Fall on Film

Here’s another roll(ish) of film capturing the glorious colors and feelings of fall in Kansas City. This time around I explored Hyde Park, Janssen Place, KC Art Institute, The Nelson Atkins Museum grounds, and the stunning Rockhill neighborhood.

Shooting 35mm Film

Here’s my first roll of film! Actually second, I screwed up the first roll. I really wanted to see what modern Canon glass (tilt shift in particular) + 35mm Kodak Portra160 would look like. Some of these I took with a 24-70, and some with a 24mm tilt shift. I even stitched together two exposures into one photo, just to see how Lightroom would handle it (flawlessly).

Immediately I noticed kind of a “dual color tone” which I love. You get shades of blue in the shadow that counters with oranges/yellows so you get more of that complimentary color harmony effect. I did minimal post production on most of these… mainly contrast adjustments and spot removal.

One main factor that might be effecting the colors is that I had the roll of film in the camera body for a long time… 6+ months. This could easily degrade the shots, but I’m not sure if it really did. I’ll just keep shooting rolls along with my normal stuff and learn along the way.

2 exposures from different shifted perspectives merged together.
