Nubbins III | Red Barn This old barn has been well kept. It stands across the road from one of my walkabout trailheads. My old Petri Color 35 still works well with new color print film. Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.

A Winter Morning, just after sunrise, seemed like a good time to try more film photos. The Kodak Signet 30, a 35mm film camera with a 44mm f2.8 lens and FujiColor Pro 400H film makes a very nice image even after converting the color to black & white in post. This digital image was produced at the time the film was developed. Since this image was delivered as a JPG, it did not need much post processing.
These older cameras like the Kodak Signet 30 really make the photographer think about what he is about to do as he prepares to make a photograph. It does not have a light meter or rangefinder. So, the photographer must use his best guess of the distance while making the depth of field large enough and the shutter speed fast enough to keep the subject sharp. And, the photog must determine aperture and shutter speed for the best exposure.
Halloween seemed like a good subject to try some of my first film photos in a long time. The Petri Color 35, a 35mm film camera with a 44mm f2.8 lens and FujiColor Pro 400H film makes a very nice image with soft skin colors against a vibrant background.

Red Barn This old Red Barn has been well maintained or restored. It’s only a few miles from where I live and seemed like a good subject to try my first film photos in a long time. The Petri Color 35, a 35mm film camera with a 44mm f2.8 lens, makes a very nice image. This digital image was produced at the time the film was developed. Actually, prints were optional from the processor, but I took them just to see if there were are differences between the prints and the JPGs.
