#filmportrait with #604photowalk | Personal Work
10.11.2011
Us Vancouverites enjoy a good photowalk around the city. 604photowalk
We recently started tagging people who were interested with the hashtag #604photowalk on Twitter. With great success, we had a turn out of 9 inspired individuals (myself included) looking to frame up the city and it’s inhabitants in their own way.
And for me, there was no better time to take out the film camera. At this point I wouldn’t be caught dead having it on me during a wedding, but perhaps one day I will add it to my repertoire.
I enjoy taking out the Contax’s RTS rangefinder but this time around I stuck with using the Canon EOS3. It’s compatible with all my lenses, has a solid weight and feels good in the hands. I also Love the manual shutter compared to the electronic DSLR’s and it comes with 45 focus points to boot!
Shot on expired slide film. Developed & scanned at the lowest quality at The Lab. I was very disappointed with the service they provided and none of the images came back processed! I had to do all the post work myself. I wouldn’t recommend using them if you’re not a big time client made of money! On my second go at development in Vancouver with the Black/White film, I went with Custom Color. I was much happier with the scans!
A few people you will see in the photos below;

After ending my 24 roll of expired coloured film, I swapped the ammo to monochrome. *Scanned by Custom Color*
how do i do this
The Custom Colour monochrome work is way sharper and more detailed. Love the depth and variance between darks and lights. The first roll of film has a bit too much grain for my tastes, but I still like the work!
