From a film sortie a few weeks back. This was more about trying some new things/gear but these are pleasant views.
Didn't get much at sunset as the marine layer came up & killed the color.
Definitely am going back when I'm more confident in the weather, probably this Monday.
This first one is from Hole in the Wall beach, but I still think of it as Panther Beach.
This is taken with the 90 (28mm). I wanted to get out more to the left but the surf was pretty wicked.
This is on Velvia 100. I did use a 2 stop GND but due to my choice of movements was unable to push the filter down as far as needed.
I figured out how correct for that "next time"!
This on the northern section of Panther Beach. This was taken with my "new" 300 Fujinon (90mm)
which is probably too tight, but wanted to try it out. I think next time I'll use the 210(63mm)
This is shot on 15 year old Astia in quickload!
From what I had read provia & astia are similar in contrast. Slightly different tones
I like both for landscape work as they have more dynamic range than velvia. I'm a slave to EBay for deals on expired film ;-)
Is there any particular film recommended for in door photography, of mostly objects, and possible humans as well? I don't have the ability to shoot out door much, and I wonder which film whether color, or B&W, would make sense, to use in door? I won't matter much about the ISO, or how grainy it may look, as long as I could not waste an ideal outdoor film! Thanks everyone!

If you are indoors and using a tripod, there's really no film that you can't use. All options are on the table, it's just a question of what kind of look are you going for? About the only "outdoor" film there is, is Fujifilm Velvia. But if you want a highly saturated look, then you can still use it.
If you want really good skin color, Fuji 400H is fantastic. If you want the best black and white film (in my opinion), then Fuji Acros 100 is the way to go.

Good luck!
RM, Thank you, I'll give them a go! I will pay close attention to the Fuji Acros 100, and the 400H as well! I am thinking that I will try a black and white that may resemble something out of the 1800's, but not with too much grain, if that is possible! I really don't know yet, and I have so many reviews, and I have seen so many examples, that I really don't know where to start!

You are welcome. Acros will give you almost NO grain so that might not be the film for you. If you want something that shows for sure that you are using film, perhaps start with Ilford Delta 3200. This film is an ISO 1000 film (if I remember right) but designed to be pushed very hard, as the name 3200 indicates. It is often shot at ISO3200. This will give you grain, but not massive grain. I like this film and shoot it at ISO1600 often. This film might be best for you as it has a very high ability to be experimented with. I like Acros film for times when I want next to no grain.
I've seen a lot of your shots that you have posted in the past and I can say that you almost certainly want to start with Ilford Delta 3200 for black and white shots.
