Kodak Ektar 100
This is an intro into my re-introduction into color negative shooting and also a summary on how good Ektar 100 is. I should have never stopped shooting film, it’s that good.
Now for the photos!

New Year
For 2013, I have been on a film binge. Yeah, I had found using film has really made myself at peace after years of keeping up with others with my A900 that I just dumped my DSLR for a film processing system. It does not mean I’ll stop doing cosplay shoots at conventions, but it allows myself the freedom not having the pressure of taking a lot of photos, but to concentrate on doing fewer and better ones.

It’s almost been two weeks since Otaku Mex 2012. I have been stoked by the people who I took photos of and my fans out there. I had really stepped up my game and focus. I know now how to do great things and to really make myself a better photographer and as a person as well.
Without further ado, here’s a few of them!

Second Roll
A little while ago I shot a second roll and improved on some of the processing and I used a Y2 Yellow filter. I really like how I can do so much, and yet there is a limit. This limit is where you find yourself and must make something of it. Here’s a few shots and I hope you enjoy them!

Ilford FP4+ and Diafine
Well, photography is something I messed with for a decade but I never really used anything in the darkroom until now. I went and got myself some bulk 100 ft. roll of Ilford FP4+, some Diafine, Ilford Rapid fix. Also some bulk film materials, like cassettes, daylight loader and some darkroom supplies. This is the result of the second roll that I processed, the first was of some Kodak TMax 400 120 using my Okako Waltax, I had not scanned those negatives yet, too big. But I can scan 35mm at home and easily. I still have some bugs to work out, but this was done in a 24 hour period. From the time I loaded the film into the Minolta SRT 202, and scanned the negatives.

Hinata, from Naruto
Just a nice little shoot when I was in the Bosque in Los Lunas. Went down to the park there and spent a fun 90 minutes in the 100 deg. F heat. Managed to keep myself on task and had fun with a lovely girl from Los Lunas.

Cosplay Photos of ABQ Comic Expo and Fanime Con 2012
First, as you can see is big news. I did a impromptu photoshoot with Yaya Han from YayaHan.com at ABQ Comic Expo 2012 on Saturday. We shot in the Con Center underground tunnel in very dark conditions. This was a pretty exclusive shoot. She made this costume just days earlier and I was the first one to do shoot it. I hope you like this Yaya!
I enjoyed your panel and your stuff and I am ready to help out the New Mexico Cosplay scene!

Solar Eclipse 2012
Yesterday was a fun day. Some things first, I wanted to make a nice event for my friends and it just turned out into a family outing. I think it turned out the best that way. Also I wanted a grill out there to cook food, but it was too dry and the police told us no.
We got there at 5 PM MDT to start setting up the equipment and just sitting outside for a while. We all had welders masks and my crazy filter set up on my lens.
- Soligor 8x Neutral Density Filter
- Minolta UV Haze filter
- Polaroid roll film 4x ND filter
- Hoya Circular Polarizer
- Minolta 70-210mm f4-5.6
- Sakar 2x Teleconverter
- Sony Alpha 900 shot in Raw.
Here’s the quick time lapse video I made of the pictures.
Here’s the link to the full size photos I took.
