Great series Jon. What is that little log cabin? Yours?
Thanks Tom! No, that little cabin is in Cherokee National Forest and is a historic homestead cabin. However, it can be reserved for overnight stays by contacting the park service. Here is the name of it.
My wife and I took 3 trips to Tellico Plains, TN this summer. 2 were for dual sport motorcycle riding and 1 just back roads riding in the pickup. Fun exploring this area, the natural beauty and figuring out the past, lots of history as this was the heart of the Cherokee Indians prior to the Trail of Tears and removal to Oklahoma.
Jack Daniels country, in and around Lynchburg in Moore Co, TN.
Leica M5, canon 50/1.8 ltm, elmar 90/4 and maybe the vc 35/2.5 thrown in. Dev hc110
The building in the left background is a huge warehouse, one of many, holding barrels of whiskey that are aging. Strong, pungent whiskey smell when driving by these on the main 2 lane hwy.
and, from the same roll...my youngest dog, the Catahoula Cur learned to swim.

Edward, those people are waiting for the bus, while I am waiting impatiently for my 120 scanning guide from B&H to arrive. 😣 Previously I was getting low resolution scans done by the local lab but they can not do 6x12 so I need to scan with my v750 flat bed. Just got 5 rolls of JCH 400 120 to try. Should be more moodier than Tri x with less grain.
Gary, like that image with the old gas pumps. Is that an abandoned gas station?
Yes, it sure is. Stumbled across it in the middle of a field....

Ultramax is looking pretty good Edward! I don't think I have ever shot that stuff.
Thank you Gary. It’s a cheap colorful film that I wanted to try. Not as good as portra as I found out.
Yes I agree the Provia F colors are excellent.
Has anyone tried Cinestill 50 D?
Just picked up some 120 version today but only got to shoot some JCH and TriX 400. The Cinestill looks to have nice skin tones and colors.

50D is an awesome film that gives you cinematic colors. The only problem is the lack of antihalation layer that shows in the highlights but can be used artistically. There are also some blemishes from the remjet removal process.

I tried a few rolls of 50D in 120 and really didn't like it at all. I had a few keepers but the color output of the film is not what I prefer. Mostly all the images had a weird (very slight) warm yellowish cast that came across as a bit of glow. I did like the sharpness though. Let us know what you think!
Out with a friend riding trails and backroads last month. Came across this old General Store. "If we ain't got it, you don't need it!" Oly mju 1, c200, pakon scan.
Just one small advice about the "scanning", I assume it was done with a mirrorless. I would recommend to underexpose in raw, just as you do usually to protect highlights, then pull up the file in LR. At least this is what my scanning software does automatically and it works quite well.

yeah, i'm actually more of an overexpose and obliterate the highlights kinda guy on digital (on film too). i am just taking macro pictures (of not particularly well flattened film) to "scan" these. i tried a few different exposures for the last two images, couldn't reproduce the nice highlight rolloff i see in the original.
maybe i just need to play with processing the underexposed "scans" more.
