Found a Pink feather Boa.
Moved it, used it, threw it.
Mamiya 645 Pro TL
55mm 2.8 C Sekor
Fujicolour Pro 160 NS
At the risk of repeating myself.
Different camera, different format, different film and colour.
It is growing old disgracefully on the Island of Thanet, 400 yards from the sea.
It can still be moved but I have never seen it move.
I took this in October 2021.

While exploring the various trails in the Redwoods National and Sate park system, I always looked for locations where massive redwoods stood on both sides of the path. S-curves in the trail were another favorite, but those were far fewer than giant redwoods guarding the route. I found quite a few of these photo opportunities at the Humboldt Redwoods state park even though the path was a little too wide for my liking. I love how these images turned out, especially with Fuji Pro 160’s beautiful rendering of the greenery.

Now that I am regularly using my film camera, I this I can share some of my learnings from my experience. I used film for a brief while when I started out taking pictures but didn’t pay much attention to the film type. But now that I am doing it a bit more seriously, I have noticed how knowledgeable one has to be with film and its behavior to get great results. While researching on the subject, I read about another photographer who swore by the Fujifilm Pro 160NS film stock for photographing scenes that’s had a lot of green tones. For some reason this film was hard to come by in the US and I had to get a 5 pack of 120 roll which was quite expensive.
While I looked forward to getting some good results, I didn’t have high hopes. But the film blew me away, especially in the lush green forests of Northern California, my results were comparable to any digital camera. Here is one image that impressed me, taken at the Humboldt Redwoods State Park.

Every time I visit the ist house at Point Cabrillo in Northern California, I make it a point to explore the seashore around it. Depending on the tides, some interesting photos could be taken at the cliffs around the lighthouse. On one of our visits in the past, we saw some beautiful wildflower blooms all around the lighthouse building and were able to take some stunning images.
During this visit, the meadows seemed to be drying out in the hot sun, and there were no wildflowers, but I managed to take this image from the cliffs overlooking the ocean to the north. I loved the green tones in the water and the sea stack holding its own against relentless waves. Watching this scene through the massive viewfinder of the medium format Bronica was a treat.

Point Cabrillo lighthouse was a bit of an accidental discovery while we were on a road trip to Mendocino a few years ago but has since then a regular stopping point whenever we make a trip up the north coast of California. We didn’t change tradition during this trip either and spend a wonderful morning exploring the beautiful lighthouse and its surroundings. Since I have been here before, I had no problem just taking my film camera.
I would have like to use the Portra 400 here, but I already had the Fuji Pro 160NS on my camera, so I just decided to try my lick with the fuji. Turns out my fear was misplaced as the fuji handled the lighting conditions without any issues. We were at Point Cabrillo well after sunrise, but the light hasn’t yet become too contrasty. I metered specifically for the shadows and prayed that all the articles I read about color negative film handling highlights better were accurate. Turns out they were and I am very happy with the results.
