Florida Portraits at Golden Hour
SPECS: Canon 50e. Canon 40mm. Lomo F2 400 film stock.
I had picked up a couple rolls of Lomography F2 400 Film and had been waiting for a chance to shoot on it for a couple months. It has an interesting pitch but I loved the sample colors it produced. From the website:
"Back in 2010, Lomography purchased a giant “master” roll of 400 ASA film from a group of renowned Italian filmmakers — the group was pulling out of the film production business, and this was the last master roll ever made. Instead of chopping it up into 35mm film strips and selling the film immediately, Lomography decided to get experimental.
The company placed the film inside oak casks and allowed it to age under ideal conditions in the Czech Republic. 7 years later, Lomography recently shipped the film to Vienna, packaged it into 35mm film rolls, and took a taste peek."
I decided to take some portraits around golden hour with some friends of mine, and I love how the colors came out. The next roll I will shoot slightly over, as the shadows got a little grainy. But overall a fantastic film stock.
