Camera: Nikon F90X with the AF Nikkor 28-70mm f/3.5-4.5D lens with an orange filter.
Film: Agfa APX 400 Professional
Processing: Walkens House of Film, Melbourne, Australia with the Noritsu scanner.
I may have just found my favourite film stock in this series of photographs taken recently in Hobart. I was excited to give the new Agfa a try, and bought a roll of Agfa APX 400 Professional film. The 400 ISO gives you more flexibility in differing light conditions, though I think I would probably go with Agfa APX 100 Professional in the future. 36 shots in the roll might also be a little too many, though I have to say it only took me an afternoon to get every exposure.
I'll leave you to judge the results over the coming days, but to me the contrast was excellent and the grain reasonable for 400 film. I have no complaints as every shot was perfectly exposed with an orange filter. In this shot of local street art I can honestly say it is better than anything I could get from a converted RAW file with my digital Nikon D850. Not bad from a camera that dates from 1994.
I am delighted to see the famous name of Agfa Photo reappearing on the film photography landscape once again. Further evidence that film is back!
Light is the fundamental element of all artists. A lot of time is spent deciding how best to use it.
At the end of the day, when you have been boxing with other male opponents all day, you may sometimes loose a battle. At that point you need to retrieve and contemplate.

I’m a dog person. I’ve never liked cats, until I saw her. My friends got Naz as a kitten very recently, and I fell in love with her. She is a pure bundle of purrrrs and so soft and lazy, as I am. I think we are a good match, I could pet her all day and she could be petted all day. Have a purrrrfect Wednesday dear friends. 😻
Back from our Berlin journey! As we took the plane at Zaventem airport, we decided to spend a day in Brussels.

Lot of moving people but the 1100D don't like high ISO, so a hard choice to do between high aperture & high shutter speed or small aperture & low shutter speed which it's the choice i've done, maybe not the correct one :-(
The woman contemplating the building didn't move for at least 1 minute, a longer exposure would have be nice to blur the moving people, contrasting with her immobility... but I left my tripod at home!
