What a beautiful picture. Film adds something special.
Thanks, while I shoot a lot of dig, just using my film cameras always feels more special and connects to my past, and when it turns out well I am very pleased.

I think I understand. My father used to develop his film himself. It was a treat to be allowed into the dark room, to watch the images magically appear on photo paper.
For all the convenience of digital, I think other mediums hold our souls a little better.

Stunning! Just getting into film myself, this is beautiful!
Thanks really appreciate the comment. Film changes your perspective, I shoot a lot of dig nikon and leica, but film is slow and deliberate, each frame costs money and there are only 36 on a roll, moreover you don't get to see the results until long after the trip and moment is over. No instant gratification, just anticipation of seeing what was captured- a week later. Sometimes I am surprised just how much I trusted my captures without getting an ulcer decades ago, of course there was no choice and I didn't know "better" like now. I have been surprised how I feel about film today, it means more to me, it requires being zen about it, and it is a good thing this my interest, not my job so I can enjoy it rather than agonize about. I am sure you will enjoy delving more into film if the first time or again.

Great shoot! The film developing and scans look fantastic. Was this photo taken on a boat ?
Thanks ! Yes, it was a small yacht with 4 couples on it for a photo oriented trip. The developing and scanning was done by The Darkroom in San Diego. they do a great job,
