Silver Shade Portraits

There is something really special about taking portraits using monochrome film. Colour is great, but there is almost something soulful and deep when you take out the pop of colour. Do you agree?

More after the jump.

PX600 SILVER SHADE

My first shot with PX600 silver shade UV+. The black frame is a nice unique touch and it suits the monochromatic nature of this film. Love it.

Still shooting PX680 :)

It's already July and it feels like Summer is still hiding behind the clouds of Spring.

Gotta motivate myself to shoot more and be more experimental. The colours are still pretty amazing, but consistency is still a bit spotty.

My Sakura Tree

This tree in my backyard, every year it blooms later than all the other trees. It aint the most beautiful tree 3/4 of the year but it never fails to make me want to take an unhealthy amount of photos of it.

I wonder what surprises you have for me next year.
This PX680 film... Lovin' it!

Over Exposure!

Always be mindful of how you set your dark/light wheel. This is an example of a shot that was taken in bright sunny daylight, minimal shielding (actually pretty much zero shielding) and the wheel set in the middle.

PX680 First Pack

Oh man this film's colours... love it and they are more forgiving to shoot. Don't even need to shield it when shooting indoors away from direct sunlight. Here are some shots from my first pack.

All were taken in doors with minimal shielding of the film :) Can't wait to test it out more. GREAT STUFF coming out of the Impossible Project <3

PX 680 un-boxing Video

So here is a little video of me unboxing and testing out the new PX680 Beta Test film from TIP! The colours are AMAZING! Yes, they are getting scary close to reproducing the magic of old 600 film!

You can see from the video that the film is not as light sensitive as previous TIP films. The shot that was shielded from light developed pretty much exactly as the shot that was not shielded.

I shot them at 19 degrees C. I am not sure if temperature plays a large role in how they turn out. Maybe another test is in order ;)
