I wouldn't mind hearing the backstory/context if you'd be willing to share
This was in a not so safe area in a closed shopping complex. Someone had shattered the glass and rummaged through things. By itself I wasn't planning on taking a photo, but when I saw the discipline sign I had to get out the 4x5. I used a spot meter to meter the scene and it came back 0, so I knew it was going to be a gamble whether I got anything and all I had left was Provia. I set up and tripped the shutter, then went out of frame and lit up the discipline sign and shattered glass with my flashlight. After about 2 minutes I was ready to get out of there!
It's been a second (six months) since my last post, but well, I had a love affair with Nikon Zf which coincided with my very-busy-season, which rolled into the holidays, which was then followed up by a trip to NZ (where the local airports refuse to hand-check film). But...I am back. Please pretend that I never left you.
Thanks to @madNbad for the XT-3...my xtol was likely expired (didn't want to risk it).

..saw these at the end of a day, on which I had driven out to the countryside to visit a friend.
Took a bunch of cameras, bag surely was heavy enough.
We spent hours walking - mostly through really beautiful woods in her area.
I did only take one photo that whole day, as I told myself "I just can't ever make the woods look interesting in my pics anyway".
I kinda feel you'd have to shoot it on many many megapixels, and then print it really good, and really large, to do it justice..
..like Ming Thein did, basically - and I kinda stopped to even bother with 35mm.
Long story short these pictures of yours made me re-think this attitude 🙂
They're really good, love the vibe!
Ps: color pics are nice as well, I don't understand how you're managing to get vivid colors like that from Fuji Superia 200 that's expired in 2004, amazing 😻
