When I tried Washi-S, a sound recording film for cinema projection that can be used for photography, I thought its high-contrast, low-dynamic-range qualities might be fun to try in winter. So I did. Shot on Minolta XD with MD Rokkor 28mm/2.

Wonderful composition and depth of field!
Thank you! And this is the benefit of a responsive P&S camera - I had my two dogs with me (one hand holding each leash) and had only a moment to grab this before the composition was gone. Focus lock on Riley, pan up for the rest. A second later it was gone!

These are neat! Kind of reminds me the rendering of a steel rim.
It's the sort of film that lends itself to Jacob Aue Sobol's style of photography, which is another reason I thought it might work for winter. I might just pick up another roll to use before the snow and ice are gone.
Roll 137: Acros in an Ondu pinhole, while evaluating a 2-stop center filter to even out the illumination. Certainly a step in the right direction, but still some work to be done. The reciprocity characteristics of Acros make it super nice for use in a pinhole.

PS: How DO you guys find the time for film? I know Bob is retired, but I assume many of you still work. :-)
I’ve got at least 25 more years till I retire. With two kids and a crazy schedule, I try and go out to shoot at least 2 weekends a month. Sometimes I’ll shoot some “street” or events with a coworker and have lunch halfway during our shooting. It’s great to get out and walk when you’re a desk jockey at work.
Like Huss mentioned, I’m one of those weirdos that develops color negative film (and soon side film) at home. I haven’t developed B&W at home for at least a year, but either way, developing and scanning at home is pretty quick!
