Analogue Photography: Part 7 — Gran Canaria with Kodak Portra 400

Introduction

Gran Canaria is one of the Canary Islands, a Spanish archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, just off the northwest coast of Africa. A popular holiday destination for Europeans, the island is often described as a miniature continent, thanks to its remarkably diverse landscapes and microclimates. Long beaches and sweeping sand dunes give way to lush ravines, rugged volcanic mountains, and picturesque villages.

When I traveled to Gran Canaria earlier this year, I wanted to bring a roll of analog film to capture the island’s varied landscapes. From the Continue reading Analogue Photography: Part 7 — Gran Canaria with Kodak Portra 400 →

On a short trip to Bern in Switzerland I exposed two rolls of still available color negative film as well as a roll of expired high ISO slide film. Let me take you on a stroll through this beautiful city!

Analogue Adventures – Part 56: Nikon AF3 35mm 2.8

Among all the Revueflex and Porst junk cameras I usually see on the local flea markets, I discovered the familiar “Nikon” logo on a compact analogue camera. The cameras was very dirty, there was no way of knowing if it actually works, but for 25 bucks I decided to take the gamble.

Analogue Adventures – Part 55: Kodak Ektachrome 320T (expired)

Kodak Ektachrome 320T

As already pointed out: in 2025 no one makes slide film faster than ISO100 anymore. And no one makes slide film to shoot under artifical light (“Tungsten based”) anymore either. That wasn’t always the case and from 1992 to 2003 Kodak offered this Ektachrome 320T, a higher speed tungsten based slide film. These have all long expired, but thanks to our readers I got my hands on a roll. Let’s see what we can do with it.
Processing (E-6) was done at ProLab in Stuttgart, scanning was done by one of our readers via a DSLR. The pictures you see in this article are from one roll.

Analogue Adventures – Part 54: Kodak Ektar 25 (expired) C-41

Kodak Ektar 25

Kodak Ektar 25 was a professional low ISO colour negative film first released in 1989. This film was already discontinued in 1994 and that probably makes it one of the oldest films I had a look at here. 
Processing (C-41) and scanning was done at urbanfilmlab in Germany, the pictures in this article are from one roll of film. I also took into account it expired some time ago and chose ISO12.
