Monochrome Monday… A wedding and Kodak T-Max P3200
Quiet please!
Nikon FA, Nikkor 85mm f/2 AI-S – Kodak T-Max P3200 rated at ISO 1600
Rosie and Daniel’s wedding must have been the first that I’ve attended in 20 years where I wasn’t actually expected to take photos… needless to say, I still packed a camera though.
I couldn’t resist trying some of the recently reintroduced Kodak T-Max P3200 black & white film and the above shot is one of the first I took. I’m reasonably happy with the results (even if I didn’t quite nail the focus), the grain isn’t too obtrusive and I think there’s just the right amount of contrast.
I’ve a couple more rolls in stock… what to shoot with them?

Polaroid 636 – Impossible B&W instant film
Madam is out on a hen night tonight (which involves a cocktail making class… it won’t end well…) so I filled a bag with cameras and went out snapping!
Another shot on Impossible Project type 600 black & white film, again digitised using Google’s PhotoScan app for iOS.
