It has been a while since I last posted, but I do have some good ones to show you.
Now to explain my absence, the last couple weeks haven't been the best for me. I went through some personal stuff that put me out for a week, my mood has been extremely low and I got very very depressed. It brought back a lot of bad memories and insecurities that I thought I was able to get over. It'll take some time for me to get beck to the much happier state that I was in before when I was uploading regularly, but it's a journey that I feel like I need to take.
Today I have a roll of Harman Phoenix 200 and Kodak Porta 160 to show you. I will start off with the roll of Phoenix 200

The majority of this roll I shot at the marina in Santa Barbara, my favorite spot for photography as you can tell. I was pretty excited to see these small boats floating around in the marina. The boats were being manned by some kids, I think they were taking a sailing class or something and I thought it was pretty neat. It gave for some great different shapes for my usual compositions when I shoot around the marina.

I just love seeing the boats around, with all the colors to see. I feel like Phoenix 200 suits this location well. It give so much more character to the surroundings with its very dramatic colors, everything even slightly bright just pops.

I think I'm coming to like this film stock more, but if only I had my exposure settings right, the entire roll was underexposed which I'm not super happy about,

These are the first 2 shots I took on the roll. Went to my old Highschool's football game because my friend invited me to come and watch their brother play in the game with them. These 2 shots are super underexposed but I love how they turned out. The green of the field and the reds of the uniforms just stand out crazy cool.
The next is only a couple shots from a roll of Porta 160 I shot on my Yashica-A. This is the first time I shot Porta in over a year, they came out alright. Definitely not my favorite pictures that i took but i got a handful of stuff I really like.

Nothing really much to write home about, but I did try my best to meter with just my eyes. It was definitely hard to get everything right, especially in the darker areas, But it was a good experience. Shooting casually with the TLR is also a pretty fun time. I'd love to do it more, but unfortunately I cant afford to do it regularly.

We'll see how much more active I will be. There's only a couple weeks left in the school semester, and I'm gonna be fairly busy with finals. Hopefully I'll be able to shoot more afterwards during my winter break, and hopefully my mind will be able to rest by then too. Till next time!
