A Road trip on Film - Visiting the South Coast with Ektachrome 100
Everyone who shoots film knows how expensive it is now (and sadly, is becoming), so when I use it, I want to make sure I choose my subjects carefully, so I don’t waste it. My five pack of Kodak Ektachrome (120) had been sitting in my fridge for many months, waiting for the right moment to be loaded into my camera. What better way to prompt its use than a work trip down to the South coast of England, with its giant white cliffs and rocky shores. Though, this wasn’t the first roll I shot, those were the images of Alexandra Palace you can see in last week’s blog.
With a great range of lighting conditions, both inside and outside, this trip gave me a real feel for what this film stock is capable of in medium format. I had been impressed when I shot it in 35mm, and it didn’t disappoint me here either. Providing a very different colour balance to that of Fuji’s Provia or Velvia, this substitutes vivid purples for truer to life colours. I hope you enjoy the collection of images and let me know in the comments down below, what your thoughts are on the images or Ektachrome itself.
