50y.o. Zeiss Contina, Ektar 100, English Lake District

I decided to use the second roll of Ektar in the old Contina last weekend, and I have to say I love it. Exposure and focus done by brain power. Edits in Picasa: Rotate, slight tweak to shadows. No colour or sharpness adjustments

To be honest i have never been able to take proper color images, i'm more b&w ... well that said your images are fine, and this film is really impressive. In good light conditions that show in your pictures, maybe apart the 1st, and it's not a big issue, it shines ( Very Happy

) Nice series, my fav is the last one , hope you prints some

Thanks hexi. Number one is a case of "The Great Photo that got away". You will notice the sun light hitting the crag to the right and just above the farm house, well a few seconds earlier it was illuminating the farm itself and looked magical. That is what I thought I had captured, but when the film came back I saw the moment had passed just before I clicked the shutter. Crying or Very sad
