These images were shot at Third Beach in Middletown, Rhode Island. I took my dogs for a walk, an activity they love. I don’t have photographs of them since I had the Contax T2 and it’s hard to capture Duke’s and Lilly’s energized movements with the camera. I used Kodak Ektar understanding that it likes the sun. The images had a bluish cast so I had to warm them slightly in Lightroom to give a natural color to the sands. I have been on the fence about this camera, not really warming to it but from this roll I am happy with the sharpness and overall quality of the images. I do hope to spend some quality film time this weekend, a long weekend in remembrance of our veterans, all of whom deserve immense gratitude and honor. I can only upload 4 images, seem to be out of space. Hopefully I can figure out how to change that.
I don’t really know, but it might well be that Skylightfilters and UV-Filters have been around in the era of film with a reason. nowadays with digital sensors and other lens building techniques there is the argument these filters have become obsolete. But on film they made a difference, I was told.
I use one only on a QL17, but I would like to have some more for my other cams and lenses.

Agreed. The Contax T2 I don’t think has a filter thread so I would have to hold a filter in front of it. I learned a lesson from this one….

Very nice, and it has a hint of a washed out sunbleached feel which works perfectly with tje subjects.

Thank you! I have been experimenting with Ektar. Color balancing is quite different from Portra 160. I think I will post images showing this for my next post.
