I started to realise that I was liking the look of photos shot on Kodak Portra. I wanted to shoot some of it to see what I thought. I bought a pack of 5 rolls of 160VC from Glazer’s<\/a> just before heading to OSCON<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the shots I got:
\n\"Selena\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Dustin\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Mark\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Helen\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n(granted I didn’t press the shutter release, but I like it)<\/p>\n

\"HiPurr<\/a>
\nIs the one that sealed it for me. This was the “ahh… I can use this for all sorts” shot.<\/p>\n

All of these were developed and scanned at the Walgreens down the street. I could probably do better scans of some… but this was awfully less work for me.<\/p>\n

I am really liking the skin tones from it. The vividness of colours also comes through while retaining excellent skin tones (certainly not always the case). I may even end up shooting some at Burning Man (did buy more rolls yesterday!)<\/p>\n

There is (of course) more being added to my Kodak Portra 160VC set on flickr<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
