Continuing our four year-strong tradition of sunset fall shoots in Stowe, Vermont - we're never stopping. This is one of our favourite photos from this year/maybe ever? It also happens to be from our last ever roll of Kodak Portra 400VC, which was discontinued like three years ago, but we've been hoarding it. Seems like the perfect send off for our all-time favourite film.

Kiev 88 + Kodak Portra 400VC.
October 2, 2014.
I started by rejecting this photograph, as soon as it came out from the scanner. The negative looked overexposed, and this reflected on the image, which was too bright. I also did not like the composition, which lacked the leading lines and was too cluttered. But this time, I decided to finish my work on this image even if I'm not going to use it in the future. If I failed with it, then I will learn from this failure and be better next time. I sat down and started to write down what I do not like about it. "Too much clutter, weak composition, overexposed" - I wrote. And then I suddenly realized that these are all minor issues! A proper crop would eliminate the clutter and unveil the composition. The overexposure was only apparent, and the file had all the details preserved. Ten minutes later I've got this result, and started to like it much more than before. I learned the lesson, but not in the way I expected: do not throw away your failures, study them, analyze, and, maybe, they are not, actually, the failures.
This is from out first day at Pfeiffer Beach. It was rather cloudy and it rained a bit, so it wasn't the best day. We went back on a much sunnier day to see the rest of the place. The whole beach was amazing.

I didn't get to use the 4x5 camera as planned due to a 4 yr old & 2yr old running around - as it was, the 2 yr old attempted to chuck my Yashicamat into the lake but missed and it landed in the bushes at the edge of the water!
