So as my foray into shooting film continues, I decided to try and shoot some color film.  I set out with my Olympus OM-1 and roll of Fujifilm NPH-400 film.  I had read about this film in a magazine sometime ago and seemed like it had some interesting properties.  It is a low contrast portrait film, but has a good properties for general photography as well.  Of course it is no longer produced (it has been replaced by Fujifilm 400H which is quite different from what I have read) so I went on eBay and found a few rolls of old/expired NPH-400 and off I went.  I set out around my neighborhood, Boston’s South End, on a few different occasions and came up with some interesting shots.  Scanning the film was a bit of a chore, but actually kind of fun.  It reminds me a lot of being in a darkroom.  I plan on posting about scanning workflow as soon as I run a few more rolls thorough the process and fine tune it a bit.  Stay tuned for that.

For now, here is the South End in Color (film)…

This is one of the chef’s at Coppa through a window with the reflection of autumn foliage in the window.

A skull left over from Halloween I assume.
