I had some time to shoot film this summer on my Hasselblad and Mamiya, which is always lots of fun. Here are some of my favorites from a couple of rolls.
Hasselblad 1000F, Carl Zeiss 80mm f/2.8 Tessar, Fuji Pro 400H. Starting off the summer with a picnic in the park for Memorial Day.
Tried a new film stock. Fuji Pro 400H. It is a little lower contrast and cooler than I Kodak Portra 400, which is my normal color negative film. I like the Fuji stock, but I feel like it only works in certain situations.

Of course it wouldn't be summer without a trip to the pool. Shot some black and white to mix it up.
Hasselblad 1000F, Carl Zeiss 80mm f/2.8 Tessar, Kodak T-Max 400. Pushed about a stop, hence the slightly muddy shadows. I really like the tones though.
Kodak T-Max is still my favorite black and white film stock. The contrast and detail is phenomenal. I occasionally shoot Ilford HP5, but I usually save that for large format.

Hasselblad 1000F, Carl Zeiss 80mm f/2.8 Tessar, Kodak Portra 400. Ran into some friends down in Deep Ellum. Love the detail from the Zeiss lenses.
Stopped by the Perot museum in downtown Dallas. I love the way the skyline is visible behind the artwork.
Hasselblad 1000F, Carl Zeiss 80mm f/2.8 Tessar, Kodak Portra 400. Beautiful tones from this film. It's why Kodak Portra is my favorite color film.
The Hasselblad is definitely my favorite, but I do like the Mamiya sometimes. Mainly because of the 80mm f/1.9. You get some beautiful bokeh from it.
Mamiya M645 1000S, Mamiya-Sekor 80mm f/1.9 C, Kodak Portra 400. Having some fun in Deep Ellum at night. It's quite an interesting place.
That's about it. Excited for the fall. Wedding coming up in mid October. Stay tuned for more photos and reviews!
