I love Fujifilm Superia film. Before you reach the end, try to guess the ASA of each shot!

Olympus OM-2000 with Soligor 70-220 F3.5 lens at 220m with its macro ring turned all the way. 6pm meant the sun was going down. 1/60th of a second (I never had such supernatural powers of stabilization before I swear!)

I think this was at 70mm. For some reason, exporting the scanned JPG directly from the file (without first copying and pasting into a new document) causes a color profile shift to occur. However, I like this color more.

I find that my OM-2000 exposes grays rather brightly.

Olympus 50mm F1.8, at F1.8. 1/60th of a second!

I can’t remember how long this exposure was. Looks like the Vivitar 24mm F2.0. Photoshopped.

Originally, long sky exposures looked like this. 4 minutes.

With film, you can expose for as long as you want! This is 45 minutes, with the Olympus 35-70mm F3.5-4.8 lens with Pro Tama 0.45x wide angle converter lens. Man, I gotta clean the wide angle. I was disappointed that the trails were straight lines. 🙁

Soligor 70-220mm F3.5 again! 220mm goodness.

Vivitar 24mm F2.0, at F5.6.

Soligor 70-220mm F3.5 at 1/30! (The image was originally slightly soft, but shrinking it made it look sharp.)

Baaa run away from the dangers of opening the film back too soon!

Sometimes it looks pretty. I swear I heard the click and felt the tension release while winding!

The Olympus OM-2000 with the Auto-Chinon 135mm F2.8 lens. Yes, the lens is for the Pentax K-mount! I held it in front of the camera, while focused at infinity, moving it closer and further from the camera until it was in focus.

The Soligor 70-220mm F3.5 monster has its own tripod mount. I added a Vivitar 2x teleconverter, and it gave me this after a 10 second-delayed shot!

(Yes, I made sure the moon was in the center of the frame before shooting.)

And now, for shots from the Sony A100.

Cowbell spotted at the last Crossborders gig!

If you don’t have a shutter release cable, you can always wrap your camera strap around your shutter and weigh it down with a camera bag.

Here’s the other interesting thing; all the shots before the bench in the park are shot with Fujifilm Superia ASA1600! It can be gotten at under RM20 at KL Sentral. All the shots after (except the last two) are shot with Fujifilm Superia ASA100.

Frankly, I felt that at ASA1600 the color saturation pulled through just as much as it did at ASA100. Which means, buying ASA100 film just for the color wasn’t worth the speed hit for me. Also, ASA100 wasn’t that grainless, either. ASA1600 was noticeably more speckly, but in the age of Photoshop, the Despeckle filter alone kills a whole load of it. All pictures from ASA1600 had a dark strip on the bottom (it might be because I got an expired roll from YS Camera, SS2?)

ASA1600 let me freeze gigs at 1/30s, but I’ll just go with underexposing slower film. So for now, I think I’ll stick to the easily found and cheap ASA400 film.
