast 50mm keeps me busy finding shots. When on the bike I will take my Pentax MX and a 50mm f1.4 and just shoot whatever I see that seems interesting. Depending on the ride that may be nothing because I'm more focused on cycling or I wind up stopping all the time. I always have a film camera when vacationing and will shoot whatever, whenever. I tend to shoot less frames when using film over digital, but I seem to have more fun using the film. I don't know why that is but I think it has to do with deliberately slowing down and being choosy because the equipment forces me to. (motordrives don't belong on film cameras. ;) lol) On Monday, September 24, 2018 at 11:41:14 AM UTC-5, Philip Williamson wrote: > I marked this OT, but changed my mind, since Grant writes about and shoots > analog film. > My question isn't about gear (no surprise if it goes there, though), it's > about subject matter.
